A:The most famous of these teachings are the eight beatitudes found in Matthew, four of which are in Luke, although with some differences. This four are believed to have been copied by both authors from the hypothetical 'Q' document, a book of sayings attributed to Jesus, and could therefore have actually been spoken by Jesus. The remaining four beatitudes, in Matthew only, can be found in various earlier sources, making it somewhat less likely that they were really spoken by Jesus.

Matthew

  1. Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven
  2. They that mourn: for they will be comforted
  3. The meek: for they shall inherit the earth
  4. They which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
  5. The merciful: for they shall obtain mercy
  6. The pure in heart: for they shall see God
  7. The peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God
  8. they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Luke

  1. Blessed are the poor, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven

    - The first beatitude in Matthew is closer to the original in 'Q', but this reflects Luke's concern for the poor.

  2. Those who are weeping, for they will laugh
  3. The hungry, for they will be satisfied

    - Again, the author of Luke has altered the original, as seen in Matthew, to suit a concern for the poor and hungry.

  4. Followers of the Son of Man, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
