The "Beattitudes" are found in Matthew chapter 5. We can see in verses 1 and 2 who was listening when Jesus spoke these famous words: "And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,..." (Read also Matthew 8:1, the first verse directly after Jesus finishes speaking) So there were great multitudes of people, including Jesus' disciples, who were listening when Jesus was speaking. But the "Beattitudes" were not GIVEN TO or FOR everyone. They are for the "children of the kingdom". Jesus, being the Jewish Messiah, had offered to the children of Israel the long awaited kingdom that had been prophesied throughout the Old Testament. But when the Jews rejected Jesus as their Messiah (according to God's plan), Jesus was able to be crucified to pay for the sins of the world. Now all people, Jew or Gentile (non-Jew, also called Greek), can accept the atonement of Jesus' death on the cross as payment for their sin. Once a person has accepted Christ as their Savior, they are now a child of God, and a child of the future kingdom that Jesus Christ will set up one day. John 1:11-12 "He came unto his own (the Jews), and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name" Read also Ephesians 1:4-5, and Romans 10:9-13.

They are promises, given by Our Blessed Lord to those persons who totally give themselves to the imitation of Christ. (extracted from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J.
