A:

Four of the eight beatitudes are from the hypothetical 'Q' document (6:20-23) and are found in both Matthew and Luke. The remaining four can be traced back to other sources known to Matthew, including the Psalms. The beatitudes as recorded in Matthew are:

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.

The corresponding four beatitudes in Luke are different in meaning, although the words are almost the same:

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

2. Those who are weeping, for they will laugh

3. The hungry, for they will be satisfied

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