All of the Twelve were men of modest means and humble stations in life;
they were men of moderate ability, and most of their names are still
obscure; yet they were the first leaders and the real organizers of the
most important society the world has known, and their names are yet to be
graven on the foundations of the holy city, the light of which is to fill
the earth with glory.

2. The Great Sermon. Ch. 6:20-49

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed
_are_ ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed _are_
ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed _are_ ye that
weep now: for ye shall laugh. 22 Blessed are ye, when men shall
hate you, and when they shall separate you _from their company_,
and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of
man's sake. 23 Rejoice in that day, and leap _for joy_: for
behold, your reward is great in heaven; for in the same manner did
their fathers unto the prophets. 24 But woe unto you that are
rich! for ye have received your consolation. 25 Woe unto you, ye

men shall speak well of you! for in the same manner did their

them that hate you, 28 bless them that curse you, pray for them
that despitefully use you. 29 To him that smiteth thee on the
_one_ cheek offer also the other; and from him that taketh away
thy cloak withhold not thy coat also. 30 Give to every one that
asketh thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not
again. 31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to
them likewise. 32 And if ye love them that love you, what thank
have ye? for even sinners love those that love them. 33 And if ye
do good to them that do good to you, what thank have ye? for even
sinners do the same. 34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to
receive, what thank have ye? even sinners lend to sinners, to
receive again as much. 35 But love your enemies, and do _them_
good, and lend, never despairing; and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be sons of the Most High: for he is kind toward the
unthankful and evil. 36 Be ye merciful, even as your Father is
