CMatthew✓ Correct Answer
DLuke
Answer & Explanation
✓ Matthew
The Beatitudes appear in Matthew 5:3-12, at the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. The first of them is "Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"; the last is "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake ... for great is your reward in heaven." Beatitudes also appear in Luke 6:20-23, but he mentions only four of them - the blessings of the poor, the hungry, the sorrowful, and those hated for their faith.
