Der Evangeliman

Selig sind, die Verfolgung leiden,
um der Gerechtigkeit willen, denn ihrer ist das Himmelreich.
Selig seid ihr, wenn euch die Menschen schmähn und verfolgen,
und alles Böse mit Unrecht wider euch reden um meinetwillen.
Freuet euch und frohlocket, denn euer Lohn ist groß im Himmel.
Selig sind,  die Verfolgung leiden ...
Lasset die Kleinen zu mir kommen!
Ich will euch das Wort Gottes lehren.
