Matthew 59

Matthew 5:9 is a verse from the Sermon on the Mount in the Gospel of Matthew, part of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The verse reads: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God." This verse is part of the Beatitudes, a series of teachings by Jesus that describe the characteristics of those who are blessed or fortunate. The term "peacemakers" (Greek: εἰρηνοποιοί, eirēnopoioi) refers to those who actively work to establish peace and harmony, both within their communities and in the world at large. The promise that they will be called "children of God" (Greek: υἱοὶ Θεοῦ, huioi Theou) signifies that their actions reflect the nature and character of God, who is often associated with peace in the Bible. In Hebrew, this verse can be translated as "אַשְׁרֵי עֹשֵׂי הַשָּׁלוֹם, כִּי יִקָּרֵאוּ בְּנֵי אֱלֹהִים" (Ashrei osei hashalom, ki yikarei venei Elohim). In Latin, it is "Beati pacifici, quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur." The context of this verse emphasizes the importance of peace and reconciliation in the teachings of Jesus, encouraging his followers to actively pursue and promote peace in their lives and relationships.
