Jesus took his disciples up the mountain and gathered them around him. He taught them saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are the meek. Blessed are those who mourn.

Blessed are the merciful. Blessed are those who thirst for justice. Blessed are you when you are persecuted.

Blessed are you when you suffer. Be glad and rejoice for your reward is great in heaven.” Then Simon Peter said, “Are we supposed to know this?”

And Andrew said, “Do we have to write this down?” And James said, “Will we have this on a test?” And Philip said, “I have no paper.” And Bartholomew said, “Do we have to turn this in?”

And John said, “The other disciples didn’t have to learn this.” And Matthew said, “Would you go over this again? And Judas said, “What does this have to do with real life?” Then one of the Pharisees asked to see Jesus’ lesson plan and inquired of Jesus, “Where is your anticipatory set and your objectives in the cognitive domain?”

Then, Jesus wept.
