Study Note
The first beatitude — 'blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven' — opens the Sermon on the Mount's programmatic inversion of worldly values. The 'poor in spirit' (ptochoi to pneumati) are those who know their spiritual bankruptcy before God — a posture of radical dependence that stands opposite to the Pharisees' spiritual self-sufficiency. Isaiah 61:1-2 provides the background: the Servant announces good news to the 'anawim (the poor/afflicted), and Jesus opens his Sermon by pronouncing blessing on those who occupy that posture. The present tense 'theirs is the kingdom' makes the beatitude not merely a future promise but a present reality — the kingdom belongs to the poor in spirit now, even while awaiting full revelation.
