From Mathematics & Technology in the Classroom:

Then Jesus took his disciples up the mountain and gathering 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 the merciful...
Blessed are the peacemakers...
Blessed are they which are persecuted...
Rejoice and be exceeding glad; for great is your reward in heaven.

Then one of the pharisees who was present asked to see Jesus' lesson plab and inquired of Jesus:
"Where is your anticipatory set and your objectives in the cognitive domain?

And Jesus wept.
