Blessed are the Poor or Poor in Spirit?

In this episode of People in Exile, Andrew, Ben, and Chris compare and contrast Matthew 5 with Luke 6. 

​Is this the same sermon?  If so, is it contradictory?  If not, how do we best understand these two texts together?

Matthew 5
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Blessed are those who mourn
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness

Luke 6
Blessed are the poor
Blessed are those who mourn now
Blessed are those who hunger now
