Luke 6: 17 - 26
|
| 17
|
And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
|
| 18
|
and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
|
| 19
|
And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came forth from him and healed them all.
|
| 20
|
And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
|
| 21
|
"Blessed are you that hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you that weep now, for you shall laugh.
|
| 22
|
"Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you and revile you, and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man!
|
| 23
|
Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for so their fathers did to the prophets.
|
| 24
|
"But woe to you that are rich, for you have received your consolation.
|
| 25
|
"Woe to you that are full now, for you shall hunger. "Woe to you that laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
|
| 26
|
"Woe to you, when all men speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets.
