Luke 6:20-26 - Happiness And Sorrow

20 Then, raising his eyes and looking at his disciples, Jesus spoke as follows: "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh. 22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they expel you from among them, and taunt you, and reject your Name as an evil thing--on account of the Son of Man.

23 Then indeed you may be glad and dance for joy, for be sure that your reward in Heaven will be great; for that is what their ancestors did to the Prophets.

24 But 'alas for you who are rich,' for you have had your comforts in full. 25 Alas for you who are sated now, for you will hunger. Alas for you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep. 26 Alas for you when all men speak well of you; for this is what their ancestors did to the false Prophets.
