Luke 6:17-23 - The Sermon On The Plain: The Beatitudes
17 And he came down with them, and stood in a plain; and with him stood a multitude of his disciples, and a great number of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea-coast of Tyre and Sidon, who had come to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases, 18 and those who were oppressed by evil spirits; and they were cured. 19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for power went forth from him, and healed them all.
20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said: Blessed are you that are 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 shall hate you, and shall withdraw themselves from you, and reproach 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 did their fathers to the prophets.
