Luke 6:17-23 - The Sermon On The Plain: The Beatitudes
17 and, coming down with them, he stood upon a level place, also a great multitude of his disciples, - and a great throng of the people, from all Judaea and Jerusalem and the sea-coast of Tyre and Zidon, who had come to hearken unto him and to be healed from their diseases; 18 and, they who were molested by impure spirits, were being cured; 19 and, all the multitude, were seeking to touch him, because, power, from him, was coming forth, and healing all.
20 And, he, lifting up his eyes towards his disciples, was saying: - Happy, ye destitute, for, yours, is the kingdom of God. 21 Happy, ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Happy, ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh. 22 Happy, are ye, whensoever men shall hate you, and whensoever they shall separate you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man:
23 be rejoiced in that day, and leap, for lo! your reward, is great in heaven; for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the prophets.
