Luke 6:17-23 - The Sermon On The Plain: The Beatitudes
17 and, descending with them, He stood upon a level place; and a large multitude of His disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, were present, who came to hear Him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18 and those troubled with unclean spirits were being healed; 19 and all the multitude were seeking to touch Him; because power was coming forth from Him, and was healing them all.
20 And He, lifting up His eyes on His disciples, said, "Happy, ye poor; because yours is the Kingdom of God. 21 "Happy, ye who are hungering now; because ye will be filled. "Happy, ye who are weeping now; because ye shall laugh. 22 "Happy are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from themselves, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.
23 "Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, behold, your reward is great in Heaven; for, after the same manner, were their fathers wont to do to the prophets.
