Luke 6:15-25

15 Mattityahu; T'oma; Ya`akov Ben-Halfai;
16 Shim`on, the one called the Zealot; Y'hudah Ben-Ya`akov; and Y'hudah from K'riot, who turned traitor.
17 Then he came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his talmidim was there with great numbers of people from all Y'hudah, Yerushalayim and the coast around Tzor and Tzidon; they had come to hear him and be healed of their diseases.
18 Those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being healed;
19 and the whole crowd was trying to touch him, because power kept going out from him, healing everyone.
20 He looked at his talmidim and said: "How blessed are you poor! for the Kingdom of God is yours.
21 "How blessed are you who are hungry! for you will be filled. "How blessed are you who are crying now! for you will laugh.
22 "How blessed you are whenever people hate you and ostracize you and insult you and denounce you as a criminal on account of the Son of Man.
23 Be glad when that happens; yes, dance for joy! because in heaven your reward is great. For that is just how their fathers treated the prophets.
24 "But woe to you who are rich, for you have already had all the comfort you will get!
25 "Woe to you who are full now, for you will go hungry! "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and cry!
