17 And ¹he came down with them and stood on a level place, with ²a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of ³Tyre and Sidon,

18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. ⁴And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

19 And all the crowd ⁵sought to touch him, for ⁶power came out from him and healed them all.

21 ¹⁰"Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. ¹¹"Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

22 "Blessed are you when ¹²people hate you and when they ¹³exclude you and revile you and ¹⁴spurn your name as evil, ¹⁵on account of the Son of Man!

23 ¹⁶Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for ¹⁷so their fathers did to the prophets.
