Luke 6:15-25

15 and ¹Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;

16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

17 Jesus ²came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was ³a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of ⁴Tyre and Sidon,

18 who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.

19 And all the people were trying to ⁵touch Him, for ⁶power was coming from Him and healing them all.

The Beatitudes

20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, "⁷Blessed are you who are poor, for ⁸yours is the kingdom of God.

21 "Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

22 "⁹Blessed are you when men hate you, and ¹⁰ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

23 "Be glad in that day and ¹¹leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For ¹²in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

24 "But woe to ¹³you who are rich, for ¹⁴you are receiving your comfort in full.

25 "Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.
