Luke 6:20-23

The Beatitudes

20 And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, "¹Blessed are you who are poor, for ²yours 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 "³Blessed are you when men hate you, and ⁴ostracize 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 ⁵leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For ⁶in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.
