And they that were vexedwithuncleanspirits:and they were healed.
19
And the wholemultitudesought to touchhim:for there wentvirtueout of him,andhealed them all.
20
Andhe lifted uphiseyesonhisdisciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor:foryoursis the kingdom of God.
21
Blessed are ye that hungernow:for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weepnow:for ye shall laugh.
22
