Luke 6:20-23

The Beatitudes

20 And ¹he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, ²and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for ³yours is the kingdom of God.

21 ⁴“Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. ⁵“Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.

22 “Blessed are you when ⁶people hate you and when they ⁷exclude you and revile you and ⁸spurn your name as evil, ⁹on account of the Son of Man!

23 ¹⁰Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven; for ¹¹so their fathers did to the prophets.
