Luca 6:21

Listen to Luca 6:21
21 Beati voi, che ora avete fame, perciocchè sarete saziati. Beati voi, che ora piangete, perciocchè voi riderete.

Luca 6:21 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 6:21

Blessed are ye that hunger now
Not only suffer hunger and thirst in a literal sense, in this present life, but who have hunger and thirst in a spiritual sense, after righteousness and eternal life, as in ( Matthew 5:6 ) where it is also said as here:

for ye shall be filled:
with righteousness and life; (See Gill on Matthew 5:6).

blessed are ye that weep now;
under afflictions and pressures of life, and mourn for sin, their own, and others:

for ye shall laugh;
be filled with spiritual joy and pleasure, and be comforted with the consolations of the Spirit; (See Gill on Matthew 5:4).

Luca 6:21 In-Context

19 E tutta la moltitudine cercava di toccarlo, perciocchè virtù usciva di lui, e li sanava tutti.
20 Ed egli, alzati gli occhi verso i suoi discepoli, diceva: Beati voi, poveri, perciocchè il regno di Dio è vostro.
21 Beati voi, che ora avete fame, perciocchè sarete saziati. Beati voi, che ora piangete, perciocchè voi riderete.
22 Voi sarete beati, quando gli uomini vi avranno odiati, e vi avranno scomunicati, e vituperati, ed avranno bandito il vostro nome, come malvagio, per cagion del Figliuol dell’uomo.
23 Rallegratevi, e saltate di letizia in quel giorno; perciocchè, ecco, il vostro premio è grande nei cieli; poichè il simigliante fecero i padri loro a’ profeti.
