Luke 6:15-25

15 Matthew and Thomas, James of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

16 Judas of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also became betrayer;)

17 and having come down with them, he stood upon a level spot, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea, and Jerusalem, and the maritime Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their sicknesses,

18 and those harassed by unclean spirits, and they were healed,

19 and all the multitude were seeking to touch him, because power from him was going forth, and he was healing all.

20 And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor -- because yours is the reign of God.

21 `Happy those hungering now -- because ye shall be filled. `Happy those weeping now -- because ye shall laugh.

22 `Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake --

23 rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward [is] great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.

24 `But wo to you -- the rich, because ye have got your comfort.

25 `Wo to you who have been filled -- because ye shall hunger. `Wo to you who are laughing now -- because ye shall mourn and weep.
