Listen to Lukas 6:21

Lukas 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).

Lukas 6:21 In-Context

19 En al de schare zocht Hem aan te raken; want er ging kracht van Hem uit, en Hij genas ze allen.
20 En Hij, Zijn ogen opslaande over Zijn discipelen, zeide: Zalig zijt gij, armen, want uwer is het Koninkrijk Gods.
21 Zalig zijt gij, die nu hongert; want gij zult verzadigd worden. Zalig zijt gij, die nu weent; want gij zult lachen.
22 Zalig zijt gij, wanneer u de mensen haten, en wanneer zij u afscheiden, en smaden, en uw naam als kwaad verwerpen, om des Zoons des mensen wil.
23 Verblijdt u in dien dag, en zijt vrolijk; want, ziet, uw loon is groot in den hemel; want hun vaders deden desgelijks den profeten.
