Luke 6:20–23

Happiness and Sorrow

(Matt 5:1–12)

20 Jesus looked at his disciples and said,

“Happy are you poor;

the Kingdom of God is yours!

21 Happy are you who are hungry now;

you will be filled!

Happy are you who weep now;

you will laugh!

22 *“Happy are you when people hate you, reject you, insult you, and say that you are evil, all because of the Son of Man! 23*Be glad when that happens, and dance for joy, because a great reward is kept for you in heaven. For their ancestors did the very same things to the prophets.
