17 And he came down with them, and stood qin the plain, and the company of his disciples, and ra great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of sTyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18 And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude tsought to touch him: for there went uvirtue out of him, and healed them all.

20 And xhe lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said,

yBlessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled.

Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they zshall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man’s sake. 23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap afor joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.
