17Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
18They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
19The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
21Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be filled.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
22Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
23Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
24But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
— Luke 6:17-24
