17. He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciplesand a great crowd of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,
18. including those who were vexed by unclean spirits. And they were healed.
19. The whole crowd tried to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
20. He lifted up His eyes on His disciples, and said: “Blessed are you poor,for yours is the kingdom of God.
21. Blessed are you who hunger now,for you shall be filled.Blessed are you who weep now,for you shall laugh.
22. Blessed are you when men hate you,and when they separate you from their company and insult you,and cast out your name as evil,on account of the Son of Man.
23. “Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for indeed, your reward is great in heaven. For in like manner their fathers treated the prophets.
24. “But woe to you who are rich,for you have received your consolation.
25. Woe to you who are filled,for you shall hunger.Woe to you who laugh now,for you shall mourn and weep.
26. Woe to you, when all men speak well of you,for so their fathers spoke of the false prophets.
27. “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28. bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
