17. He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
18. as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

20. He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said, “Blessed are you who are poor, God’s Kingdom is yours.
21. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
22. Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man’s sake.
23. Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.
24. “But woe to you who are rich! For you have received your consolation.
25. Woe to you, you who are full now, for you will be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.
26. Woe, when men speak well of you, for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.
27. “But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28. bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you.
