The Beatitudes

²⁰And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, “^aBlessed are the poor, for ^byours is the kingdom of God.

²¹Blessed are those who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are those who cry now, for you shall laugh. ²²^aBlessed are you when men hate you, and ^bexclude you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

²³“Be glad in that day and ^aleap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For ^btheir fathers were doing the same things to the prophets.

Jesus Pronounces Woes

²⁴“But woe to ^ayou who are rich, for ^byou are receiving your comfort in full. ²⁵Woe to you who ¹are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and cry. ²⁶Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers were doing the same things to the ^afalse prophets.
