17And after coming down with them, he stood on a level place, and a large crowd of his disciples and a large multitude of the people from all of Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon.18These people had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases, and those who were troubled by unclean spirits were healed.19Moreover the whole crowd kept trying to touch him, because power was coming out from him and he was healing everyone.20Then he raised his eyes toward his disciples and said, "Blessed are the poor, for the kingdom of God is yours."21Blessed are those who hunger now, for you will be satisfied; blessed are those who weep now, for you will laugh.22Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you, insult you, and reject your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.23Rejoice on that day and leap for joy, because your reward is great 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.25Woe to you who are well fed now, for you will go hungry; woe to you who laugh now, for you will mourn and weep.26Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you, for their fathers treated the false prophets in the same way.
