6:17 He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coast of Tyre and Sidon.

6:18 They  had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

6:19 And all in the crowd were trying to touch him, for power came out from him and healed all of them.

6:20 Then he looked up at his disciples and said:  Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

6:21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

6:22 Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you and defame you on account of the Son of Man.

6:23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets.

6:24 But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation.

6:25 Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry.  Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep.
