17. When Jesus had come down from the hill with the apostles, he stood on a level place with a large number of his disciples. A large crowd of people was there from all over Judea and from Jerusalem and from the coastal cities of Tyre and Sidon;
18. they had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those who were troubled by evil spirits also came and were healed.
19. All the people tried to touch him, for power was going out from him and healing them all.
20. Jesus looked at his disciples and said, “Happy are you poor; the Kingdom of God is yours!
21. Happy are you who are hungry now; you will be filled! Happy are you who weep now; you will laugh!
