17. Then Yeshua came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples and a multitude of people, from all Judea, Jerusalem, and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,
18. had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases. Even those disturbed by defiling spirits were being healed.
19. Everyone in the crowd was trying to touch Him, because power flowed from Him and He was healing them all.
20. And looking up at His disciples, He said, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21. Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
22. Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile you, and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of Man.
23. Rejoice in that day and jump for joy! For behold, your reward is great in heaven! For their fathers used to treat the prophets the same way.”
24. But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.
25. Woe to you who are full, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who are laughing now, for you shall mourn and weep.
26. Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets the same way.”
