And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

¹⁸

as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

¹⁹

And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

²⁰

Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.

²¹

Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.

²²

Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake.

²³

Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.
