20And he, having lifted up his eyes to his disciples, said: `Happy the poor -- because yours is the reign of God.
21`Happy those hungering now -- because ye shall be filled. `Happy those weeping now -- because ye shall laugh.
22`Happy are ye when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you, and shall reproach, and shall cast forth your name as evil, for the Son of Man`s sake --
23rejoice in that day, and leap, for lo, your reward [is] great in the heaven, for according to these things were their fathers doing to the prophets.
24`But wo to you -- the rich, because ye have got your comfort.
25`Wo to you who have been filled -- because ye shall hunger. `Wo to you who are laughing now -- because ye shall mourn and weep.
26`Wo to you when all men shall speak well of you -- for according to these things were their fathers doing to false prophets.
