Jesus
looked at his disciples and said,
"Happy
are you poor; the Kingdom
of
God is yours!
"Happy
are you who are hungry
now;
you will be filled!
"Happy
are you who weep now;
you
will laugh!
"Happy
are you when people hate
you,
reject you, insult you, and say
that
you are evil, all because of
the
Son of Man! Be glad when
that
happens and dance for joy,
because
a great reward is kept
for
you in heaven.
For
their ancestors did the very same
things
to the prophets.
