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 men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

²³"Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets."
