07/06 - GospeL Verses
12 - In those days Jesus went to the mountain to pray, and continued in prayer all night. 13 When day came, he called his disciples and chose twelve, whom he named apostles - 14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew; 15 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot; 16 Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17 And he came down and stood on a flat place with them, and with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, 18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those troubled with oppressive spirits were cured. 19 And all the people sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
20 And he looked out upon the crowd, and said:
“Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. 22 Blessed are you when people hate you, when they exclude you, insult you and spurn your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man! 23 Rejoice at those times, and leap for joy. For behold, your reward is great in heaven. And so was it done to the prophets.
24 But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your solace. 25 Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh {in supposed victory} now, for you shall mourn and weep. 26 Woe to you, when all people speak well of you. For so they did to the false prophets. 27 But I say to you who hear - Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you. 28 Bless those who curse you. Pray for those who abuse you. 29 If someone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other as well. And from one who takes away your cloak don’t withhold your tunic. 30 Give to everyone who asks from you, and from one who takes away your goods, don’t demand them back.”
