Luke 6:15-30

¹⁵And Matthew and Thomas and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was named the Zealot,

¹⁶And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him.

¹⁷And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases;

¹⁸And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were made well.

¹⁹And all the people were desiring to be touched by him, for power came from him and made them all well.

²⁰And turning his eyes to his disciples he said, Happy are you who are poor: for the kingdom of God is yours.

²¹Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad.

²²Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

²³Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.

²⁴But unhappy are you who have wealth: for you have been comforted now.

²⁵Unhappy are you who are full of food now: for you will be in need. Unhappy are you who are laughing now: for you will be crying in sorrow.

²⁶Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

²⁷But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,

²⁸Give blessing to those who give you curses, say prayers for those who are cruel to you.

²⁹If a man gives you a blow on one side of your face, then let the other side be turned to him; from him who takes away your coat, do not keep back your robe.

³⁰Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.
