Sermon on the Mount, Carl Bloch, 1877,
The Museum of National History. [PD-US]
Jesus came down with
the Twelve
and stood on a stretch of level ground
with a great crowd of his disciples
and a large number of the people
from all Judea and Jerusalem
and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon.
And raising his eyes toward his disciples he said:
“Blessed
are you who are poor,
for
the kingdom of God is yours.
Blessed
are you who are now hungry,
for
you will be satisfied.
Blessed
are you who are now weeping,
for
you will laugh.
Blessed
are you when people hate you,
and
when they exclude and insult you,
and
denounce your name as evil
on
account of the Son of Man.
Rejoice and leap for joy on that day!
Behold, your reward will be great in heaven.
For their ancestors treated the prophets in the
same way.
But
woe to you who are rich,
for
you have received your consolation.
Woe
to you who are filled now,
for
you will be hungry.
Woe
to you who laugh now,
for
you will grieve and weep.
Woe
to you when all speak well of you,
for
their ancestors treated the false prophets in this way.”
Luke 6:17, 20-26
