Luke 6:19-21
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
19 And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, for healing power was all the while going forth from Him and curing them all [[a]saving them from severe illnesses or calamities].
20 And solemnly lifting up His eyes on His disciples, He said: Blessed (happy—[b]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and [c]to be envied) are you poor and [d]lowly and afflicted (destitute of wealth, influence, position, and honor), for the kingdom of God is yours!
21 Blessed (happy—[e]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and [f]to be envied) are you who hunger and seek with eager desire now, for you shall be filled and completely satisfied! Blessed (happy—[g]with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, apart from your outward condition—and [h]to be envied) are you who weep and sob now, for you shall laugh!
