Luke 6:19
17 Then Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of His disciples was there, along with a great number of people from all over Judea, Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon.
18 They had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases, and those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.
20 Looking up at His disciples, Jesus said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.
