Luke 6:22
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.
Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you and insult you and reject your name as evil because of the Son of Man.
23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For their fathers treated the prophets in the same way.
24 But woe to you who are rich, for you have already received your comfort.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
