And, he, lifting up his eyes towards his disciples, was saying: - Happy, ye destitute, for, yours, is the kingdom of God.

Happy, ye that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Happy, ye that weep now, for ye shall laugh.

Happy, are ye, whensoever men shall hate you, and whensoever they shall separate you, and reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man:

be rejoiced in that day, and leap, for lo! your reward, is great in heaven; for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the prophets.

But alas! for you, ye wealthy, for ye are duly receiving you consolation.

Alas! for you, ye who are filled full now, for ye shall hunger. Alas! ye that laugh now, for ye shall mourn and weep.

Alas! whensoever all men shall, speak well of you, for, according to the same things, were their fathers doing unto the false prophets.
