For you shall be bfilled.
cBlessed are you who weep now,
For you shall dlaugh.

And when they bexclude you,
And revile you, and cast out your name as evil,
For the Son of Man’s sake. 
23 aRejoice in that day and leap for joy!
For indeed your reward is great in heaven,
For bin like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

Luke 6:21

Now (nun). Luke adds this adverb here and in the next sentence after "weep." This sharpens the contrast between present sufferings and the future blessings.

Filled (xortasqhsesqe). Future passive indicative. The same verb in Matthew 5:6. Originally it was used for giving fodder (xortov) to animals, but here it is spiritual fodder or food except in Luke 15:16; Luke 16:21. Luke here omits "and thirst after righteousness."

Weep (klaiontev). Audible weeping. Where Matthew 5:4 has "mourn" (penqountev).

Shall laugh (gelasete). Here Matthew 5:4 has "shall be comforted." Luke's words are terse.
