Luke 6:24

Luke 6:24

22 ^aBlessed are you when men hate you,
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.

Jesus Pronounces Woes

24 “But^a woe to you ^bwho are rich,
For ^cyou have received your consolation.

25 ^aWoe to you who are full,
For you shall hunger.
^bWoe to you who laugh now,
For you shall mourn and ^cweep.

26 ^aWoe¹ to you when all men speak well of you,
For so did their fathers to the false prophets.

Love Your Enemies

27 ^a“But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,

28 ^abless those who curse you, and ^bpray for those who spitefully use you.

<< Luke 6:23

Luke 6:25 >>

But woe unto you that are rich (Plhn ouai umin toiv plousioiv). Sharp contrast (plhn). As a matter of fact the rich Pharisees and Sadducees were the chief opposers of Christ as of the early disciples later (James 5:1-6).

Ye have received (apexete). Receipt in full apexw means as the papyri show.

Consolation (paraklhsin). From parakalew, to call to one's side, to encourage, to help, to cheer.
