The Beatitudes

20 ^dAnd he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said:

“Blessed are you who are ^epoor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

22 And he answered them, “Go and tell John ^swhat you have seen and heard: ^tthe blind receive their sight, the ^ulame walk, lepers¹ are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the ^vdead are raised up, the ^wpoor have good news preached to them.

13 But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,

21 So the servant came and reported these things to his master. Then the master of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly to the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor and crippled and blind and lame.’

20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores,

22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side.¹ The rich man also died and was buried,

22 When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing you still lack. ^mSell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, ⁿfollow me.”

8 And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, “Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I ^dgive to the poor. And if I have ^edefrauded anyone of anything, I restore it fourfold.”
