18 Y los que habían sido atormentados de espíritus inmundos: y estaban curados.

19 Y toda la gente procuraba tocarle; porque salía de él virtud, y sanaba á todos.

20 Y alzando él los ojos á sus discípulos, decía: Bienaventurados [vosotros] los pobres; porque vuestro es el reino de Dios.

21 Bienaventurados los que ahora tenéis hambre; porque seréis saciados. Bienaventurados los que ahora lloráis, porque reiréis.

22 Bienaventurados seréis, cuando los hombres os aborrecieren, y cuando os apartaren de sí, y os denostaren, y desecharen vuestro nombre como malo, por el Hijo del hombre.
