Gospel: Luke 6:17, 20-26

17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

20 He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said,
"Blessed are you who are poor,
God's Kingdom is yours.

21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be filled.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.

22 Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall exclude and mock you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.

23 Rejoice in that day, and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for their fathers did the same thing to the prophets.

24 "But woe to you who are rich!
For you have received your consolation.

25 Woe to you, you who are full now,
for you will be hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.

26 Woe,* when† men speak well of you,
for their fathers did the same thing to the false prophets.


*6:26: TR adds "to you"

†6:26: TR adds "all"

Jeremiah 17:5-8

5 the LORD says:
"Cursed is the man who trusts in man,
and makes flesh his arm,
and whose heart departs from the LORD.

6 For he shall be like a bush in the desert,
and shall not see when good comes,
but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness,
a salt land and not inhabited.

7 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD,
and whose confidence is in the LORD.

8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters,
who spreads out its roots by the river,
and shall not fear when heat comes,
but its leaf shall be green;
and shall not be careful in the year of drought,
neither shall cease from yielding fruit.

1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20

12 Now if Christ is preached, that he has been raised from the dead, how do some amongst you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

16 For if the dead aren't raised, neither has Christ been raised.

17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is vain; you are still in your sins.

18 Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished.

19 If we have only hoped in Christ in this life, we are of all men most pitiable.

20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead. He became the first fruits of those who are asleep.
