'Blessed are' in the Bible

And raising his eyes toward his disciples, he said, Blessed are ye poor; for yours is the kingdom of God.

Blessed are ye that hunger now; for ye will be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now; for ye will laugh.

Blessed are ye when men hate you, and when they exclude you, and revile and cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of man.

And turning to the disciples, he said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye are seeing.

For lo! the days are coming, in which they will say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never gave nourishment.
