Poor people, you came to worship God. You will be happy to know these things.
Poor people, come eat and be satisfied. You who have come looking for the Lord, praise him! May your hearts be happy forever.
It is the same with you. Now you are sad, but I will see you again, and you will be happy. You will have a joy that no one can take away.
Humble people, listen and be happy, while I brag about the Lord.
He teaches his ways to humble people. He leads them with fairness.
As soon as he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. When the followers saw the Lord, they were very happy.
The people have eaten all they wanted and bowed down to worship him. Yes, everyone will bow down to him— all who are on the way to the grave, unable to hold on to life.
I don’t eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats.”
You made promises to God Most High, so give him what you promised. Bring your sacrifices and thank offerings.
