"Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
when they exclude you and insult you
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.
Rejoice in that day and leap for joy,
because great is your reward in heaven.
For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets."
