The four Beatitudes in {{bibleverse |Luke|6:20–22|NIV}} are set within the [[Sermon on the Plain]].
{{poemquote|
<sup>20</sup>Looking at his disciples, he said:

"Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.
<sup>21</sup>Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
<sup>22</sup>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.}}
{{bibleverse |Luke|6:23|NIV}} ("Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, because great is your reward in heaven. For that is how their ancestors treated the prophets.") appears to parallel the text in Matthew 5:11–12.

<sup>24</sup>"But woe to you who are rich,
for you have already received your comfort.
<sup>25</sup>Woe to you who are well fed now,
for you will go hungry.
Woe to you who laugh now,
for you will mourn and weep.
<sup>26</sup>Woe to you when everyone speaks well of you,
for that is how their ancestors treated the false prophets.}}
These woes are distinct from the ''[[Woes of the Pharisees|Seven Woes of the Pharisees]]'' which appear later in {{Bibleverse |Luke|11:37–54}}.
