Luke 6:21

Blessed are ye that hunger now ,.... Not only suffer hunger and thirst in a literal sense, in this present life, but who have hunger and thirst in a spiritual sense, after righteousness and eternal life, as in Matthew 5:6 where it is also said as here:

for ye shall be filled : with righteousness and life; See Gill on Matthew 5:6 .

blessed are ye that weep now ; under afflictions and pressures of life, and mourn for sin, their own, and others:

for ye shall laugh ; be filled with spiritual joy and pleasure, and be comforted with the consolations of the Spirit; See Gill on Matthew 5:4 .
