Happy those hungering now, because ye shall be filled. 'Happy those weeping now, because ye shall laugh.

"Blessed are you who hunger now, because your hunger shall be satisfied. "Blessed are you who now weep aloud, because you shall laugh.

Happy are you who are in need of food now: for you will be made full. Happy are you who are weeping now; for you will be glad.

Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who are weeping now, for you shall laugh.

Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh.

That hunger now - Matthew has it, "that hunger and thirst after righteousness." Matthew has expressed more fully what Luke has briefly, but there is no contradiction.

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.

laugh--How charming is the liveliness of this word, to express what in Matthew is called being "comforted!"
