Rabanus Maurus, on Matt 5:11

“Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:”

“The preceding blessings were general; He now begins to address His discourse to them that were present, foretelling them the persecutions which they should suffer for His name.”
