Matthew 5:11
Douay-Rheims
Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:
John Chrysostom
At the same time He signifies His equality in honour with His Father, as if He had said, As they suffered for my Father, so shall ye suffer for me. And in saying, The Prophets who were before you, He teaches that they themselves are already become Prophets.
