Luke 6:23

“Rejoice ye in that day, etc.] When they should be hated, discarded, reproached, and anathematized: and leap for joy; as if the greatest honour and happiness imaginable had been conferred on them; and as persons do, when in the greatest rapture: for behold, your reward is great in heaven, for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets; (See Gill on “<400512>Matthew 5:12”).”
