Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
¡Alégrense y regocíjense! Porque grande es su recompensa en los cielos, pues así persiguieron a los profetas que vinieron antes de ustedes.
Los seguidores de Jesús pueden alegrarse en medio de la persecución porque tienen una gran recompensa esperándolos en el cielo.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus was addressing his disciples and the crowds in first-century Israel, where Roman occupation and religious opposition created a climate of potential persecution for those following God's ways. This verse is part of the Beatitudes, where Jesus encourages believers to rejoice in the face of trials, drawing a parallel to how the Old Testament prophets like Jeremiah and Elijah were often mocked, imprisoned, or killed for proclaiming God's truth. By referencing these prophets, Jesus reassures his followers that enduring such hardships places them in a noble lineage of faithfulness.
