'Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.' The final beatitude extends the blessing on the persecuted by connecting them to the prophets — those identified throughout the Old Testament as faithful bearers of the divine word who suffered for it. The call to 'rejoice and be exceeding glad' in the context of persecution is paradoxical and counter-cultural, grounded not in present circumstances but in eschatological reward and solidarity with the prophetic tradition. Acts 5:41 — the disciples rejoicing 'that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name' — narrates the early church living this beatitude.
