Matthew 5:11
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Study Note
This beatitude, uniquely elaborated in the second person ('ye') and expanded beyond all others, turns persecution for Christ's name into a mark of divine favour. The phrase 'falsely' in many manuscripts guards against romantic glorification of genuine fault — only slander for righteousness' sake carries the promised reward. The comparison to the prophets ('so persecuted they the prophets before you') situates the disciples within Israel's long tradition of rejected messengers, granting their suffering historical legitimacy. 1 Peter 4:14 develops the same logic: the Spirit of glory rests on those who bear reproach for Christ's name, transforming social humiliation into pneumatological honour.
