# Connecting Statement:
|
|
|
|
Jesus finishes describing the characteristics of people who are blessed.
|
|
|
|
# Blessed are you
|
|
|
|
The word "you" is plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-you]])
|
|
|
|
# say all kinds of evil things against you falsely
|
|
|
|
"say all kinds of evil lies about you" or "say bad things about you that are not true"
|
|
|
|
# for my sake
|
|
|
|
"because you follow me" or because you believe in me"
|
|
|
|
# Rejoice and be very glad
|
|
|
|
"Rejoice" and "be very glad" mean almost the same thing. Jesus wanted his hearers not merely to rejoice but to do even more than rejoice if possible. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
