Luke 6:21

Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"Blessed [are] ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed [are] ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh." — Luke 6:21 (ASV)

That hunger now. Matthew has it, "that hunger and thirst after righteousness." Matthew has expressed more fully what Luke has briefly, but there is no contradiction.
