"But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation." — Luke 6:24 (ASV)
But woe unto you that are rich (Πλην ουα υμιν τοις πλουσιοις). Sharp contrast (πλην). As a matter of fact the rich Pharisees and Sadducees were the chief opposers of Christ as of the early disciples later (James 5:1–6).
Ye have received (απεχετε). Receipt in full απεχω means as the papyri show.
Consolation (παρακλησιν). From παρακαλεω, to call to one's side, to encourage, to help, to cheer.
