There is no change from Matthew 5:10.
In Jesus’s Jerusalem, this Beatitude perhaps looked to the future. There would come a time when there would be persecution for his sake. Jesus declares that the persecution, while sad, is rewarded in heaven.
While persecutions were in the future for the incipient Christians in the past, persecutions were in the very recent past for many of those assembled in Bountiful. For them, this Beatitude was particularly personal.
