Luke 6:8-23
English Standard Version
Chapter 6
8But he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, "Come and stand here." And he rose and stood there. 9And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?" 10And after looking around at them all he said to him, "Stretch out your hand." And he did so, and his hand was restored. 11But they were filled with fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
12In these days he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.
13And when day came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles:
14Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,
15and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
16and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
17And he came down with them and stood on a level place, with a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon,
18who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.
19And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power came out from him and healed them all.
