Luke 6:12-19
Chapter 6
12
Jesus went out into the hills to pray, spending the whole night in prayer with God.
13
When day arrived, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he called ‘apostles’:
14
Simon, whom he named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
15
Matthew and Thomas; James, son of Alpheus, and Simon, called the Zealot;
16
Judas, son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who would later become the traitor.
17
Coming down the hill with them, Jesus stood in an open plain. Many of his disciples were there, along with a large crowd of people from all parts of Judea, Jerusalem, and the coastal cities of Tyre and Sidon.
18
They gathered to listen to him and to be healed of their diseases. And those troubled by unclean spirits were healed.
19
The entire crowd tried to touch him because of the power that flowed from him and healed everyone.
