Luke Chapter 6 Verse 12And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days?

And Jesus answering them said, ‹Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;›

‹How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?›

And he said unto them, ‹That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.›

And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.

But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, ‹Rise up, and stand forth in the midst.› And he arose and stood forth.

Then said Jesus unto them, ‹I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy› [it]?

And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, ‹Stretch forth thy hand.› And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

And when it was day, he called [unto him] his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,

And Judas [the brother] of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

And they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed.

And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed [them] all.

And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, ‹Blessed› [be ye] ‹poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.›

‹Blessed› [are ye] ‹that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed› [are ye] ‹that weep now: for ye shall laugh.›

‹Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you› [from their company], ‹and shall reproach› [you], ‹and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.›
