And 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 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.›
