11 But they were filled with ¹fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Twelve Apostles

12 In these days ²he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.

13 And when day came, ³he called his disciples ⁴and ⁵chose from them twelve, whom he named ⁶apostles:

14 Simon, ⁷whom he named Peter, and ⁸Andrew his brother, and ⁹James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

15 and ¹⁰Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called ¹¹the Zealot,

16 and ¹²Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Jesus Ministers to a Great Multitude

17 And ¹³he came down with them and stood on a level place, with ¹⁴a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of ¹⁵Tyre and Sidon,

18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. ¹⁶And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

19 And all the crowd ¹⁷sought to touch him, for ¹⁸power came out from him and healed them all.

The Beatitudes

21 ²²"Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. ²³"Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.
