Luke 6:12-22

12 It happened in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

13 When it was day, he called his talmidim, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

14 Shim`on, whom he also named Kefa; Andrai, his brother; Ya`akov; Yochanan; Pilipos; Bar-Talmai;

15 Mattityahu; T'oma; Ya`akov, the son of Halfai; Shim`on, who was called the Zealot;

16 Yehudah the son of Ya`akov; and Yehudah from K'riot, who also became a traitor.

17 He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his talmidim, and a great number of the people from all Yehudah and Yerushalayim, and the sea coast of Tzor and Tzidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;

18 also those who were troubled with unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

19 All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came forth from him, and healed them all.

20 He lifted up his eyes to his talmidim, and said, "Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.

21 Blessed are you who hunger now, For you will be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you will laugh.

22 Blessed are you when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from them and reproach you, and throw out your name as evil, for the Son of Man's sake.
