12 In these days ¹he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God.

13 And when day came, ²he called his disciples ³and ⁴chose from them twelve, whom he named ⁵apostles:

14 Simon, ⁶whom he named Peter, and ⁷Andrew his brother, and ⁸James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew,

15 and ⁹Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called ¹⁰the Zealot,

16 and ¹¹Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Jesus Ministers to a Great Multitude

17 And ¹²he came down with them and stood on a level place, with ¹³a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the seacoast of ¹⁴Tyre and Sidon,

18 who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. ¹⁵And those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.

19 And all the crowd ¹⁶sought to touch him, for ¹⁷power came out from him and healed them all.
