Luke 6:10-20

10 He looked around at them all; then he said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He did so, and his hand became well again.
11 They were filled with rage and began to discuss among themselves what they could do to Jesus.
12 At that time Jesus went up a hill to pray and spent the whole night there praying to God.
13 When day came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he named apostles:
14 Simon (whom he named Peter) and his brother Andrew; James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, and Simon (who was called the Patriot),
16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became the traitor.
17 When Jesus had come down from the hill with the apostles, he stood on a level place with a large number of his disciples. A large crowd of people was there from all over Judea and from Jerusalem and from the coast cities of Tyre and Sidon;
18 they had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those who were troubled by evil spirits also came and were healed.
19 All the people tried to touch him, for power was going out from him and healing them all.
20 Jesus looked at his disciples and said, "Happy are you poor; the Kingdom of God is yours!
