Luke 6:11-21

11 And they were filled with madness and talked one with another about what they might do to Jesus.

12 And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray and continued all night in prayer to God.

13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples; and of them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

14 Simon (whom he also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,

15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon called Zelotes

16 and Judas the brother of James and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.

17 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, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;

18 and those that were tormented with unclean spirits were healed.

19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him, for there went virtue out of him and healed them all.

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples and said, Blessed are the poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

21 Blessed are those that hunger now, for ye shall be filled. Blessed are those that weep now, for ye shall laugh.
