9
And Jesus said unto them,
I ask you, Is it lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do harm? to save a life, or to destroy it?
10
And he looked round about on them all, and said unto him,
Stretch forth thy hand. And he did [so]: and his hand was restored.
11
But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12
And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13
And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:
14
Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
15
and Matthew and Thomas, and James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
16
and Judas [the son] of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;
17
and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judaea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases;
18
and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.
19
And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed [them] all.
