Luke - ch 6 v 1 - 20
- Now it came to pass on a sabbath, that he was going through the grainfields; and his disciples plucked the ears, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands.
- But certain of the Pharisees said, Why do ye that which it is not lawful to do on the sabbath day?
- And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read even this, what David did, when he was hungry, he, and they that were with him;
- how he entered into the house of God, and took and ate the showbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat save for the priests alone?
- And he said unto them, The Son of man is lord of the sabbath.
- And it came to pass on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.
- And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find how to accuse him.
- But he knew their thoughts; and he said to the man that had his hand withered, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
- 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?
- 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.
- But they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
- 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.
- And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles:
- Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,
- and Matthew and Thomas, and James `the son' of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot,
- and Judas `the son' of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor;
- 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;
- and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed.
- And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed `them' all.
- And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed `are' ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
