Luke 6 : 12 - 23
Chapter 6
| 12 | Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
|
| 13 | And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from 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 the Zealot;
|
| 16 | Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
|
| 17 | And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,
|
| 18 | as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.
|
| 19 | And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
|
| 20 | Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: "Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God.
|
| 21 | Blessed are you who hunger now, For you shall be filled. Blessed are you who weep now, For you shall laugh.
|
| 22 | Blessed are you when men hate you, And when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man's sake.
|
| 23 | Rejoice in that day and leap for joy! For indeed your reward is great in heaven, For in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
