Luke 6:1-19

1And it came to pass on [the] second-first sabbath, that he went through cornfields, and his disciples were plucking the ears and eating [them], rubbing [them] in their hands.

2But some of the Pharisees said to them, Why do ye what is not lawful to do on the sabbath?

3And Jesus answering said to them, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did when he hungered, he and those who were with him,

4how he entered into the house of 1God and took the shewbread and ate, and gave to those also who were with him, which it is not lawful that [any] eat, unless the priests alone?

5And he said to them, The Son of man is Lord of the sabbath also.

6And it came to pass on another sabbath also that he entered into the synagogue and taught; and there was a man there, and his right hand was withered.

7And the scribes and the Pharisees were watching if he would heal on the sabbath, that they might find something of which to accuse him.

8But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Get up, and stand in the midst. And having risen up he stood [there].

9Jesus therefore said to them, I will ask you if it is lawful on the sabbath to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy [it]?

10And having looked around on them all, he said to him, Stretch out thy hand. And he did [so] and his hand was restored as the other.

11But they were filled with madness, and they spoke together among themselves what they should do to Jesus.

12And it came to pass in those days that he went out into the mountain to pray, and he spent the night in prayer to 2God.

13And when it was day he called his disciples, and having chosen out twelve from them, whom also he named apostles:

14Simon, to whom also he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew his brother, [and] James and John, [and] Philip and Bartholomew,

15[and] Matthew and Thomas, James the [son] of Alphaeus and Simon who was called Zealot,

16[and] Judas [brother] of James, and Judas Iscariote, who was also [his] betrayer;

17and having descended with them, he stood on a level place, and a crowd of his disciples, and a great multitude 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;

18and those that were beset by unclean spirits were healed.

19And all the crowd sought to touch him, for power went out from him and healed all.
