Luke 6:3-16

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 God 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.

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 God.

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,

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

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