Luke 6:3-16

³And Jesus answering them, said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was hungry, and they who were with him;

⁴How he went into the house of God, and took and ate the show-bread, and gave also to them that were with him, which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?

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

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

⁷And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, to see whether he would heal on the sabbath; that they might find an accusation against him.

⁸But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, Rise, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose, and stood forth.

⁹Then said Jesus to them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath-days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it ?

¹⁰And looking around upon them all, he said to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

¹¹And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

¹²And it came to pass in those days, that he went out to a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

¹³And when it was day, he called to him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named Apostles;

¹⁴Simon (whom he also named Peter) and Andrew his brother, James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew,

¹⁵Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon called Zelotes,

¹⁶And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, who also was the traitor.
