Luke 6:16

Verse 16 of 49. The 6th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

12In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

13When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

14Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

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

16Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.

17He came down with them and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases,

18as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits; and they were being healed.

19All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.

20He lifted up his eyes to his disciples, and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for God’s Kingdom is yours.
