Luke 6:6-16

English Standard Version

A Man with a Withered Hand

⁶ On another Sabbath, ^(A)he entered the synagogue ^(B)and was teaching, and a man was there whose right hand was withered. ⁷ And the scribes and the Pharisees ^(C)watched him, to see whether he would heal on the Sabbath, ^(D)so that they might find a reason to accuse him. ⁸ But ^(E)he knew their thoughts, and he said to the man with the withered hand, “Come and stand here.” And he rose and stood there. ⁹ And Jesus said to them, “I ask you, ^(F)is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do harm, to save life or to destroy it?” ¹⁰ And ^(G)after looking around at them all he said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” And ^(H)he did so, and his hand was restored. ¹¹ But they were filled with ^(I)fury and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.

The Twelve Apostles

¹² In these days ^(J)he went out to the mountain to pray, and all night he continued in prayer to God. ¹³ And when day came, ^(K)he called his disciples ^(L)and ^(M)chose from them twelve, whom he named ^(N)apostles: ¹⁴ Simon, ^(O)whom he named Peter, and ^(P)Andrew his brother, and ^(Q)James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ and ^(R)Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called ^(S)the Zealot, ¹⁶ and ^(T)Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
