After Choosing The Twelve, Jesus Stands Before a Huge Crowd To Teach Them

¹² And it came about during these days that He went out to the mountain to pray. And He was spending the night in prayer to God. ¹³ And when it became day, He called to His disciples. And having chosen twelve from them, whom He also named apostles— ¹⁴ Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James, and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, ¹⁵ and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, the one being called a Zealot, ¹⁶ and Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor— ¹⁷ and having come down with them, He stood on a level place. And there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great multitude of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal-region of Tyre and Sidon, ¹⁸ who came to hear Him and to be healed from their diseases. And the ones being troubled by unclean spirits were being cured. ¹⁹ And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him because power was going forth from Him and healing everyone.
