006:013 When it was day, He called His disciples; and He selected
from among them twelve, whom He also named Apostles.
006:014 These were Simon, to whom also He had given the name of Peter,
and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
006:015 Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon
called the Zealot;
006:016 James's relative Judas, and Judas Iscariot who proved to
be a traitor.
006:017 With these He came down till He reached a level place, where there was a great crowd of His disciples, and a multitude of people from every part of Judaea, from Jerusalem, and from the sea-side district of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and to be cured of their diseases;
006:018 and those who were tormented by foul spirits were cured.
006:019 The whole crowd were eager to touch Him, because power went
forth from him and cured every one.
006:020 Then fixing His eyes upon His disciples, Jesus said to them,
"Blessed are you poor, because the Kingdom of God is yours.
006:021 "Blessed are you who hunger now, because your hunger shall
be satisfied. "Blessed are you who now weep aloud,
because you shall laugh.
006:022 "Blessed are you when men shall hate you and exclude you
from their society and insult you, and spurn your very names
as evil things, for the Son of Man's sake.
