New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Luke 6
¹⁰ After looking around at them all, He said to him, "Stretch out your hand!" And he did so; and his hand was restored.
¹¹ But they themselves were filled with rage, and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.
¹² It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.
¹³ And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as 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; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;
¹⁶ Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
¹⁷ Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,
¹⁸ who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.
¹⁹ And all the people were trying to touch Him, for power was coming from Him and healing them all.
²⁰ And turning His gaze toward His disciples, He began to say, "Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.
