Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Luke 6
⁶ Now it happened on another Sabbath, also, that He entered the synagogue and taught. And a man was there whose right hand was withered.
⁷ So the scribes and Pharisees watched Him closely, whether He would heal on the Sabbath, that they might find an accusation against Him.
⁸ But He knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, "Arise and stand here." And he arose and stood.
⁹ Then Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one thing: Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to destroy?"
¹⁰ And when He had looked around at them all, He said to the man,
¹¹ But they were filled with rage, and discussed with one another what they might do to Jesus.
¹² Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
¹³ And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:
¹⁴ Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;
¹⁵ Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;
¹⁶ Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.
