9. And Jesus said to them, "I ask you, is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to destroy it?"
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.
