10. He looked around at them all, and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He did, and his hand was restored as sound as the other.

12. In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13. When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
14. Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15. Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;
16. Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
17. He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases;
18. as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.
