Luke 6:12-16

The Lord of the Sabbath Forms a Kingdom People

Luke moves from Sabbath controversy to apostolic formation, from healing power to kingdom teaching, and from blessing and enemy-love to the demand for obedient foundations under Jesus' word.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

12 In those days Jesus went out to the mountain to pray, and He spent the night in prayer to God.

13 When daylight came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also designated as apostles:

14 Simon, whom He named Peter, and his brother Andrew; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15 Matthew and Thomas; James son of Alphaeus and Simon called the Zealot;

16 Judas son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.
