  ³Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

  ⁴even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and without defect before him in love,

  ⁵having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

  ⁶to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely gave us favor in the Beloved,

  ⁷in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,

  ⁸which he made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence,

  ⁹making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he purposed in him

  ¹²In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.

  ¹³When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:

  ¹⁴Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;

  ¹⁵Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot;

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

  ¹⁷He 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;

  ¹⁸as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed.

  ¹⁹All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.
