  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.

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

- Epistle

  Ephesians 5:33–6:9

  **Show the text**

  33 Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

  1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

  2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with a promise:

  3 “that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth.”

  4 You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

  5 Servants, be obedient to those who according to the flesh are your masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as to Christ,

  6 not in the way of service only when eyes are on you, as men pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

  7 with good will doing service as to the Lord, and not to men,

  8 knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.

  9 You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.
