Umakyat si Jesus sa bundok para manalangin at magpalipas ng magdamag sa pagdarasal sa Diyos. Nang nag-umaga na tinawag niya ang kanyang mga alagad at pumili siya ng labindalawa sa kanila na tinawag niyang apostol: Si Simon na pinangalanan niyang Pedro, si Andres na kapatid nito: si Jaime, si Juan, si Felipe, si Bartolome, si Mateo, si Tomas, si Jaimeng anak ni Alfeo, si Simon na tinataguriang Zelota, si Judas na kamag-anak ni Jaime, at si Judas Iskariote na naging tagapagkanulo.

Umakyat si Jesus sa bundok para manalangin at magpalipas ng magdamag sa pagdarasal sa Diyos. Nang umaga na, tinawag niya ang kanyang mga alagad at pumili siya ng labindalawa sa kanila na tinawag niyang apostol: si Simon na pinangalanan niyang Pedro, si Andres na kapatid nito; si Jaime, si Juan, si Felipe, si Bartolome, si Mateo, si Tomas, si Jaimeng anak ni Alfeo, si Simon na tinaguriang Zelota, si Judas na kamag-anak ni Jaime, at si Judas Iskariote na naging tagapagkanulo. Pagkababa kasama nila, tumigil si Jesus sa isang patag na lugar. Naroon ang maraming alagad niya, at napakarami ring tao mula sa buong Judea at Jerusalem at mula sa baybaying dako ng Tiro at Sidon ang dumating para makinig sa kanya at mapagaling sa kanilang mga karamdaman. Gumaling din ang mga pinahihirapan ng masasamang espiritu. Kaya’t sinikap ng lahat ng tao na mahipo siya dahil may kapangyarihang lumalabas sa kanya, na nagpapagaling sa lahat.
