The Torah scroll is placed on the bima and the Gabbai calls a Kohen to the Torah. See laws 384-398.
Hebrew
וְתִגָּלֶה וְתֵרָאֶה מַלְכוּתוֹ עָלֵינוּ בְּזְמַן קָרוֹב, וְיָחֹן פְּלֵיטָתֵנוּ וּפְלֵיטַת עַמּוֹ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל
לְחֵן וּלְחֶסֶד וּלְרַחֲמִים וּלְרָצוֹן וְנֹאמַר אָמֵן. הַכֹּל הָבוּ גֹּדֶל לֵאלֹהֵינוּ וּתְנוּ כָבוֹד לַתּוֹרָה.
*כֹּהֵן קְרַב, יַעֲמֹד (פלוני בֶּן פלוני) הַכֹּהֵן.
Sephardi

May His kingship over us be soon revealed and made manifest. May He be gracious to our surviving remnant, the remnant of His people the house of Israel in grace, loving-kindness, compassion and favor, and let us say: Amen. Let us all render greatness to our God and give honor to the Torah. *Let the Kohen come forward. Arise (name son of father's name), the Kohen.
*If no Kohen is present, a Levi or Yisrael is called up as follows:
Hebrew
/אֵין כָּאן כֹּהֵן, יַעֲמֹד (פלוני בֶּן פלוני) בִּמְקוֹם כֹּהֵן./
Sephardi
Ein kan Kohen, ya'amod (ploni ben ploni) bimkom Kohen.

Congregation followed by the Gabbai:

The appropriate Torah portions are to be found from page 1126.
The Reader shows the oleh the section to be read. The oleh touches the scroll at that place with the tzitzit of his tallit, which he then kisses. Holding the handles of the scroll, he says:
Hebrew
עולה: בָּרְכוּ אֶת יהוה הַמְּבֹרָךְ.
קהל: בָּרוּךְ יהוה הַמְּבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.
עולה: בָּרוּךְ יהוה הַמְּבֹרָךְ לְעוֹלָם וָעֶד.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם,
אֲשֶׁר בָּחַר בָּנוּ מִכָּל הָעַמִּים וְנָתַן לָנוּ אֶת תּוֹרָתוֹ.
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה, נוֹתֵן הַתּוֹרָה.

Hebrew

אֲשֶׁר נָתַן לָנוּ תּוֹרַת אֱמֶת וְחַיֵּי עוֹלָם נָטַע בְּתוֹכֵנוּ.

One who has survived a situation of danger (see laws 399-400) says:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ מֶלֶךְ הָעוֹלָם הַגּוֹמֵל לְחַיָּבִים טוֹבוֹת

After a Bar Mitzva boy has finished the Torah blessing, his father says aloud:
Hebrew
בָּרוּךְ שֶׁפְּטָרַנִי מֵעָנְשׁוֹ שֶׁלָּזֶה.
Sephardi
Baruch shepetarani me'onsho shelazeh.
