But he warned them strictly not to make him known.
13
Then he went up into the hill country and summoned to himself those he wanted, and they came to him.
14
He appointed twelve to be with him, to be sent out to preach
15
and to have authority to expel demons:
16
Shim`on, to whom he gave another name, "Kefa";
17
Ya`akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan, Ya`akov's brother -- to them he gave the name "B'nei-Regesh" (that is, "Thunderers");
18
Andrew, Philip, Bar-Talmai, Mattityahu, T'oma, Ya`akov Ben-Halfai, Taddai, Shim`on the Zealot,
19
and Y'hudah from K'riot, the one who betrayed him. Then he entered a house;
20
and once more, such a crowd came together that they couldn't even eat.
21
When his family heard about this, they set out to take charge of him; for they said, "He's out of his mind!"
22
The Torah-teachers who came down from Yerushalayim said, "He has Ba`alZibbul in him," and "It is by the ruler of the demons that he expels the demons."
