Mark 3:12-22

12 And He ¹earnestly warned them not to tell who He was.

The Twelve Are Chosen

13 And He went up on ²the mountain and ³summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

14 And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach,

15 and to have authority to cast out the demons.

16 And He appointed the twelve: ⁴Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter ),

17 and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, "Sons of Thunder ");

18 and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Him.

20 And He came ⁵home, and the ⁶crowd gathered again, ⁷to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal.

21 When ⁸His own people heard of this, they went out to take custody of Him; for they were saying, "⁹He has lost His senses."

22 The scribes who came down ¹⁰from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by ¹¹Beelzebul," and "¹²He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."
