Mark 3:6-21
-
6 And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him.
-
7 But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea,
-
8 And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.
-
9 And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
-
10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
-
11 And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.
-
12 And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
-
13 And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.
-
14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
-
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
-
16 And Simon he surnamed Peter;
-
17 And James the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James; and he surnamed them Boanerges, which is, The 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 Canaanite,
-
19 And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
-
20 And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread.
-
21 And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.
