Mark 3:15-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

15. And he gave them authority to cure infirmities, and to cast out demons:

16. and he imposed on Simon the name Peter;

17. and also he imposed on James of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, the name 'Boanerges,' that is, 'Sons of Thunder;'

18. and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus, and Simon the Canaanite,

19. and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

20. And they went to a house, and the crowd gathered together again, so much so that they were not even able to eat bread.

21. And when his own had heard of it, they went out to take hold of him. For they said: "Because he has gone mad."

22. And the scribes who had descended from Jerusalem said, "Because he has Beelzebub, and because by the prince of demons does he cast out demons."
