Mark 3:11-22 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. And whenever unclean spirits saw him they would fall down before him and shout, “You are the Son of God.”

12. He warned them sternly not to make him known.

13. He went up the mountain and summoned those whom he wanted and they came to him.

14. He appointed twelve [whom he also named apostles] that they might be with him and he might send them forth to preach

15. and to have authority to drive out demons:

16. [he appointed the twelve:] Simon, whom he named Peter;

17. James, son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James, whom he named Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder;

18. Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus; Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean,

19. and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.

20. He came home. Again [the] crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat.

21. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.”

22. The scribes who had come from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and “By the prince of demons he drives out demons.”
