16. So Jesus appointed the Twelve. Simon was one of them. Jesus gave him the name Peter.
17. There were James, son of Zebedee, and his brother John. Jesus gave them the name Boanerges. Boanerges means Sons of Thunder.
18. There were also Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, and James, son of Alphaeus. And there were Thaddaeus and Simon the Zealot.
19. Judas Iscariot was one of them too. He was the one who was later going to hand Jesus over to his enemies.
20. Jesus entered a house. Again a crowd gathered. It was so large that Jesus and his disciples were not even able to eat.
21. His family heard about this. So they went to take charge of him. They said, "He is out of his mind."
