Mark 3:13
11 And when the unclean spirits saw Him, they fell down before Him and cried out, “You are the Son of God!”
12 But He warned them sternly not to make Him known.
Then Jesus went up on the mountain and called for those He wanted, and they came to Him.
14 He appointed twelve of them, whom He designated as apostles, to accompany Him, to be sent out to preach,
15 and to have authority to drive out demons.
