Mark 3:20

18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot,

19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.

Then Jesus went home, and once again a crowd gathered, so that He and His disciples could not even eat.

21 When His family heard about this, they went out to take custody of Him, saying, “He is out of His mind.”

22 And the scribes who had come down from Jerusalem were saying, “He is possessed by Beelzebul,” and, “By the prince of the demons He drives out demons.”
