Mark 3:18-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

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."

22. Some teachers of the law were there. They had come down from Jerusalem. They said, "He is controlled by Beelzebub! He is driving out demons by the power of the prince of demons."
