10
For He healed many, so that as many as had afflictions pressed about Him to touch Him.
11
And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried out, saying, "You are the Son of God."
12
But He sternly warned them that they should not make Him known.
13
And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him.
14
Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach,
15
and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
16
Simon, to whom He gave the name Peter;
17
James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, "Sons of Thunder";
18
Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite;
19
and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.
