And hearing about this his relatives ("the ones") went forth to take control of him for they said “He is beside himself.” And the scribes from Jerusalem, coming down said, “He is possessed by Beelzebub (the devil). It is by the power of the ruler of demons that he expels demons."

"Who is my mother and brothers?" And looking round at those about him in a sitting in a circle he says “Behold my mother and my brothers. Whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother."
