Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

And his mother and his brothers came. And they stood outside the house and sent word in to him to come outside to them.

So his brothers said to him, "You ought to leave here and go to Judea, to let your disciples also see the things you are doing.

Many of them said, "He is possessed and mad! Why do you listen to him?"

As he said this in his defense, Festus called out, "You are raving, Paul! Your great learning is driving you mad!"

For if I was out of my senses, as they say, it was between God and me; and if I am in my right mind, it is for your good.

Send the people off to the farms and villages around to buy themselves something to eat."

His mother and his brothers came to him, but they could not get near him, on account of the crowd.

For even his brothers did not believe in him.
