10 After Jesus had healed many people, the other sick people begged him to let them touch him.
11 And whenever any evil spirits saw Jesus, they would fall to the ground and shout, “You are the Son of God!”
12 But Jesus warned the spirits not to tell who he was.
13 Jesus decided to ask some of his disciples to go up on a mountain with him, and they went.
14 Then he chose twelve of them to be his apostles, so that they could be with him. He also wanted to send them out to preach
15 and to force out demons.
16 Simon was one of the twelve, and Jesus named him Peter.
