21 And when his friends had news of it, they went out to get him, saying, He is off his head.

And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?
So his brothers said to him, Go away from here into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works which you do. Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men. For even his brothers had no belief in him.

For if we are foolish, it is to God; or if we are serious, it is for you.
The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, to be an overseer in the house of the Lord for every man who is off his head and is acting as a prophet, to put such men in prison and in chains.
