^21 (A)And when ^(B)his family heard it, they went out to seize him, for they were saying, “He ^(C)is out of his mind.”

²⁴ And as he was saying these things in his defense, Festus said with a loud voice, “Paul, ^(A)you are out of your mind; your great learning is driving you out of your mind.”

²⁰ Many of them said, ^(A)“He has a demon, and ^(B)is insane; why listen to him?”

I am not^[b] going up to this feast, for ^(H)my time has not yet fully come.” ⁹ After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

¹⁰ But after ^(I)his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.

¹¹ When Jehu came out to the servants of his master, they said to him, ^(A)“Is all well? Why did ^(B)this mad fellow come to you?” And he said to them, “You know the fellow and his talk.”

²⁶ ‘The Lord has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to have ^(A)charge in the house of the Lord ^(B)over every madman who prophesies, to put him in ^(C)the stocks and neck irons.
