1. Many thousands of people had gathered. There were so many people that they were stepping on each other. Before Jesus spoke to them, he said to his followers, “Be careful of the yeast of the Pharisees. They are hypocrites.
2. Everything that is hidden will be shown. Everything that is secret will be made known.
3. The things you say in the dark will be told in the light. The things you have whispered in an inner room will be shouted from the top of the house.”
4. Then Jesus said to the people, “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of people. People can kill the body, but after that they can do nothing more to hurt you.
5. I will show you the One to fear. You should fear him who has the power to kill you and also to throw you into hell. Yes, he is the One you should fear.
6. “When five sparrows are sold, they cost only two pennies. But God does not forget any of them.
