18. and ye shall even be brought before princes and kings for my sake, for testimony unto them and to the Gentiles.
19. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21. And brother shall deliver up brother unto death, and the father the child, and children shall rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name, but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
23. But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another, for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.
24. The disciple is not above his master, nor the slave above his lord.
25. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the slave as his lord. If they have called the husband of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call those of his household?
26. Fear them not therefore, for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor hid that shall not be known.
27. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light, and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye from the housetops.
28. And fear not those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul, but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31. Fear ye not, therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32. Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in the heavens.
33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens.
34. Think not that I have come to introduce peace into the land; I came not to introduce peace, but a sword.
35. For I have come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36. And a man’s foes shall be those of his own household.
