23. But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24. A disciple is not above his master, nor a servant above his lord.
25. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household!
26. Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27. What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28. And be not afraid of them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:
30. but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31. Fear not therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32. Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father which is in heaven.
33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34. Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35. For I came 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 they of his own household.
37. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
