Matthew 10:19-29

19 "1But when they hand you over, 2do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.
20 "For 3it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 "4Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and 5children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
22 "6You will be hated by all because of My name, but 7it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
23 "But whenever they 8persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel 9until the Son of Man comes.

The Meaning of Discipleship

24 "10A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.
25 "It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. 11If they have called the head of the house 12Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!
26 "Therefore do not 13fear them, 14for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
27 "15What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim 16upon the housetops.
28 "Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable * to kill the soul; but rather 17fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in 18hell.
29 "19Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.
