Matthew 10:21-31

21 Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.

22 And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End--he will be saved.

23 Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 "The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant is never superior to his master.

25 Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?

26 Fear them not, however; there is nothing veiled which will not be uncovered, nor secret which will not become known.

27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.

28 "And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

29 Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.

30 But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.

31 Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.
