But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;
18
And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19
But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;
20
Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.
21
And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.
22
And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.
23
But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
24
A disciple is not greater than his master, or a servant than his lord.
25
It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!
26
Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.
27
What I say to you in the dark, say in the light: and what comes to your ear secretly, say publicly from the house-tops.
