Matthew 10:24-36

24“1A 2disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25It is enough for the disciple that he may become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. 3If they have called the head of the house 45Beelzebul, how much more will they insult the members of his household!

26“So do not 6fear them, 7for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 278What I tell you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim 9on the housetops. 28And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather 10fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in 1112hell. 2913Are two sparrows not sold for an 14assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30But 15even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31So do not fear; 16you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.

32“Therefore, 17everyone who 18confesses Me before people, I will also confess 19him before My Father who is in heaven. 33But 20whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

34“21Do not think that I came to 22bring peace on the earth; I did not come to 23bring peace, but a sword. 35For I came to 24turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36and 25a person’s enemies will be the members of his household.
