Matthew 10:16-28

16“1BeholdG2400, I am sendingG649 you outG649 as sheepG4263 inG649 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074; soG3767 be as 2waryG5429 as serpentsG3789, and as 3innocentG185 as dovesG4058. 17But beG4337 onG4337 guardG4337 againstG4337 G575 peopleG444, for they will handG3860 you overG3860 to the 4courtsG4892 and flogG3146 you 5in their synagoguesG4864; 18and you will evenG2532 be broughtG71 beforeG1909 governorsG2232 and kingsG935 on My accountG1752, as a testimonyG3142 to them and to the GentilesG1484. 19 6But whenG3752 they handG3860 you overG3860, 7do not worryG3309 aboutG3309 howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 you are to sayG2980; for whatG5101 you are to sayG2980 will be givenG1325 you in that hourG5610. 20For 8it is not you who are speakingG2980, but it is the SpiritG4151 of your FatherG3962 who is speakingG2980 9in you.

21“NowG1161 10brotherG80 will betrayG3860 brotherG80 to deathG2288, and a fatherG3962 his childG5043; and 11childrenG5043 will riseG1881 upG1881 againstG1909 parentsG1118 and 12causeG2289 them toG2289 beG2289 putG2289 toG2289 deathG2289. 22And 13you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686, but 14it is the one who has enduredG5278 to the endG5056 whoG3778 will be savedG4982.

23“But wheneverG3752 they 15persecuteG1377 you in 16oneG3778 cityG4172, fleeG5343 to the 17nextG2087; for trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, you will not finishG5055 going through the citiesG4172 of IsraelG2474 18untilG2193 the SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064.

24“19A 20discipleG3101 is not aboveG5228 his teacherG1320, norG3761 a slaveG1401 aboveG5228 his masterG2962. 25It is enoughG713 for the discipleG3101 that he may becomeG1096 likeG5613 his teacherG1320, and the slaveG1401 likeG5613 his masterG2962. 21IfG1487 they have calledG1941 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 22 23BeelzebulG954, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will they insult the membersG3615 ofG3615 his householdG3615!

26“SoG3767 do not 24fearG5399 them, 25for there is nothingG3762 concealedG2572 that will not be revealedG601, orG2532 hiddenG2927 that will not be knownG1097. 27 26WhatG3739 I tellG3004 you in the darknessG4653, tellG3004 in the lightG5457; and whatG3739 you hearG191 whispered in your earG3775, proclaimG2784 27on the housetopsG1430 G1909. 28And do not beG5399 afraidG5399 of thoseG3588 who killG615 the bodyG4983 but are unableG3361 G1410 to killG615 the soulG5590; but ratherG3123 28fearG5399 Him who is ableG1410 to destroyG622 bothG2532 soulG5590 and bodyG4983 in 29 30hellG1067.
