Matthew 10:17-39

17But beG4337 onG4337 guardG4337 againstG4337G575 peopleG444, for they will handG3860 you overG3860 to the 1courtsG4892 and flogG3146 you 2in their synagoguesG4864; 18and you will evenG2532 be broughtG71 beforeG1909 governorsG2232 and kingsG935 on My accountG1752, as a testimonyG3142 to them and to the GentilesG1484. 193But whenG3752 they handG3860 you overG3860, 4do not worryG3309 aboutG3309 howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 you are to sayG2980; for whatG5101 you are to sayG2980 will be givenG1325 you in that hourG5610. 20For 5it is not you who are speakingG2980, but it is the SpiritG4151 of your FatherG3962 who is speakingG2980 6in you.

21“NowG1161 7brotherG80 will betrayG3860 brotherG80 to deathG2288, and a fatherG3962 his childG5043; and 8childrenG5043 will riseG1881 upG1881 againstG1909 parentsG1118 and 9causeG2289 them toG2289 beG2289 putG2289 toG2289 deathG2289. 22And 10you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686, but 11it is the one who has enduredG5278 to the endG5056 whoG3778 will be savedG4982.

23“But wheneverG3752 they 12persecuteG1377 you in 13oneG3778 cityG4172, fleeG5343 to the 14nextG2087; for trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, you will not finishG5055 going through the citiesG4172 of IsraelG2474 15untilG2193 the SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064.

24“16A 17discipleG3101 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. 18IfG1487 they have calledG1941 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 1920BeelzebulG954, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will they insult the membersG3615 ofG3615 his householdG3615!

26“SoG3767 do not 21fearG5399 them, 22for there is nothingG3762 concealedG2572 that will not be revealedG601, orG2532 hiddenG2927 that will not be knownG1097. 2723WhatG3739 I tellG3004 you in the darknessG4653, tellG3004 in the lightG5457; and whatG3739 you hearG191 whispered in your earG3775, proclaimG2784 24on the housetopsG1430G1909. 28And do not beG5399 afraidG5399 of thoseG3588 who killG615 the bodyG4983 but are unableG3361G1410 to killG615 the soulG5590; but ratherG3123 25fearG5399 Him who is ableG1410 to destroyG622 bothG2532 soulG5590 and bodyG4983 in 2627hellG1067. 2928Are twoG1417 sparrowsG4765 not soldG4453 for an 29assarionG787? And yet not oneG1520 of them will fallG4098 to the groundG1093 apartG427 from your FatherG3962. 30But 30evenG2532 the hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 countedG705. 31SoG3767 do not fearG5399; 31you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than a greatG4183 numberG4183 of sparrowsG4765.

32“ThereforeG3767, 32everyoneG3956 whoG3748 33confessesG3670 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 confessG3670 34him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 33But 35whoeverG3748G302 deniesG720 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 denyG720 him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

34“36Do not thinkG3543 that I cameG2064 to 37bringG906 peaceG1515 on the earthG1093; I did not comeG2064 to 38bringG906 peaceG1515, but a swordG3162. 35For I cameG2064 to 39turnG1369 a manG444 againstG2596 his fatherG3962, and a daughterG2364 againstG2596 her motherG3384, and a daughter-in-lawG3565 againstG2596 her mother-in-lawG3994; 36and 40a person’sG444 enemiesG2190 will be the membersG3615 of his householdG3615.

37“41The one who lovesG5368 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384 moreG5228 thanG5228 Me is not worthyG514 of Me; and the one who lovesG5368 sonG5207 orG2228 daughterG2364 moreG5228 thanG5228 Me is not worthyG514 of Me. 38And 42the one whoG3739 does not takeG2983 his crossG4716 and followG190 afterG3694 Me is not worthyG514 of Me. 3943The one who has foundG2147 his 44lifeG5590 will loseG622 it, and the one who has lostG622 his 45lifeG5590 on My accountG1752 will findG2147 it.
