Matthew 10:19-31

¹⁹But 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;

²⁰Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.

²¹And 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.

²²And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

²³But 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.

²⁴A disciple is not greater than his master, or a servant than his lord.

²⁵It 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!

²⁶Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.

²⁷What I say to you in the dark, say in the light: and what comes to your ear secretly, say publicly from the house-tops.

²⁸And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.

²⁹Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

³⁰But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

³¹Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.
