24. “A disciple is not above his rabbi, nor a servant above his lord.
25. It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
26. Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
27. What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28. Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehinnom.
29. “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father’s will,
30. but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
32. Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
33. But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34. “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.
35. For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36. A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
