Matthew 10:23-31 (Gospel)
- 23
- When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
- 24
- A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
- 25
- It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!
- 26
- Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
- 27
- Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.
- 28
- And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
- 29
- Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
- 30
- But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
- 31
- Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
