If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household!26So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops.28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.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 Gehenna.And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.31So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.32Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.33But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.34Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.“Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.35For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.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.For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law:36A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’A man’s foes will be those of his own household.And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.and a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.37Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.38and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.40He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.41Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.42And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.
