24A disciple dis not above his teacher, or a •slave above his master. e25It is enough for a disciple to become like his teacher and a slave like his master. If they called the head of the house ‘•Beelzebul,’ how much more the members of his household! f
Fear God
26“Therefore, gdon’t be afraid of them, since there is nothing covered that won’t be uncovered and nothing hidden that won’t be made known. h27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light. What you hear in a whisper, iproclaim on the housetops. j28Don’t fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; krather, fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in •hell. l29Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny? mYet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s nconsent. o30But even the hairs of your head have all been counted. p31So don’t be afraid therefore; you are worth more than many sparrows. q
Acknowledging Christ
32“Therefore, everyone who will acknowledge Me before men, I will also acknowledge him before My Father in heaven. r33But whoever denies Me before men, sI will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
Footnotes
- d10:24 Or student
- •The strong Greek word doulos cannot be accurately translated in English as servant or bond servant; the HCSB translates this word as slave, not out of insensitivity to the legitimate concerns of modern English speakers, but out of a commitment to accurately convey the brutal reality of the Roman empire’s inhumane institution as well as the ownership called for by Christ.
- •A term of slander, which was variously interpreted “lord of flies,” “lord of dung,” or “ruler of demons”
- i10:27 in the ear
- •The Greek word is gehenna; it is the Aramaic term for the Valley of Hinnom on the south side of Jerusalem; formerly, it was a place of human sacrifice, and in NT times, a place for the burning of garbage; it is the place of final judgment for those rejecting Christ.
- m10:29 Gk assarion, a small copper coin
- o10:29 ground apart from your Father
