²⁵“It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. ^aIf they have called the head of the house ¹^bBeelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

²⁶“Therefore do not ^afear them, ^bfor there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

²⁷“^aWhat I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim ^bupon the housetops.

²⁸“And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather ^afear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in ¹^bhell.

²⁹“^aAre not two sparrows sold for an ¹assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.

³⁰“But ^athe very hairs of your head are all numbered.

³¹“So do not fear; ^ayou are more valuable than many sparrows.

³²“Therefore ^aeveryone who ¹confesses Me before men, I will also confess ²him before My Father who is in heaven.

³³“But ^awhoever ¹denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
