²⁶‘Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known; ²⁷that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.

²⁹‘Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father; ³⁰and of you—even the hairs of the head are all numbered; ³¹be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.

³²‘Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens; ³³and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
