³⁴‘Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword; ³⁵for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, ³⁶and the enemies of a man are those of his household.

³⁷‘He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me, ³⁸and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹‘He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁰‘He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me, ⁴¹he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man’s reward, ⁴²and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.’
