Matthew 10:21-26
English Standard Version
21 (A)Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 (B)and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. (C)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they (D)persecute you in one town, (E)flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel (F)before the Son of Man comes.
24 (G)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant[a] above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. (H)If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign[b] those of his household.
Have No Fear
26 “So have no fear of them, (I)for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
