And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.

23

But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

24

A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

25

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household!

26

Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

27

What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops.
