Matthew 10 — Context

And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.

Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.

But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.

Do not have the thought that I have come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.
