Israel, till the Son of man come.
10:24. The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his
lord.
10:25. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the
servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house

10:26. Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be
revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.
10:27. That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and
that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
10:28. And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill
the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in
hell.
10:29. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them
shall fall on the ground without your Father.
10:30. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
10:31. Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.
