4 [10:29]Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion [1.5 mills]? and
one of them cannot fall to the ground without your Father. [10:30]Even
the hairs of your head are all numbered. [10:31]Fear not, therefore,
you are of more value than many sparrows. [10:32]Every one, therefore,
who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my
Father in heaven; [10:33]and whoever denies me before men, him will I
also deny before my Father in heaven.
5 [10:34]Think not that I have come to send peace on the earth. I have
not come to send peace, but a sword. [10:35]I have come to set a man at
variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a
bride against her mother-in-law; [10:36]and a man's enemies shall be
those of his own house. [10:37]He that loves father or mother more than
me is not worthy of me; and he that loves son or daughter more than me
is not worthy of me; [10:38]and he that does not take up his cross and

it, and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it. [10:40]He
that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him

righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous
man's reward. [10:42]And whoever shall give one of these little ones a
cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, I tell you truly, he
shall by no means lose his reward. [11:1]And when Jesus had finished
his charge to his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and
preach in their cities.
CHAPTER VIII.
JOHN THE BAPTIST QUESTIONING CHRIST'S MESSIAHSHIP.
1 [11:2]AND John hearing in the prison of the works of Christ, sending
by his disciples, [11:3]said to him, Are you he that was coming, or
look we for another? [11:4]And Jesus answered and said to them, Go and
tell John what you see and hear; [11:5]the blind see, the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the
poor have the good news preached to them; [11:6]and blessed is he that
is not offended with me.
2 [11:7]And when they had gone, Jesus began to say to the multitudes,
concerning John, What went you out to the wilderness to see? A reed
shaken with the wind? [11:8]But what went you out to see? A man wearing
fine clothes? Behold, they that wear fine clothes are in th
