Anno DOMINI 31.
14 [1] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, [2] shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily I say unto you, [3] It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 ¶ [4] Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: [5] be ye therefore wise as serpents, [6] and ‖‖ Or, simple. harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for [7] they will deliver you up to the councils, and [8] they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And [9] ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 [10] But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for [11] it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 [12] For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 [13] And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And [14] ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: [15] but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But [16] when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not ‖‖ Or, end, or, finish. have gone over the cities of Israel, [17] till the Son of man be come.
24 [18] The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If [19] they have called the master of the house †† Gr. Beelzebul. Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: [20] for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 [21] And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a ‖‖ It is in value half-penny farthing in the original, as being the tenth part of the Roman penny: see on ch. 18. 28. farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 [22] But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 [23] Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, [24] him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 [25] But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 [26] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance [27] against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And [28] a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 [29] He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 [30] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 [31] He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 ¶ [32] He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 [33] He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 [34] And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

AND it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 ¶ [35] Now when John had heard [36] in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 And said unto him, Art thou [37] he that should come, or do we look for another?
4 Jesus answered and said unto them,
