21 Tradet autem frater fratrem in mortem, et pater filium: et insurgent filii in parentes, et morte eos afficient:

22 et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum: qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.

23 Cum autem persequentur vos in civitate ista, fugite in aliam. Amen dico vobis, non consummabitis civitates Israel, donec veniat Filius hominis.

24 Non est discipulus super magistrum, nec servus super dominum suum:

25 sufficit discipulo ut sit sicut magister ejus, et servo, sicut dominus ejus. Si patremfamilias Beelzebub vocaverunt, quanto magis domesticos ejus?

26 Ne ergo timueritis eos. Nihil enim est opertum, quod non revelabitur: et occultum, quod non scietur.

27 Quod dico vobis in tenebris, dicite in lumine: et quod in aure auditis, praedicate super tecta.

28 Et nolite timere eos qui occidunt corpus, animam autem non possunt occidere: sed potius timete eum, qui potest et animam et corpus perdere in gehennam.

29 Nonne duo passeres asse veneunt? et unus ex illis non cadet super terram sine Patre vestro.

30 Vestri autem capilli capitis omnes numerati sunt.

31 Nolite ergo timere: multis passeribus meliores estis vos.

32 Omnis ergo qui confitebitur me coram hominibus, confitebor et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in caelis est.

33 Qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabo et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in caelis est.

34 Nolite arbitrari quia pacem venerim mittere in terram: non veni pacem mittere, sed gladium:

35 veni enim separare hominem adversus patrem suum, et filiam adversus matrem suam, et nurum adversus socrum suam:

36 et inimici hominis, domestici ejus.

37 Qui amat patrem aut matrem plus quam me, non est me dignus: et qui amat filium aut filiam super me, non est me dignus.

38 Et qui non accipit crucem suam, et sequitur me, non est me dignus.

39 Qui invenit animam suam, perdet illam: et qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, inveniet eam.

40 Qui recipit vos, me recipit: et qui me recipit, recipit eum qui me misit.

41 Qui recipit prophetam in nomine prophetae, mercedem prophetae accipiet: et qui recipit justum in nomine justi, mercedem justi accipiet.

42 Et quicumque potum dederit uni ex minimis istis calicem aquae frigidae tantum in nomine discipuli: amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.

21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(A) and have them put to death.(B) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(C) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(D) 23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.(E)

24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(F) 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul,(G) how much more the members of his household!

26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(H) 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One(I) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(J) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(K)

32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(L) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(M)

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
    a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law(N)
36     a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[b](O)

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.(P) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(Q) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(R)

40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(S) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(T) 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”(U)
