Verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone to all the cities of
Israel before the Son comes. The disciple is not above his master, nor
the servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as
his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master
of the house, Beelzebub, how much more shall they call those of God's
household?
Fear them not. There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; and
nothing hid that shall not be known. What I tell you in darkness, speak
ye in light. And what ye hear in the ear, preach that upon the
housetops. Fear not those who kill the body but are not able to kill
the soul. Instead, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body
in hell.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? Yet not one of them falls to
the ground without your Father knowing. The very hairs of your head are
all numbered by Him. Fear not because ye are of more value than many
sparrows. Whoever confesses me before men, I will confess him before my
Father in heaven. Whoever denies me before men, I will deny him before
my Father in heaven.
Think not that I came to earth to send peace. I came not to send peace,
but a sword. My coming will set a man against his father, and a
daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her
mother-in-law. A man's foes shall be those of his own household.
He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. He
that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he
that does not take up his cross and follow me, is not worthy of me.
He that finds his life shall lose it. He that loses his life for my
sake shall find it. He that receives you receives me, and he that
receives me receives Him that sent me. He that receives a prophet in
the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward. He that
receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man's reward. And whoever shall give to one of the little
ones a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, he shall
never lose his reward.

When Jesus finished instructing His twelve disciples, He departed to
teach and preach in their cities. When John, who was in prison, heard
of the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples. They asked Jesus,
Art thou He that should come or do we look for another? Jesus answered,
Go and show John those things which ye hear and see. The blind receive
their sight. The lame walk. The lepers are cleansed. The deaf hear. The
dead are raised up. And the poor have the gospel preached to them.
Blessed is he, who shall not be offended in me.
