If they have called the master
of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
010:026 Therefore don't be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered
that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
010:027 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you
hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
010:028 Don't be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able
to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy
both soul and body in Gehenna.{or, Hell.}
010:029 "Aren't two sparrows sold for an assarion coin{An assarion is a small
coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius
