id in the darkness, shall be heard in the light; and what ye
spoke in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.

(4)And I say to you, my friends, be not afraid of those who kill the
body, and after that have no more that they can do. (5)But I will warn
you whom ye shall fear; fear him, who after he has killed has power to
cast into hell; yea, I say to you, fear him. (6)Are not five sparrows
sold for two pence? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
(7)But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; ye are
of more value than many sparrows.

(8)And I say to you: Every one that shall acknowledge me before men,
him will the Son of man also acknowledge before the angels of God;
(9)but he that denied me before men shall be denied before the angels
of God. (10)And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of
