*
In the meantime ,
when a great crowd of people had gathered ,
so that they trod upon each other ,
he began to say first to his disciples ,
Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees ,
which is hypocrisy .
*
For there is nothing covered ,
that shall not be revealed ;
nor hidden ,
that shall not be known .
*
Therefore ,
whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light ;
and that which you have spoken in the ear behind closed doors shall be proclaimed upon the housetops .
*
And I say to you ,
my friends ,
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body ,
and after that have no more that they can do .
*
But I will warn you whom to fear :
Fear him ,
who after he has killed has power to cast into hell ;
yes ,
I say to you ,
Fear him .
*
Are not five sparrows sold for twopence ,
and not one of them is forgotten before God ?
*
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered .
Therefore do not fear :
you are of more value than many sparrows .
*
And I say to you ,
Whoever shall confess me before men ,
him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God :
*
But he who denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God .
*
And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man ,
it shall be forgiven him :
but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit shall not be forgiven .
*
And when they bring you to the synagogues ,
and to magistrates ,
and authorities ,
take no thought of how you shall defend yourself ,
or what you shall say :
*
For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that very hour what you ought to say .
*
And one of the company said to him ,
Teacher ,
tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me .
