Matthew 10:24-28

New American Standard Bible

The Meaning of Discipleship

²⁴ “^(A)A ^[a]disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he may become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. ^(B)If they have called the head of the house ^[b](C)Beelzebul, how much more will they insult the members of his household!

²⁶ “So do not ^(D)fear them, ^(E)for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. ^27 (F)What I tell you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim ^(G)on the housetops. ²⁸ And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather ^(H)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in ^[c](I)hell.
