³⁶ Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one.

²² And ^(A)you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. ^(B)But he who endures to the end will be saved. ^23 (C)When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have ^(D)gone through the cities of Israel ^(E)before the Son of Man comes.

^24 (F)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. ²⁵ It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If ^(G)they have called the master of the house ^[a]Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

Christ’s Example to Be Followed

4 Therefore, since Christ suffered ^[a]for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

^4 (A)For, in fact, we told you before when we were with you that we would suffer tribulation, just as it happened, and you know.

¹⁴ For you, brethren, became imitators ^(A)of the churches of God which are in Judea in Christ Jesus. For ^(B)you also suffered the same things from your own countrymen, just as they did from the Judeans, ^15 (C)who killed both the Lord Jesus and ^(D)their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they do not please God ^(E)and are ^[a]contrary to all men,

³³ These things I have spoken to you, that ^(A)in Me you may have peace. ^(B)In the world you ^[a]will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, ^(C)I have overcome the world.”

²⁰ Remember the word that I said to you, ^(A)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. ^(B)If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.
