18 (A)and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, (B)to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 (C)When (D)they deliver you over, (E)do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for (F)what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 (G)For it is not you who speak, but (H)the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 (I)Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 (J)and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. (K)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they (L)persecute you in one town, (M)flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel (N)before the Son of Man comes.

24 (O)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant[a] above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. (P)If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign[b] those of his household.

Have No Fear

26 “So have no fear of them, (Q)for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
