³³ but ^(A)whoever denies me before men, ^(B)I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁷ And Jesus answered him, ^(A)“Blessed are you, ^(B)Simon Bar-Jonah! For ^(C)flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, ^(D)but my Father who is in heaven.

¹⁰ “See that you do not despise ^(A)one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven ^(B)their angels always ^(C)see the face of my Father who is in heaven.^[a]

¹⁴ So ^(A)it is not the will of my^[a] Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.

¹⁹ Again I say to you, if two of you ^(A)agree on earth about anything they ask, ^(B)it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
