Sermons citing Matthew 10:16–33

^10:18 On My account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

^10:19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

^10:20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

^10:21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

^10:22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.

^10:23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

^10:24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

^10:25 It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

^10:26 So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.

^10:27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.

^10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

^10:29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.

^10:30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

^10:31 So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

^10:32 Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.

^10:33 But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
