And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.

And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

And a man will be hated by those of his house.

Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.

And when you go in, say, May peace be on this house.

Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.

And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.

And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

And Jesus, answering, said to them, Go and give news to John of the things which you are seeing and hearing:

Now when John had news in prison of the works of the Christ, he sent his disciples

Take no gold or silver or copper in your pockets;

And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

He who gives honour to a prophet, in the name of a prophet, will be given a prophet's reward; and he who gives honour to an upright man, in the name of an upright man, will be given an upright man's reward.

To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.

Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.

But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;

And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.

Matthew 11

And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.

See, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Be then as wise as snakes, and as gentle as doves.

But the hairs of your head are all numbered.

It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

And into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.

And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.

Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.
