12 And when yee come into an house, salute the same.
When you go into a house, salute it:

19 But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought howe or what ye shall speake: for it shall be giuen you in that houre, what ye shall say.
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what you shall speak; for that which you shall speak shall be given you in that hour:
20 For it is not yee that speake, but the spirite of your father which speaketh in you.
for it is not you that speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you.

It is enough for the disciple, that he be as his teacher; and for the servant, that he be as his master. If they call the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household?

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Feare ye not therefore, yee are of more value then many sparowes.
Fear not, therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoeuer therefore shall confesse me before men, him will I confesse also before my Father which is in heauen.

But whoever will deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

40 He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me.
He that receives you, receives me: and he that receives me, receives him that sent me.
41 Hee that receiueth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receiue a Prophetes rewarde: and hee that receiueth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receiue the rewarde of a righteous man.
