40 He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me.
“He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who 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.
He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
