And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake—for a witness to them and the nations.
19 But when they deliver you over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

24 "A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
A, disciple, is not above, the teacher, nor, a servant, above, his lord:

29 "Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
Are not, two sparrows, for a farthing, sold? And, one from among them, shall not fall upon the ground, without your Father;
30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
But, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.
31 Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Then be not in fear—than many sparrows, better are, ye!
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens;

But, whoever shall deny me before men, I also, will deny, him, before my Father who is in the heavens.
34 "Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
Do not think, that I came to thrust peace upon the earth, —I came not to thrust, peace, but, a sword;
35 For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
For I came to set at variance—a man, against, his father, and, a daughter, against, her mother, and, a bride, against, her mother-in-law;
36 And a person's foes will be those of his own household.
And, a man foes, are, they of his own house.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me, —and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me;
38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me.
39 Whoever seeks his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
He that hath found his life, shall lose it, —and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.
40 Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
He that giveth welcome unto you, unto me, giveth welcome, and, he that, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome—unto him that sent me forth.
41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
He that giveth welcome unto a prophet, in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet, shall receive; and, he that giveth welcome unto a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, the reward of a righteous man, shall receive; —
42 And whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
And, whosoever shall give to drink—unto one of these little ones—a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, Verily, I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward!
