but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

24 A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

32 Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

and a man’s foes [shall be] they of his own household.

He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who welcomes a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 Whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I say to 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 he shall in no wise lose his reward.
