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

32 Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Therefore every one who shall confess me before the people, I will also confess him before my Father, who is in the heavens.

But whosoever may deny me before the people, I will also deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.

The one receiving you will receive me, and the one receiving me will receive 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.
The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive the reward of a prophet; and the one receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive the reward of a righteous man.
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 may give one of these little ones only a cup of cold water, in the name of a disciple, truly I say unto you, He can not lose his reward.
