Compare all
24 a“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.  
25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If athey have called the master of the house1 Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!  
26 Therefore do not fear them. aFor there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

28 aAnd do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather bfear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in1 hell.  
29 Are not two asparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.  
30 aBut the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  
31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men

32 a“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, bhim I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.  
33 aBut whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Matthew 10:26

Fear them not - A general direction to all the persecuted followers of Christ. Fear them not, for they can make you suffer nothing worse than they have made Christ suffer; and under all trials he has promised the most ample support.

For there is nothing covered, etc. - God sees every thing; this is consolation to the upright and dismay to the wicked; and he will bring into judgment every work, and every secret thing, whether good or bad, Ecclesiastes 12:14.
