Beware of Hypocrisy
1 In athe meantime, when an innumerable multitude of people had gathered together, so that they trampled one another, He began to say to His disciples first of all, b“Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 aFor there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.
3 Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.
Jesus Teaches the Fear of God
4 a“And I say to you, bMy friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, afear Him!
7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Confess Christ Before Men
8 a“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me bbefore men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.
10 “And aanyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.
11 a“Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.
