come [ i . e . to meet the apostles on their return , and receive an account of their missions , see Mark * vi . 30 . Luke ix . 10 . ] A disciple is not above his teacher , nor a servant above his lord ; it is sufficient for the disciple to be as his teacher , and the servant as his lord . If they have called the householder Beelzebub fthe supposed prince of the demons , to whom the unbelieving Jews attri&uted ~" rlis ~ "lnfrKcnulOTs ~~ po wers ]~ how ™ muGh ^ more _^ iil they so call ] his household ! Fear them not , therefore ; for there is nothing hidden which shall not be revealed , or secret
which shall not be known . What I say unto you in darkness , speak ye in the light ; and what ye hear in the ear , proclaim upon the house-tops . And fear not them , who kill the body , yet cannot kill the soul ; but rather fear him , who can destroy both soul and body in hell . Are not two sparrows sold for a penny ? yet not one of them falleth to the ground without [ the will of ] your father . But even the hairs of your head are all numbered . Fear not , therefore ; ye are of more value than many sparrows .
Whosoever , therefore , shall acknowledge me before men , him will I also confess before my father who is in heaven ; but whosoever shall deny me before men , him will I also deny before my father who is in heaven . Suppose not that I am come to bring peace on earth ; I am not come to bring peace , but a sword . For I am come to set a manat variance against his father , and a daughter against her mother , and a daughter-in law against her mother-inlaw ; and a man's own household will be his enemies . [ Such
was not the object , but one of the necessary partial effects of Christ ' s missibn , ] He who loveth father or mother more than me , is not worthy of me ; and he who loveth son or daughter more than me , is not worthy of me ; and he who doth not take his cross and follow after me , is not worthy of me . He who findeth [ i . e . seeketh to preserve ] his life , shall lose it ; but he who loseth his life on my account , ^ hall find it . He who received you , receiveth me ; and he who / receiveth me , receiveth
him who sent me . ] 3 e who receiveth k prophet in the name of a prophet , shall receive a prophet ' s reward ; and he who receivetJh a righteous man in the name of a righteous man , shall receive a righteous man ' s reward ; and whosoever shall give one of these little ones [ meaning his disciples ] a cup of cold water only to drink , in the name of a disciple , verily I say unto you ,
he shall not lose his reward . " [ As several of the predictions and directions here recorded . are not strictly app licable to this first apostolic mission , some of them are supposed to have been compiled from subsequent discourses of Jesus . ] And it came to pass , when Jesus had ended ordaining his twelve disciples , that he departed thence to teach and preach in their cities ,
Mark iii . 13—19 . And [ Jesus ] goeth up the mountain [ probably one near Capernaum , to which he commonly resorted with his disciples ] , and
