Be on your guard against others, for they will betray you to courts of law, and scourge you in their synagogues;
and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake so that you may witness for me before them and the nations.
Whenever they betray you, do not be anxious as to how you will speak or what you will say, for what you will say will be given you at the moment;
for it will not be you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks within you.
Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; and children will turn against their parents, and cause them to be put to death;
and you will be hated by everyone because of me. Yet the person who endures to the end will be saved.
But, when they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for, I tell you, you will not have come to the end of the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
It is enough for a student to be treated like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
