Matthew 10:20-24

Persecution Will Come

²⁰ _x For it is not you who speak, but _y the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. ²¹ _z Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, ²² _a and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. _b But the one who endures to the end will be saved. ²³ When they _c persecute you in one town, _d flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel _e before the Son of Man comes.

²⁴ _f "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant ₁ above his master.
