Matthew 10:25 Context
23But when they persecute you in this citie, flee ye into another: for verely I say vnto you, ye shall not haue gone ouer the cities of Israel, till the Sonne of man be come. 24The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the seruant as his Lord: If they haue called the Master of the house of Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? 26Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be reueiled; and hidde, that shall not be knowen. 27What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee vpon the house tops.
