1 In the meantime, a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling one another. Jesus began to speak first to His disciples (pupils): “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed (uncovered), and nothing hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you⁺ have spoken in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you⁺ have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the housetops. 4 I tell you⁺, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you⁺ whom you⁺ should fear: Fear the One who, after you have been killed, has authority to throw you into hell {Gehenna}. Yes, I tell you⁺, fear Him! 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies \two assaria/? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God {Theou}. 7 And even the very hairs of your⁺ head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you⁺ are worth more than many sparrows. 8 I tell you⁺, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess him before the angels (messengers) of God {Theou}. 9 But whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels (messengers) of God {Theou}.
