Luke 12:1-9 ▼

1 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, |Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

2 But there is nothing covered up, that will not be revealed, nor hidden, that will not be known.

3 Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.

4 |I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5 But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him, who after he has killed, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

6 |Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

8 |I tell you, everyone who confesses me before people, him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God;

9 but the one who denies me in the presence of people will be denied in the presence of the angels of God.
