========================
Luke 12:1-12
========================
1Meanwhile, when a crowd of
many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus
began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be on your guard against the
yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2There is nothing concealed
that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
3What you have said in the
dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in
the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
4“I tell you, my friends, do
not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
5But I will show you whom you
should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to
throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him.
6Are not five sparrows sold
for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7Indeed, the very hairs of
your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many
sparrows.
8“I tell you, whoever publicly
acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the
angels of God.
9But whoever disowns me
before others will be disowned before the angels of God.
10And everyone who speaks a
word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against
the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11“When you are brought
before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will
defend yourselves or what you will say,
12for the Holy Spirit will
teach you at that time what you should say.”
