Matthew 10:28 in context

Matthew 10:25–31

25

It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

26

Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

27

What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

28
Selected verse

Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

29

“Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

30

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31

Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
