Matthew 10:22-24

10:22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 10:23 Whenever ¹  they persecute you in one place, ²  flee to another. I tell you the truth, ³  you will not finish going through all the towns ⁴  of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

10:24 “A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a slave ⁵  greater than his master.
