26 Ne les craignez donc point;car il n’y a rien de caché qui ne doive être découvert, ni de secret qui ne doive être connu.

27 Ce que je vous dis dans les ténèbres, dites-le en plein jour; et ce qui vous est dit à l’oreille, prêchez-le sur les toits.

28 Ne craignez pas ceux qui tuent le corps et qui ne peuvent tuer l’âme; craignez plutôt celui qui peut faire périr l’âme et le corps dans la géhenne.

29 Ne vend-on pas deux passereaux pour un sou? Cependant, il n’en tombe pas un à terre sans la volonté de votre Père.

30 Et même lescheveux de votre tête sont tous comptés.
