Contextual Overview
1 WHEN a large number of people had gathered together, so as to tread on one another, Jesus began to say to his disciples, First of all, Beware you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing that is covered, that will not be uncovered; and what is hidden that will not be known. 3 For whatever you have said in darkness will be heard in the light; and what you have whispered in the ears in the inner chambers will be preached on the housetops. 4 I say to you, my friends, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can do. 5 But I will show you of whom to be afraid; of him who after he has killed has the power to throw into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And yet not one of them is lost before God. 7 But so far as you are concerned, even the hairs of your head are all numbered; therefore fear not, because you are much more important than many sparrows. 8 I say to you, Whoever will acknowledge me before men, the Son of man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God. 9 But he who denies me before men, I will deny him before the angels of God. 10 And whoever says a word against the Son of man, will be forgiven; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

and unto magistrates and powers; Heathen ones; the Persic version reads, "princes and kings"; and the Ethiopic version, "princes, kings, and judges"; see Matthew 10:18
