Contextual Overview
1At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, "Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy; 2and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known; 3because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops. 4And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do; 5but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. 6Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God, 7but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows. 8And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God, 9and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God, 10and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to 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
