Jesus said to the Twelve:
"Fear no one.
Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed,
nor secret that will not be known.
What I say to you in the darkness, speak in thelight;
what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.
And do not be afraid of those who kill the bodybut cannot kill the soul;
rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy
both soul and body in Gehenna.
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin?
Yet not one of them falls to the ground withoutyour Father's knowledge.
Even all the hairs of your head are counted.
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than manysparrows.
Everyone who acknowledges me before others
I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father.
But whoever denies me before others,
I will deny before my heavenly Father."

Matthew 10:26-33
