P1681:9, 150:4.2
Jesus arranged the date for meeting the twelve at Nazareth, and in parting,
he said: "On this mission go not to any city of the gentiles, neither go into
Samaria, but go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Preach the
gospel of the kingdom and proclaim the saving truth that man is a son of God.
Remember that the disciple is hardly above his master nor a servant greater
than his lord. It is enough for the disciple to be equal with his master and
the servant to become like his lord. If some people have dared to call the master
of the house an associate of Beelzebub, how much more shall they so regard those
of his household! But you should not fear these unbelieving enemies. I declare
to you that there is nothing covered up that is not going to be revealed; there
is nothing hidden that shall not be known. What I have taught you privately,
that preach with wisdom in the open. What I have revealed to you in the inner
chamber, that you are to proclaim in due season from the housetops. And I say
to you, my friends and disciples, be not afraid of those who can kill the body,
but who are not able to destroy the soul; rather put your trust
in Him who is able to sustain the body and save the soul.
