Disciples are not more important than their teacher; servants are not more important than their master.

Disciples should be satisfied to become like their teacher, and servants like their master. If the head of the house has been called the head demon Beelzebub, then the members of his household will be demonized even more!

Even the hairs on your head have all been counted.

Your enemies will be those of your own family!’
37 yazca sutE sutAyAM vA mattOdhikaM prIyatE, sEpi na madarhaH|
If you love your father or mother more than me you don't deserve to be mine, and if you love your son or daughter more than me you don't deserve to be mine.
38 yaH svakruzaM gRhlan matpazcAnnaiti, sEpi na madarhaH|
If you don't pick up your cross and follow me you don't deserve to be mine.
39 yaH svaprANAnavati, sa tAn hArayiSyatE, yastu matkRtE svaprANAn hArayati, sa tAnavati|
If you try to save your life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me you will save it.
40 yO yuSmAkamAtithyaM vidadhAti, sa mamAtithyaM vidadhAti, yazca mamAtithyaM vidadhAti, sa matprErakasyAtithyaM vidadhAti|
Those who welcome you welcome me, and those who welcome me welcome the one that sent me.

Those who welcome a prophet because that's what they are will receive the same reward as a prophet. Those who welcome someone who does right will receive the same reward as someone who does right.
42 yazca kazcit EtESAM kSudranarANAm yaM kanjcanaikaM ziSya iti viditvA kaMsaikaM zItalasalilaM tasmai dattE, yuSmAnahaM tathyaM vadAmi, sa kEnApi prakArENa phalEna na vanjciSyatE|
I tell you the truth, those who give a drink of cool water to the least important of my disciples will definitely not miss out on their reward.”
