马太福音-Matthew 10章29~32节
| 10:29 | 两只麻雀不是卖一个铜钱么？没有你们父的许可，一只也不会掉在地上。 |
| Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And not one of them will fall to the earth apart from your Father. | |
| 10:30 | 就是连你们的头发，也都被数过了。 |
| But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. | |
| 10:31 | 所以不要怕，你们比许多麻雀还贵重。 |
| Therefore do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. | |
| 10:32 | 凡在人面前，在我里面承认我的，我在我诸天之上的父面前，也必在他里面承认他； |
| Every one therefore who will confess in Me before men, I also will confess in him before My Father who is in the heavens; |
Enlightenment:
If anyone under persecution denies Him, He will deny him. This will transpire at His coming back (16:27). To be denied or confessed by Him at that time determines whether or not His apostles are worthy to enter the kingdom of the heavens in the coming age as a reward. Here the King seemed to be saying, “If you are afraid of this persecution and do not confess My name before the persecutors, I will not confess your name before the Father when I come back and the millennium begins.” This means that such a person will be put into the outer darkness (25:30) and will not participate in the manifestation of the kingdom.
亮光
若有人在受逼迫时不认祂，祂也要不认这人。这要发生于祂回来时。（太十六27。）那时被祂否认还是承认，要断定祂的使徒是否配得赏赐，在来世进诸天的国。这里王似乎说，“你若害怕这逼迫，在逼迫者面前不承认我的名；当我回来，千年国开始时，我在父面前也必不承认你的名。”这就是说，这样的人要被扔在外面黑暗里，（太二五30，）不会有分于国度的实现。
