 26 Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.
Ne ergo timueritis eos. Nihil enim est opertum, quod non revelabitur : et occultum, quod non scietur.

 27 That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
Quod dico vobis in tenebris, dicite in lumine : et quod in aure auditis, praedicate super tecta.

 28 And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.
Et nolite timere eos qui occidunt corpus, animam autem non possunt occidere : sed potius timete eum, qui potest et animam et corpus perdere in gehennam.

 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
Nonne duo passeres asse veneunt? et unus ex illis non cadet super terram sine Patre vestro.

 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Vestri autem capilli capitis omnes numerati sunt.

 31 Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.
Nolite ergo timere : multis passeribus meliores estis vos.

 32 Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
Omnis ergo qui confitebitur me coram hominibus, confitebor et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in caelis est.

St Gorgonius was at Nicodemia and he was an officer of Diocletian's household. There he converted many servants of the imperial court. His cruel master condemned him and his companions to a most atrocious death in 302 A.D.
