"Now there is nothing covered, which shall not be revealed; and hidden, which shall not be known. 3 Wherefore, whatsoever ye have spoken in the darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye speak to the ear in chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. 4 But I say to you, my friends, be not made afraid by them that kill the body, and able to destroy both soul The clause preceding, Griesbach introduces into his text, with the mark of very probable addition: Scholz gives to it no indication that he regards it as of authority.

He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42 And whosoever shall give unto one of these little ones* a cup of cold water only to drink in the name of a disciple, verily 1 say unto you, he shall in nowise lose his reward."
