Matthew 10:25-27
New Catholic Bible
25 It is enough for the student to be like his teacher and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul,[a] how much more those of his household?
26 The Conditions of Discipleship.[b]“Therefore, do not be afraid of them. There is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing secret that will not become known. 27 What I say to you in the dark, proclaim in the daylight, and what you hear whispered, shout from the housetops.
