and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely for My sake.*

for so persecuted they the prophets who were before you.

¹³"Ye are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot of men.*

¹⁴"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid.
