Matthew 10:25
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

Study Note
The principle 'it is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?' prepares the disciples for rejection by grounding it in Jesus's own experience. The accusation 'Beelzebub' (lord of flies, or possibly 'lord of the house/high place') was a slur applied to Jesus in Matthew 12:24, associating his exorcisms with demonic power rather than divine authority. The master-servant analogy establishes a christomorphic pattern for apostolic suffering: to suffer rejection as Jesus did is not a sign of failure but of authentic representation. The verse has been formative for Christian theology of martyrdom and persecution as participation in Christ's own passion.
