But the one who denies me before men will be denied before God’s angels.

In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of God&#8217;s angels<n id="1" /> over one sinner who repents.&#8221;p>

<p class="bodytext">When<n id="1" /> John&#8217;s messengers had gone, Jesus<n id="2" /> began to speak to the crowds about John: &#8220;What did you go out into the wilderness<n id="3" /> to see? A reed shaken by the wind?<n id="4" />

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Now<n id="1" /> the poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham&#8217;s side.<n id="2" /> The<n id="3" /> rich man also died and was buried.<n id="4" />

and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels,<n id="1" /> who said he was alive.

For whoever is ashamed<n id="1" /> of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person<n id="2" /> when he comes in his glory and in the glory<n id="3" /> of the Father and of the holy angels.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;I<n id="1" /> tell you, whoever acknowledges<n id="2" /> me before men,<n id="3" /> the Son of Man will also acknowledge<n id="4" /> before God&#8217;s angels.
