Matthew 10:
16 - 23
|
| 16 |
"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the
midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. |
| 17 |
Beware of men; for they will deliver you up
to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, |
| 18 |
and you will be dragged before governors and
kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles.
|
| 19 |
When they deliver you up, do not be anxious
how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be
given to you in that hour; |
| 20 |
for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit
of your Father speaking through you. |
| 21 |
Brother will deliver up brother to death,
and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them
put to death; |
| 22 |
and you will be hated by all for my name's
sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. |
| 23 |
When they persecute you in one town, flee to
the next; for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns
of Israel, before the Son of man comes. |
