16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. |
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; |
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. |
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. |
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. |
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. |
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. |
