Goodspeed(i)
16 "Here I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So you must be wise like serpents, and guileless like doves.
17 But be on your guard against men, for they will give you up to their courts, and have you flogged in their synagogues,
18 and you will be brought before governors and kings on my account, to bear your testimony before them and the heathen.
19 But when they give you up, you must have no anxiety about how to speak or what to say, for you will be told at the very moment what you ought to say,
20 for it is not you who will speak, it is the Spirit of your Father that will speak through you.
21 One brother will give up another to death, and a father his child, and children will turn against their parents, and have them put to death.
22 You will be hated by everybody on my account, but the man who holds out to the very end will be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in one town, make your escape to another, for I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man arrives.
24 A pupil is not better than his teacher, nor a slave better than his master.
25 A pupil should be satisfied to come to be like his teacher, or a slave, to come to be like his master. If men have called the head of the house Beelzebub, how much worse names will they give to the members of his household!
