Matthew 10:16-18 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore prudent as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Haweis⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore prudent as serpents, and harmless as doves. ¹⁷ But be on your guard against men: for they will deliver you up to the sanhedrim, and scourge you in their synagogues. ¹⁸ And ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the heathen.
