RYLT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ 'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be you therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves. ¹⁷ And, take you heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they will scourge you, ¹⁸ and before governors and kings you shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
