16 Remember, I am sending you out as my Messengers like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as serpents, and as blameless as doves.
17 Be on your guard against your fellow men, for they will betray you to courts of law, and scourge you in their Synagogues;
18 And you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, that you may witness for me before them and the nations.
19 Whenever they betray you, do not be anxious as to how you shall speak or what you shall say, for what you shall say will be given you at the moment;
20 For it will not be you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks within you.
21 Brother will betray brother to death, and the father his child; and children will turn against their parents, and cause them to be put to death;
22 And you will be hated by every one on account of my Name. Yet the man that endures to the end shall be saved.
23 But, when they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for, I tell you, you will not have come to the end of the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 A scholar is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
