WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ “Now then, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be prudent like snakes and innocent like doves. ¹⁷ But beware of the people, for they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues. ¹⁸ And you will be brought before governors and even kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the nations.
