16 "Listen! I am sending you out as sheep surrounded by wolves. So you must be sensible like serpents and guileless like doves.
17 Be on your guard against men, for they will turn you over to the courts and will flog you in their synagogues,
18 and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and the heathen.
19 But when they turn you over to the courts, you must not worry at all about how or what you ought to speak, for it will be given you at that hour what you ought to speak.
20 For it is not you who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking through you.
21 One brother will turn another over to death, and a father his child, and children will take a stand against their parents, and will have them put to death.
22 And you will be hated by all men, because you bear my name, but whoever bears up to the end will be saved.
23 But whenever they persecute you in one town, flee to a different one. For I solemnly say to you, you will not cover all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man returns.
