16. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you;
18. yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
19. But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.
