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.
19 But whenever they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you will speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;
20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 “Furthermore, brother will hand over brother to death, and a father a child, and children will rise up against parents and put them to death.
22 And you will be hated by all for my name’s sake; but the one enduring to the end, he will be delivered.
23 But whenever they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly I say to you, you will certainly not go through all the cities of Israel before the Son of the Man comes.
