Matthew 10:13-17
New King James Version
13 (A)If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. (B)But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 (C)And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, (D)shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, (E)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!
Persecutions Are Coming(F)
16 (G)“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. (H)Therefore be wise as serpents and (I)harmless[a] as doves. 17 But beware of men, for (J)they will deliver you up to councils and (K)scourge you in their synagogues.
