Matthew 10:16–25

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
¶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

From verse 18

  1. Acts 24:1–26Rank 1 from verse 18
    Open

    1AND after five days Ananias the high priest descended with the elders, and with a certain orator named Tertullus, who informed the governor against Paul.

    2And when he was called forth, Tertullus began to accuse him, saying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy great quietness, and that very worthy deeds are done unto this nation by thy providence,

    3We accept it always, and in all places, most noble Felix, with all thankfulness.

    4Notwithstanding, that I be not further tedious unto thee, I pray thee that thou wouldest hear us of thy clemency a few words.

    5For we have found this man a pestilent fellow, and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes:

    6Who also hath gone about to profane the temple: whom we took, and would have judged according to our law.

    7But the chief captain Lysias came upon us, and with great violence took him away out of our hands,

    8Commanding his accusers to come unto thee: by examining of whom thyself mayest take knowledge of all these things, whereof we accuse him.

    9And the Jews also assented, saying that these things were so.

    10Then Paul, after that the governor had beckoned unto him to speak, answered, Forasmuch as I know that thou hast been of many years a judge unto this nation, I do the more cheerfully answer for myself:

    11Because that thou mayest understand, that there are yet but twelve days since I went up to Jerusalem for to worship.

    12And they neither found me in the temple disputing with any man, neither raising up the people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city:

    13Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me.

    14But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

    15And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

    16And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.

    17Now after many years I came to bring alms to my nation, and offerings.

    18Whereupon certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, neither with multitude, nor with tumult.

    19Who ought to have been here before thee, and object, if they had ought against me.

    20Or else let these same here say, if they have found any evil doing in me, while I stood before the council,

    21Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.

    22And when Felix heard these things, having more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, and said, When Lysias the chief captain shall come down, I will know the uttermost of your matter.

    23And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, and to let him have liberty, and that he should forbid none of his acquaintance to minister or come unto him.

    24And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ.

    25And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.

    26He hoped also that money should have been given him of Paul, that he might loose him: wherefore he sent for him the oftener, and communed with him.

    3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

    4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
