10:16¶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

10:17But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

10:18And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

10:19But 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.

10:20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

10:21And 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.

10:29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

10:30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
