12 When you go into a house, say, ‘Peace!’
13 If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if the house isn’t worthy, take back your blessing.
14 If anyone refuses to welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or city.
15 I assure you that it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day than it will be for that city.
16 “Look, I’m sending you as sheep among wolves. Therefore, be wise as snakes and innocent as doves.
17 Watch out for people—because they will hand you over to councils and they will beat you in their synagogues.
18 They will haul you in front of governors and even kings because of me so that you may give your testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
