14 And whoever does not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you are going out of that house or that town.
15 Truly I say to you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
16 “Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17 But beware of people, because they will hand you over to councils, and they will flog you in their synagogues.
18 And you will be brought before both governors and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 But whenever they hand you over, do not be anxious how to speak or what you should say, for what you should say will be given to you at that hour.
20 For you are not the ones who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father who is speaking through you.
