12 When you enter that home, say, ‘Peace be with you.’
13 If the people there welcome you, let your peace stay there. But if they don’t welcome you, take back the peace you wished for them.
14 And if a home or town refuses to welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake its dust off your feet.
15 I tell you the truth, on the Judgment Day it will be better for the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah than for the people of that town.
16 “Listen, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as clever as snakes and as innocent as doves.
17 Be careful of people, because they will arrest you and take you to court and whip you in their synagogues.
18 Because of me you will be taken to stand before governors and kings, and you will tell them and the non-Jewish people about me.
