14 "Some people may not welcome you or listen to your words. If they don't, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

16 "I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes and as harmless as doves.
17 "Watch out! Men will hand you over to the local courts. They will whip you in their synagogues.
