12 “And as you enter into a house, greet it.
13 “And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 “And whoever does not receive you nor hear your words, when you leave that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
15 “Truly, I say to you, it shall be more bearable for the land of Seḏom and Amorah in the day of judgment than for that city!
16 “See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17 “But beware of men, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrins and flog you in their congregations.
18 “And you shall be brought before governors and sovereigns for My sake, as a witness to them and to the gentiles.
