16 ΒΆ Behold, I send you foorth as sheepe in the middest of wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and harmelesse as doues.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and they will scourge you in their Synagogues,
18 And yee shall be brought before Gouernours and Kings for my sake, for a testimonie against them, and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought, how or what ye shall speake, for it shall bee giuen you in that same houre what ye shall speake.
20 For it is not yee that speake, but the Spirit of your Father, which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliuer vp the brother to death, and the father the childe: and the children shall rise vp against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And yee shall be hated of all men for my Names sake: but he that endureth to the end, shalbe saued.
23 But when they persecute you in this citie, flee ye into another: for verely I say vnto you, ye shall not haue gone ouer the cities of Israel, till the Sonne of man be come.
24 The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the seruant as his Lord: If they haue called the Master of the house of Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
