15Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.
16See, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Be then as wise as snakes, and as gentle as doves.
17But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;
18And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;
20Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.
21And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.
