Matthew 10:16-18

¹⁶Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

¹⁷But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

¹⁸On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
