Matthew 10:16-20

¹⁶Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. ¹⁷But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. ¹⁸Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹But when they deliver you up, don`t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say. ²⁰For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
