Matthew 10:13-17

New King James Version

^13 (A)If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. ^(B)But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. ^14 (C)And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, ^(D)shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Assuredly, I say to you, ^(E)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Persecutions Are Coming^(F)

^16 (G)“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. ^(H)Therefore be wise as serpents and ^(I)harmless^[a] as doves. ¹⁷ But beware of men, for ^(J)they will deliver you up to councils and ^(K)scourge you in their synagogues.
