Isaiah 40:28-31

New International Version

²⁸Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?^(A)
The Lord is the everlasting^(B) God,
    the Creator^(C) of the ends of the earth.^(D)
He will not grow tired or weary,^(E)
    and his understanding no one can fathom.^(F)
²⁹He gives strength^(G) to the weary^(H)
    and increases the power of the weak.
³⁰Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men^(I) stumble and fall;^(J)
³¹but those who hope^(K) in the Lord
    will renew their strength.^(L)
They will soar on wings like eagles;^(M)
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint.^(N)

Matthew 10:16-22

New International Version

¹⁶“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.^(A) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.^(B) ¹⁷Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils^(C) and be flogged in the synagogues.^(D) ¹⁸On my account you will be brought before governors and kings^(E) as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it.^(F) At that time you will be given what to say, ²⁰for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father^(G) speaking through you.

²¹“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents^(H) and have them put to death.^(I) ²²You will be hated by everyone because of me,^(J) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.^(K)
