Matthew 10:16-18

21st Century King James Version

¹⁶ “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

¹⁷ But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues,

¹⁸ and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
