Matthew 10:16-18
Wycliffe Bible
16 Lo! I send you as sheep in the middle of wolves; therefore be ye sly as serpents, and simple as doves.[a]
17 But be ye ware of men, for they shall take you in councils, and they shall beat you in their synagogues;
18 and to mayors, or presidents, and to kings, ye shall be led for me, in witnessing to them, and to heathen men.
