Matthew 10:16-25

Revised Geneva Translation

¹⁶ “Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of the wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

¹⁷ “But beware of men. For they will deliver you up to the councils and will scourge you in their synagogues.

¹⁸ “And you shall be brought to the governors and kings for My sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles.

¹⁹ “But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak. For what you shall say will be given to you at that hour.

²⁰ “For it is not you who speak. But the Spirit of your Father speaks in you.

²¹ “And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son. And the children shall rise against their parents and shall cause them to die.

²² “And you shall be hated by all for My Name. But the one who endures to the end, he shall be saved.

²³ “And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, you shall not have completed all the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

²⁴ “The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his Lord.

²⁵ “It is enough for the disciple to be as his master is, and the servant as his Lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?
