Matthew 10:17

15 Assuredly, I say to you, ^ait will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Persecutions Are Coming

16 ^a“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. ^bTherefore be wise as serpents and ^charmless as doves.

17 But beware of men, for ^athey will deliver you up to councils and ^bscourge you in their synagogues.

18 ^aYou will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

19 ^aBut when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For ^bit will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;

20 ^afor it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
