10:16 “I ¹  am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, ²  so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 10:17 Beware ³  of people, because they will hand you over to councils ⁴  and flog ⁵  you in their synagogues. ⁶  10:18 And you will be brought before governors and kings ⁷  because of me, as a witness to them and the Gentiles. 10:19 Whenever ⁸  they hand you over for trial, do not worry about how to speak or what to say, ⁹  for what you should say will be given to you at that time. ¹⁰  10:20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
