Matthew 10:15-20 (The Message)
15
You can be sure that on Judgment Day they'll be mighty sorry - but it's no concern of yours now.
16
"Stay alert. This is hazardous work I'm assigning you. You're going to be like sheep running through a wolf pack, so don't call attention to yourselves. Be as cunning as a snake, inoffensive as a dove.
17
"Don't be naive. Some people will impugn your motives, others will smear your reputation - just because you believe in me.
18
Don't be upset when they haul you before the civil authorities. Without knowing it, they've done you - and me - a favor, given you a platform for preaching the kingdom news!
19
And don't worry about what you'll say or how you'll say it. The right words will be there;
20
the Spirit of your Father will supply the words.
