with diligence who in it is worthy; and there abide until ye go from there.
12
And entering into the house, salute it.
13
And if the house is worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it is not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
14
And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear your words, depart out of that house or city and shake off the dust of your feet.

Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of those of Sodom and those of Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore prudent as serpents and innocent as doves.
17
But keep yourselves from men, for they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18
and ye shall even be brought before princes and kings for my sake, for testimony unto them and to the Gentiles.
19
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
