Matthew 10:13-18

13If it is a family that listens to you, allow your greeting to stand. But if it is not receptive, take back your greeting.

14If anyone doesn’t welcome you or listen to what you say, leave that house or city, and shake its dust off your feet.

15I can guarantee this truth: Judgment day will be better for Sodom and Gomorrah than for that city.

16“I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as cunning as snakes but as innocent as doves.

17Watch out for people who will hand you over to the Jewish courts and whip you in their synagogues.

18Because of me you will even be brought in front of governors and kings to testify to them and to everyone in the world.
