Matthew 10:17-24

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.

19When they hand you over ⌞to the authorities⌟, don’t worry about what to say or how to say it. When the time comes, you will be given what to say.

20Indeed, you’re not the ones who will be speaking. The Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.

21“Brother will hand over brother to death; a father will hand over his child. Children will rebel against their parents and kill them.

22Everyone will hate you because you are committed to me. But the person who patiently endures to the end will be saved.

23So when they persecute you in one city, flee to another. I can guarantee this truth: Before you have gone through every city in Israel, the Son of Man will come.

24“A student is not better than his teacher. Nor is a slave better than his owner.
