New American Standard Bible 1995

Matthew 10:13-18

13If the house is worthy, 1give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, 2take back your blessing of peace. 14Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, 3shake the dust off your feet. 15Truly I say to you, 4it will be more tolerable for the land of 5Sodom and Gomorrah in 6the day of judgment than for that city.

16“7Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so 8be 9shrewd as serpents and 10innocent as doves. 17But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the 11courts and scourge you 12in their synagogues; 18and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
