Matthew 10:13-18

13If it turns out to be a worthy home, let your blessing stand; if it is not, take back the blessing.

14If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave.

15I tell you the truth, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be better off than such a town on the judgment day.

16“Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves.

17But beware! For you will be handed over to the courts and will be flogged with whips in the synagogues.

18You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are my followers. But this will be your opportunity to tell the rulers and other unbelievers about me.
