... I send you like sheep among wolves: be wise as serpents and gentle as doves. Beware! they will hand you over to be flogged; you will be dragged before governors and kings ... Do not worry about what to say; it will come to you at that time ... Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against parents and have them put to death; and you will be hated ... If they persecute you in one town, flee to another ... Have no fear: everything covered will be uncovered, and every secret known. What you hear in the dark, say in the light; and what you hear in whispers, proclaim from housetops. Do not fear those who kill the body but not the soul ... Do not think that I come bringing peace to the earth; I am not bringing peace but a sword. I will man against father, and daughter against mother, and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law; one’s foes will be the members of one’s own household ...
