16Look, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

17But beware of people, for they will hand you over to councils, and in their synagogues they will flog you.

18And you will even be brought before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

19But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you should speak, for what you should speak will be given to you in that hour.

20For it is not you who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
