^{13 Ref} And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

^{14 Ref} And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.

^{16 Ref} See, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Be then as wise as snakes, and as gentle as doves.

^{17 Ref} But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;

^{18 Ref} And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
