Matthew 10:16 in Context — Matthew 10
14 E quem quer que não vos receber, nem ouvir vossas palavras, quando sairdes daquela casa ou cidade, sacudi o pó de vossos pés.
15 Em verdade vos digo que no dia do julgamento mais tolerável será para a região de Sodoma e Gomorra do que para aquela cidade.
16 Eis que eu vos envio como ovelhas em meio de lobos; portanto, sede prudentes como as serpentes e inofensivos como pombas.
17 Porém tende cuidado com as pessoas; porque vos entregarão em tribunais, e vos açoitarão em suas sinagogas;
18 E até perante governadores e reis sereis levados por causa de mim, para que haja testemunho a eles e aos gentios.
