Read in context

Matthew 10:12–16 · Berean Standard Bible

12 As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13 If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14 And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16 Behold, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
