Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves.

Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.

Now go, and remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.

Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.

Go; behold, I am sending you out like lambs in the midst of wolves.

Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

Go your ways; behold, I send you forth as lambs in the midst of wolves.

Now go; I’m sending you out like lambs among wolves.

Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.

Go! I am sending you out like lambs surrounded by wolves.

Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs among wolves.

“ I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes and as harmless as doves.

I know that after I leave, wild wolves will come in among you. They won’t spare any of the sheep.

Remember what I told you. I said,‘ A slave is not more important than his master.’( John 13:16) If people hated me and tried to hurt me, they will do the same to you. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also.

He said,“ Son of man, I am sending you to the people of Israel. That nation has refused to obey me. They have turned against me. They and their people of long ago have been against me to this day.The people I am sending you to are very stubborn. Tell them,‘ Here is what the Lord and King says.’They might listen, or they might not. After all, they refuse to obey me. But whether they listen or not, they will know that a prophet was among them.Son of man, do not be afraid of them or of what they say. Do not be afraid, even if thorns and bushes are all around you. Do not be afraid, even if you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say. Do not be terrified by them. They always refuse to obey me.

“ Watch out for false prophets. They come to you pretending to be sheep. But on the inside they are hungry wolves.

You will be thrown out of the synagogue. In fact, the time is coming when someone may kill you. And they will think they are doing God a favor.

Many enemies are all around me. They are like strong bulls from the land of Bashan.They are like roaring lions that tear to pieces what they kill. They open their mouths wide to attack me.My strength is like water that is poured out on the ground. I feel as if my bones aren’t connected. My heart has turned to wax. It has melted away inside me.My mouth is dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. You bring me down to the edge of the grave.A group of sinful people has closed in on me. They are all around me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and my feet.

Jerusalem’s officials are like roaring lions. Their rulers are like wolves that hunt in the evening. They don’t leave anything to eat in the morning.

The hired man is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when the hired man sees the wolf coming, he leaves the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.

He asked the priest for letters to the synagogues in Damascus. He wanted to find men and women who belonged to the Way of Jesus. The letters would allow him to take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

Save me from the mouths of those lions. Save me from the horns of those wild oxen.

You will be hated by everyone because of me. But anyone who remains strong in the faith will be saved.

I will show him how much he must suffer for me.”
