Alertness » What to be aware of
I am sending you out like sheep among wolves; so be wise like serpents and guileless like doves. Beware of men, they will hand you over to sanhedrins and scourge you in their synagogues, and you will be haled before governors and kings for my sake ??it will be a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
Beware of false prophets; they come to you with the garb of sheep but at heart they are ravenous wolves.
