Matthew 10:16

Persecution of Disciples

10:16 “I¹ am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves,² so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Matthew 10:28

Context
10:28 Do³ not be afraid of those who kill the body⁴ but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.⁵

¹tn Grk “Behold I.” The Greek word ἰδού (idou) has not been translated because it has no exact English equivalent here, but adds interest and emphasis (BDAG 468 s.v. 1).

²sn This imagery of wolves is found in intertestamental Judaism; see Pss. Sol. 8:23, 30.

³tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

⁴sn Judaism had a similar exhortation in 4 Macc 13:14-15.

⁵sn See the note on the word hell in 5:22.
