And if some home or town will not welcome you or listen to you, then leave that place and shake the dust off your feet.

When they persecute you in one town, run away to another one. I assure you that you will not finish your work in all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

Then those who are in Judea must run away to the hills; those who are in the city must leave, and those who are out in the country must not go into the city.

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that he will forgive your sins. If you do,

If I sent you to great nations that spoke difficult languages you didn't understand, they would listen to you.

But none of the people of Israel will be willing to listen; they will not even listen to me. All of them are stubborn and defiant.
