And hearing, they marveled. And leaving Him, they went away.
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
And hearing, the crowds were astonished at His doctrine.
And no one was able to answer Him a word, nor did anyone dare from that day to question Him any more.
And hearing, Jesus marveled, and said to those following, Truly I say to you, Not even in Israel did I find so much faith.
And they sought to seize Him, and feared the crowd. For they knew that He spoke the parable against them. And leaving Him, they went away.
For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all the ones opposing you will not be able to speak against nor withstand.
And they had no strength to stand against the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.
Let your word be always with grace, having been seasoned with salt, to know how you ought to answer each one.
