Lo! I send you as sheep in the middle [or into the midst] of wolves; therefore be ye sly, [or prudent, or wary, or wise], as serpents, and simple as doves.
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and they shall give great tokens [or great signs] and wonders; so that also the chosen be led into error, if it may be done.
I said before, and say before, as present twice, and now absent, to them that before have sinned, and to all others; for if I come again, I shall not spare.
