Matthew 10:23 - When they persecute you in one town, flee to another. Amen, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man returns.
Well, not sure what to say about this. Except, again, we are allowed to leave when we are not granted hospitality or are in fact persecuted. There is therefore an element of bodily autonomy in these passages. There is no request to become a martyr. Rather Jesus give permission to take care of ourselves.
