Luke 12:11

11 And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:

Luke 12:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:11

And when they bring you unto the synagogues
Of the Jews, to be examined and scourged by the rulers of them:

and unto magistrates and powers;
Heathen ones; the Persic version reads, "princes and kings"; and the Ethiopic version, "princes, kings, and judges"; see ( Matthew 10:18 )

Take ye no thought how, or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye
shall say;
be not anxiously concerned, neither about the manner, nor the matter of your answer, apology, and defence: in the first part of this clause, the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, only read, "how"; and the Arabic version only, "what"; (See Gill on Matthew 10:19).

Luke 12:11 In-Context

9 But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

10 And if anyone says a word against the Son of man, he will have forgiveness: but for him who says evil words against the Holy Spirit, there will be no forgiveness.

11 And when they take you before the Synagogues and the authorities and the rulers, take no thought about what answers you will give, or what you will say:

12 For the Holy Spirit will make clear to you in that very hour what to say.

13 And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me.
