Luke 12:12

12 The right words will be there. The Holy Spirit will give you the right words when the time comes."

Luke 12:12 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:12

For the Holy Ghost shall teach you
Shall give both words and matter: in the same hour; instantly, immediately:

what ye ought to say;
what will be proper to be said, for the honour of Christ, the defence of the Gospel, and the confusion of enemies; (See Gill on Matthew 10:20).

Luke 12:12 In-Context

10 "If you bad-mouth the Son of Man out of misunderstanding or ignorance, that can be overlooked. But if you're knowingly attacking God himself, taking aim at the Holy Spirit, that won't be overlooked.
11 "When they drag you into their meeting places, or into police courts and before judges, don't worry about defending yourselves - what you'll say or how you'll say it.
12 The right words will be there. The Holy Spirit will give you the right words when the time comes."
13 Someone out of the crowd said, "Teacher, order my brother to give me a fair share of the family inheritance."
14 He replied, "Mister, what makes you think it's any of my business to be a judge or mediator for you?"
