8"And I tell you, 1everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man also will acknowledge 2before the angels of God,
9
but 3the one who denies me before men 4will be denied 5before the angels of God.
10
And 6everyone who speaks a word 7against the Son of Man 8will be forgiven, but the one who 9blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11
10And when they 11bring you before the synagogues and 12the rulers and 13the authorities, 14do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say,
12
15for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say."
