14 So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

Luke 21:14 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 21:14

Settle it therefore in your hearts
Resolve on this in your minds, and let it be a rule never to be departed from: not to meditate before what you shall answer;
not to sit down, and study a form of words, and scheme of things, what to reply to the ensnaring questions, that may be thought would be asked, by kings and rulers, or any of the judges before whom they should be brought; it being natural for persons, especially of a low life, to be timorous and fearful, to appear before such great personages, and to be thoughtful and solicitous what to say to any question that may be asked them; (See Gill on Matthew 10:19).

Luke 21:14 In-Context

12 But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

13 And it will be turned to a witness for you.

14 So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

15 For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

16 But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.
