Luke 12:11

11 Whenever they bring you before synagogues and rulers and authorities, don't worry about how you should defend yourselves or what you should 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).

9 but whoever denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10 Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11 Whenever they bring you before synagogues and rulers and authorities, don't worry about how you should defend yourselves or what you should say.

12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what must be said."
