馬太福音 10:20

20 因 為 不 是 你 們 自 己 說 的 ， 乃 是 你 們 父 的 靈 在 你 們 裡 頭 說 的 。

馬太福音 10:20 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 10:20

For it is not ye that speak
Not but that they were to speak the words, and did; but then both the things they spoke, and the very words in which they spoke them, were not of themselves, but were suggested and dictated by the Spirit of God; for as "the preparation of the heart" in them, so "the answer of the tongue" by them, were both "from the Lord": the Spirit, he was the efficient cause, they were only instruments; for not they of themselves spoke; or not so much they,

but the Spirit of your father, which speaketh in you,
or "by you": what they should say was not to be dictated by their own spirit or natural understanding, nor by an angel, but by the Spirit of God; called the "Spirit of" their "father", because he proceeds from him, is of the same nature with him, and is the reason of his being given to them: and this character of him might serve to strengthen their faith in the expectation of him, and in the assistance promised, and to be had by him; since he was the spirit of him, who stood in the relation of a father to them, and bore a paternal affection for them.

馬太福音 10:20 In-Context

18 並 且 你 們 要 為 我 的 緣 故 被 送 到 諸 侯 君 王 面 前 ， 對 他 們 和 外 邦 人 作 見 證 。

19 你 們 被 交 的 時 候 ， 不 要 思 慮 怎 樣 說 話 ， 或 說 甚 麼 話 。 到 那 時 候 ， 必 賜 給 你 們 當 說 的 話 ；

20 因 為 不 是 你 們 自 己 說 的 ， 乃 是 你 們 父 的 靈 在 你 們 裡 頭 說 的 。

21 弟 兄 要 把 弟 兄 ， 父 親 要 把 兒 子 ， 送 到 死 地 ； 兒 女 要 與 父 母 為 敵 ， 害 死 他 們 ；

22 並 且 你 們 要 為 我 的 名 被 眾 人 恨 惡 。 惟 有 忍 耐 到 底 的 必 然 得 救 。
