Matius 10:19-20

10:19 Whenever ¹  they hand you over for trial, do not worry about how to speak or what to say, ²  for what you should say will be given to you at that time. ³  10:20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Lukas 12:11-12

12:11 But when they bring you before the synagogues, ⁴  the ⁵  rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you should make your defense ⁶  or what you should say, 12:12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment ⁷  what you must say.” ⁸ 

[10:19]  ¹ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[10:19]  ² tn Grk “how or what you might speak.”

[10:19]  ³ tn Grk “in that hour.”

[12:11]  ⁴ sn The saying looks at persecution both from a Jewish context as the mention of synagogues suggests, and from a Gentile one as the reference to the rulers and the authorities suggests.

[12:11]  sn See the note on synagogues in 4:15.

[12:11]  ⁵ tn Grk “and the,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.

[12:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “about how or what you should say in your defense,” but this is redundant with the following clause, “or what you should say.”

[12:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “in that very hour” (an idiom).

[12:12]  ⁸ tn Grk “what it is necessary to say.”
