¹¹ And when they bring you to trial and deliver you over, ^(A)do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say, but say ^(B)whatever is given you in that hour, ^(C)for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

^11 (A)And when they ^(B)bring you before the synagogues and ^(C)the rulers and ^(D)the authorities, ^(E)do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself or what you should say, ^12 (F)for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
