Luke 12:8-12

Contemporary English Version

Telling Others about Christ

(Matthew 10.32,33; 12.32; 10.19,20)

⁸ If you tell others that you belong to me, the Son of Man will tell God's angels that you are my followers. ⁹ But if you reject me, you will be rejected in front of them. ^10 (A) If you speak against the Son of Man, you can be forgiven, but if you speak against the Holy Spirit, you cannot be forgiven.

^11 (B) When you are brought to trial in the synagogues or before rulers or officials, don't worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say. ¹² At that time the Holy Spirit will tell you what to say.
