Luke 21:12-15
New English Translation
12 But before all this,[a] they will seize[b] you and persecute you, handing you over to the synagogues[c] and prisons. You[d] will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. 13 This will be a time for you to serve as witnesses.[e] 14 Therefore be resolved[f] not to rehearse[g] ahead of time how to make your defense. 15 For I will give you the words[h] along with the wisdom[i] that none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.
