Luke 12:8-12
Wycliffe Bible
8 Truly I say to you, each man that acknowledgeth me before men [Truly I say to you, whoever shall acknowledge me before men], man's Son shall acknowledge him before the angels of God.
9 But he that denieth me before men, shall be denied before the angels of God.
10 And each that saith a word against man's Son, it shall be forgiven to him; but it shall not be forgiven to him, that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost. [And each that saith a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven to him; he that shall blaspheme into the Holy Ghost, soothly it shall not be forgiven to him.]
11 And when they lead you into synagogues, and to magistrates, and potentates, do not ye be busy, how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say.
12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in that hour, what it behooveth you to say.

11 When they bring you before the synagogues, and before the rulers and officers, take no thought how or what thing to answer, or what you will say. 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you ought to say.
