Luke 12:8-12 - Acknowledgement Of Christ And Persecution Of Disciples

⁸ I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of man will acknowledge him before the angels of God; ⁹ and he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. ¹⁰ Everyone also who says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven for it, but he who blasphemes against the holy Spirit will never be forgiven. ¹¹ When they bring you before synagogues and the magistrates and authorities, do not trouble yourselves about how to defend yourselves or what to say, ¹² for the holy Spirit will teach you at that hour what you should say."
