[This will give you an opportunity] for witnessing to them [as well] as to the [unconverted] Gentiles. 19 But when they turn you over [to them], do not worry about how to speak or what you should say. For you will be told [i.e., by God] what to say at the right time. 20 For it will not be you who speaks, but [rather] the Holy Spirit of your Father will be speaking in you.
