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

⁸ "And I tell you that every man who shall have acknowledged me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God. ⁹ But he who disowns me before men will be disowned before the angels of God. ¹⁰ "Moreover every one who shall speak against the Son of Man, may obtain forgiveness; but he who blasphemes the Holy Spirit will never obtain forgiveness. ¹¹ And when they are bringing you before synagogues and magistrates and governors, do not anxiously ponder the manner or matter of your defence, nor what you are to say; ¹² for the Holy Spirit shall teach you at that very moment what you must say."
