But when they lead you away and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand, or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

And you will be hated by everyone on account of My name. But he who endures to the end shall be kept safe.

Now when they bring you to the synagogues and rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.

Therefore settle it in your hearts not to premeditate a defense;

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.

Therefore I say to you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

Therefore do not be anxious, saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or What shall we wear?

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.

And you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.

But Jehovah said to me, Do not say, I am a youth; for you shall go to all to whom I shall send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.

And Jehovah put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

But even if not, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods nor prostrate ourselves before the golden image which you have set up.

Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel:

let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in Him this man stands here before you whole.

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under Heaven given among men that is required for us to be saved.

And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.

But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: We ought to obey God rather than men.

Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins.

When they heard this, they were cut to the heart and took counsel to do away with them.

And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

I think myself happy, King Agrippa, because today I shall give a defense before you concerning all the things of which I am accused by the Jews,

My manner of life from my youth, which was spent from the beginning among my own nation at Jerusalem, all the Jews know.

And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made by God to our fathers.

Why should it be thought incredible by you if God raises the dead?

This I also did in Jerusalem, and many of the saints I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I cast my vote against them.

But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that the preaching of the message might be fulfilled through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. And I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.
