MARK 13:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.”
Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what you will say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit — the Spirit-provision promise for the trial moment directly addresses the disciple's greatest anxiety: what will I say when I stand before the authorities? Do not worry beforehand: the anxiety is explicitly prohibited. The Spirit will provide the words at the time — not a preparation, not a script, but a present-moment provision.
