Luke 12:12 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 12:12

For the Holy Ghost shall teach you
Shall give both words and matter: in the same hour; instantly, immediately:

what ye ought to say;
what will be proper to be said, for the honour of Christ, the defence of the Gospel, and the confusion of enemies; (See Gill on Matthew 10:20).

Luke 12:12 In-Context

10 And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven; but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you are to defend yourselves or what you are to say;
12 for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what you ought to say."
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me."
14 But he said to him, "Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?"
