Read in context

Matthew 10:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.

18 On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.

20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
