9But you must be on your guard. You will be handed over to courts and beaten in synagogues, and you will be brought before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them.

10And the good news must first be proclaimed to all the nations.

11When they lead you away and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Instead, say whatever is given to you in that hour, for it is not you who are speaking, but the Holy Spirit.
