11 But when they
lead you, and deliver you up, be not careful before hand, neither
study what ye shall say: but what is given you at the same time, that
speak: for it is not you that speak, but the holy Ghost.
Brethren:
As has been written
all Scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit, it is all inspired by
God Himself. (Read Job 32:8; 2 Timothy; 2 Peter 2:10). So when we are
confronted with those that believe not as we do, we are well armed as
what to say. The simplest thing this editor can suggest is speak the
truth of the Gospel of Christ. It is a Gospel of redemption, of grace
and of mercy and is to benefit all mankind. - Dr. RVZ
“That,
when they were brought before kings and governors for Christ’s
sake, they should have special assistance from heaven, to plead
Christ’s cause and their own [that is to say]; “Take no thought
before-hand what he shall speak, be not solicitous how to address
yourselves to great men, so as to obtain their favour; your cause is
just and glorious, and needs not be supported by premeditated
speeches and harangues; but whatsoever shall be given you in that
hour, whatsoever shall be suggested to you, and put into your minds,
and into your mouths” (pro re natâ—on the spur of the occasion),
“that speak ye, and fear not the success of it, because it is
off-hand, for it is not ye that speak, purely by the strength of your
own wisdom, consideration, and resolution, but it is the Holy Ghost.”
Note, Those whom Christ calls out to be advocates for him, shall be
furnished with full instructions: and when we are engaged in the
service of Christ, we may depend upon the aids of the Spirit of
Christ” - Matthew Henry 17th
