Mark 13:11
Compare all
9 “But awatch out for yourselves, for they will deliver you up to councils, and you will be beaten in the synagogues. You will1 be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony to them.  
10 And athe gospel must first be preached to all the nations.  
11 aBut when they arrest you and deliver you up, do not worry beforehand,1 or premeditate what you will speak. But whatever is given you in that hour, speak that; for it is not you who speak, bbut the Holy Spirit.  
12 Now abrother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.  
13 aAnd you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But bhe who endures to the end shall be saved.  

The Great Tribulation

14 a“So when you see the b‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not” (let the reader understand), “then clet those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.  
15 Let him who is on the housetop not go down into the house, nor enter to take anything out of his house.

Barnes' Notes
<< Mark 13:10   Mark 13:12 >>


Mark 13:11

Neither do ye premeditate - Do not think beforehand, or "prepare" an answer. You know not what the accusations will be, and God will furnish you with a reply that shall be adapted to the occasion.

Not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit - This is a full promise that they should be inspired, and consequently their defenses recorded in the Acts of the Apostles are the words of the Holy Spirit. There could be no more explicit promise that they should be under an infallible guidance, and we are not left to doubt that they were taught of God. At the same time, this was a most desirable and gracious aid. They were illiterate, unknown, without power. They were unfit of themselves to make the important statements of religion which were requisite, but God gave them power, and they spake with a wisdom, fearlessness, pungency, and ability which no other men have ever manifested - full proof that these illiterate fishermen were under the influence of the Holy Spirit.
