Confess Christ Before Men

8 ^a“Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me ^bbefore men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God.

9 But he who ^adenies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

10 “And ^aanyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

11 ^a“Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say.

12 For the Holy Spirit will ^ateach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
