8 “I’m telling you that everyone who admits in public to following me, so too humanity’s child will tell your name to God’s messengers, 9 but anyone who disowns me in public will be disowned in front of God’s messengers.

10 [ref]“Everyone who says something against humanity’s child will be forgiven, but those who speak against the holy spirit won’t be forgiven.

11 [ref]“Whenever you get dragged into the meeting halls or in front of rulers or authorities, don’t worry about how you’ll defend yourselves or what you’ll say, 12 because the holy spirit will show you all the right thing to say at the right time.”
