Matthew 10:19-22
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 When they hand you over, do not worry about how you are to speak or what you are to say. You will be given at that moment what you are to say.(A) 20 For it will not be you who speak but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 [a](B)Brother will hand over brother to death, and the father his child; children will rise up against parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by all because of my name, but whoever endures to the end[b] will be saved.

- 10:21 See Mi 7:6 which is cited in Mt 10:35, 36.
- 10:22 To the end: the original meaning was probably “until the parousia.” But it is not likely that Matthew expected no missionary disciples to suffer death before then, since he envisages the martyrdom of other Christians (Mt 10:21). For him, the end is probably that of the individual’s life (see Mt 10:28).
Luke 12:11-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
11 When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities,(A) do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say. 12 For the holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.”
