Matthew 10:19–20
Jesus says that when they are handed over, what to say will be given them in that hour
Study it word by word19But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour.
20For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
In its context
17But beware of people; for they will hand you over to councils, and in their synagogues they will flog you;
18and you will be brought before governors and kings because of me, as a testimony to them and to the nations.
…
21And brother will hand over brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and put them to death.
22And you will be hated by all because of my name; but the one who endures to the end, this one will be saved.
