Context of Luke 12:11

9but whoever denies me before others will be denied before the angels of God. 10Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. Whenever they bring you before synagogues and rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how you should defend yourselves or what you should say. 12For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that very hour what must be said.” 13Someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
