Context of Luke 12:10

8I can guarantee that the Son of Man will acknowledge in front of God’s angels every person who acknowledges him in front of others. 9But God’s angels will be told that I don’t know those people who tell others that they don’t know me. Everyone who says something against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But the person who dishonors the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11“When you are put on trial in synagogues or in front of rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say. 12At that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you must say.”
