Context of Luke 12:11

9But he that denieth me before men shall be denied before the angels of God. 10And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven. And when they bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not anxious how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say: 12For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say. 13And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
