"Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,"
— Luke 21:14, World English Bible
“Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:”
“Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate beforehand how to answer: ”
“Therefore be resolved not to rehearse ahead of time how to make your defense.”
“Lay it up therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before how you shall answer:”
“So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:”
“Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:”
There will be great earthquakes, famines, and plagues in various places. There will be terrors and great signs from heaven.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for my name's sake.
It will turn out as a testimony for you.
Settle it therefore in your hearts not to meditate beforehand how to answer,
for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.
You will be handed over even by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends. They will cause some of you to be put to death.
You will be hated by all men for my name's sake.
