Commentary on Luke 21:14

Theological / Devotional

Meditate. Gr. promeletaō, “to practice beforehand.” This probably refers to the going over of a speech beforehand in order that upon delivery the speaker might be more familiar with it. In making their defense before “kings and rulers” the disciples were not to have set speeches they could deliver by rote. For the reason back of Christ’s admonition see on Matt. 10:19, 20.
