But when they shall lead [you], and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost.

Commentary on Mark 13:11

Theological / Devotional

Lead you. Meaning here that they would be “led away to court, to a magistrate, or to punishment” (see Matt. 10:18; Luke 21:12; Luke 22:54; Acts 25:17; etc.).

Take no thought. That is, no anxious thought; “do not be anxious” (see on Matt. 6:25 ; 10:19).

Neither do ye premeditate. See on Matt. 10:19, 20. Textual evidence attests (cf. p. 146) the omission of these words.
