Gospel LK 12:8-12  Jesus said to his disciples:  "I tell you, everyone who recognizes me before others, the Son of Man will recognize before the angels of God. But whoever rejects me before others will be rejected before the angels of God.  "Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the one who speaks in a way that shows irreverence for God against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. When they take you before synagogues and before rulers and authorities, do not worry about how or what your defense will be or about what you are to say.  For the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you should say.
