Luke 12:6-13 New English Translation (NET)

6. Aren’t five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.

7. In fact, even the hairs on your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

8. “I tell you, whoever acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before God’s angels.

9. But the one who denies me before men will be denied before God’s angels.

10. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but the person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11. But when they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, do not worry about how you should make your defense or what you should say,

12. for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that moment what you must say.”

13. Then someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”
