Acknowledging the Messiah^(A)

³² “Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people I, too, will acknowledge before my Father in heaven. ³³ But whoever denies me before people I, too, will deny before my Father in heaven.”

³² Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the one to come.”

¹⁹ When they hand you over, don’t worry about how you are to speak^[a] or what you are to say, because in that hour what you are to say will be given to you. ²⁰ It won’t be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through^[b] you.
