The Context of the Verse

Jesus’ words in Mark 13:11 come in the middle of what is often called the Olivet Discourse. Here, Jesus is preparing His disciples for future trials—times when they would be dragged before councils, rulers, and authorities for the sake of His name.

He says:

“When they bring you to trial and deliver you over, do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.”(Mark 13:11, ESV)

This is not just general advice about public speaking. It is a promise of divine help for moments when believers are pressed, threatened, or persecuted because of their faith.
