This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Luk 21:15. Ἐγὼ, I) In Mat 10:20, this is attributed to “the Spirit of the Father;” whereas now Jesus speaks in accordance with His state in His exaltation.-δώσω, I will give) being always most immediately present with you.-στόμα, a mouth) Refer to this presently after the word ἀντειπεῖν, to gainsay. Often speech was given to the martyrs, even after their tongue had been cut out, in Africa, Belgium, etc. See Wits. Misc. T. 2, p. 901, et seqq. [Also comp. Casp. Sagittarii de martyrum cruciatibus, Ed. ii., 1696, p. 285, seqq. Add the observations made on Mar 16:17.-E. B.]-σοφἰαν, a wisdom) To this refer presently after the word ἀντιστῆναι, to resist. Wisdom is power.-ἀντικείμενοι, the adversaries) It is easy to act as adversaries of believers; it is not easy to gainsay or resist them.
