19: οταν δε παραδιδωσιν υμας μη μεριμνησητε πως η τι λαλησητε δοθησεται γαρ υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τι λαλησετεâ€” edit Textus Receptus
19: But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.- edit KJV text
19: But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak:â€” edit Douay text

Take no thought. That is, be not anxious, or unduly solicitous. See Barnes "Mt 6:26".

God would inspire them. This was a full promise that they should be inspired, and was a most seasonable consolation. Poor, and ignorant, and obscure fishermen would naturally be solicitous what they should say before the great men of the earth. Eastern people regarded kings as raised far above common mortals: as approaching to divinity. How consoling, then, the assurance that God would aid them, and speak within them!
