But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven. - 11 And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might say. - 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you, in the same hour, what you must say.” Catholic Public Domain Version Read in the CPDV: [The whole of Luke 12](https://blessbible.app/bible/luke/12/) Computed by Bless from the US Lectionary cycle — confirm with your parish. In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version. Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does. Spotted a wrong date, color or citation?
