Luke 21:15 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Which all your adversaries shall not, &c.— "I will suggest to you such sentiments, and enable you to deliver them with such eloquence, that your defences shall be unanswerable; and your adversaries shall be struck with them, especially when they find by your manner that you have spoken them without premeditation." Of the completion of this promise we have evident examples in the defences made by the proto-martyr St. Stephen, and by St. Paul, especially before king Agrippa, and the Roman governors. But there is no need to insist upon particulars; the prevalency of the gospel, wherever it reached, demonstrates, beyond all doubt, that the defences made by the preachers thereof were unanswerable. See on Matthew 10:19-20.

Luke 21:15

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
