In the context of <a href="/matthew/10.htm">Matthew 10</a>, Jesus is preparing His disciples for the persecution they will face as they spread the Gospel. The assurance that they will not be speaking on their own aligns with the biblical theme of God empowering His servants, as seen in <a href="/exodus/4-12.htm">Exodus 4:12</a>, where God promises Moses that He will help him speak. This reflects the idea that human weakness is made perfect in divine strength (<a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>).but the Spirit of your Father The reference to "the Spirit of your Father" highlights the intimate relationship between God and His followers. This phrase underscores the Trinitarian concept, where the Holy Spirit, sent by the Father, empowers believers. The Spirit's role is to guide, teach, and remind believers of Jesus' teachings (<a href="/john/14-26.htm">John 14:26</a>). This connection is also seen in the Old Testament, where the Spirit of God comes upon individuals to enable them for specific tasks, such as in <a href="/judges/6-34.htm">Judges 6:34</a> with Gideon.speaking through you This assurance of divine speech through the disciples is a promise of inspiration and guidance. It reflects the prophetic tradition where God's message is delivered through human agents, as seen with the prophets in the Old Testament (e.g., <a href="/jeremiah/1-9.htm">Jeremiah 1:9</a>). In the New Testament, this is fulfilled in the apostles' bold proclamation of the Gospel, as seen in <a href="/acts/4-31.htm">Acts 4:31</a>, where they spoke the word of God with boldness after being filled with the Holy Spirit.
