ἐγὼ, I, emphatic, the exalted Lord, instead of “the Holy Spirit” in Mk. and “the Spirit of the Father” in Matthew 10:20. The substitution bears witness to the inspiring effect of the thought of the Lord Jesus ruling in heaven on the minds of Christians enduring tribulation, at the time when Lk. wrote. στόμα, a mouth = utterance. σοφίαν : the wisest thing to say in the actual situation. ἀντιστῆναι refers to στόμα, and ἀντειπεῖν to σοφίαν = “They will not be able to gainsay your speech nor to resist your wisdom” (Farrar, C. G. T.).
