Contextual Overview
1 And when great multitudes were assembled by myriads, so that they trod one upon another, Jesus began to say to his disciples: First of all, beware for yourselves of that leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 For there is nothing hidden, which will not be revealed; nor concealed, that will not be known. 3 For whatever ye speak in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what in secret chambers, ye whisper in the ear, will be proclaimed on the house-tops. 4 And to you, my friends, I say: Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and afterwards have nothing more they can do. 5 But I will show you, of whom to be afraid: of him who, after he hath killed, hath authority to cast into hell. Yea, say I to you: be afraid of him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assarii? and not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 And as for you, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; for ye are superior to many sparrows. 8 And I say to you, that every one that shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God. 9 But he that shall deny me before men, shall himself be denied before the angels of God. 10 And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall reproach the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when they bring you unto the synagogues,.... Of the Jews, to be examined and scourged by the rulers of them:
and unto magistrates and powers; Heathen ones; the Persic version reads, "princes and kings"; and the Ethiopic version, "princes, kings, and judges"; see Matthew 10:18
Take ye no thought how, or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say; be not anxiously concerned, neither about the manner, nor the matter of your answer, apology, and defence: in the first part of this clause, the Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, only read, "how"; and the Arabic version only, "what";
