Definitions for Luke 21:15
Clarke's Luke 21:15 Bible Commentary
I will give you a mouth and wisdom - Στομα, a mouth, must appear plain to every person to be used here for a ready utterance, or eloquence in speaking. They shall have an abundance of wisdom to know what to say; and they shall have an irresistible eloquence to say what they ought.
Barnes's Luke 21:15 Bible Commentary
A mouth - Eloquence, ability to speak as the case may demand. Compare Exodus 4:11.
Gainsay - Speak against. They will not be able to "reply" to it, or to "resist" the force of what you shall say.
