Luke 11

1And it cameG1096 to passG1096, as he wasG1510 prayingG4336 in a certainG5100 placeG5117, that whenG5613 he ceasedG3973, oneG5100 of his disciplesG3101 saidG3004 unto him, LordG2962, teachG1321 us to prayG4336, evenG2532 as JohnG2491 alsoG2532 taughtG1321 his disciplesG3101. 2And he saidG3004 unto them, WhenG3752 ye prayG4336, sayG3004, FatherG3962, HallowedG37 be thy nameG3686. Thy kingdomG932 comeG2064. 3GiveG1325 us dayG2250 by dayG2250 our dailyG1967 breadG740. 4And forgiveG863 us our sinsG266; for we ourselves alsoG2532 forgiveG863 every oneG3588 that is indebted to us. And bringG1533 us not into temptationG3986.

5And he saidG3004 unto them, Which of you shall have a friendG5384, and shall goG4198 unto him at midnightG3317, and sayG3004 to him, FriendG5384, lend me threeG5140 loavesG740; 6for a friendG5384 of mineG1473 is comeG3854 to me from a journeyG3598, and I have nothing to setG3908 before him; 7and he from within shall answerG611 and sayG3004, Trouble me not: the doorG2374 isG1510 now shutG2808, and my childrenG3813 areG1510 with me in bedG2845; I cannot riseG450 and giveG1325 thee? 8I sayG3004 unto you, Though he will not riseG450 and giveG1325 him because he isG1510 his friendG5384, yet because of his importunity he will ariseG1453 and giveG1325 him as manyG3745 as he needeth. 9And I sayG3004 unto you, AskG154, and it shall be givenG1325 you; seekG2212, and ye shall findG2147; knockG2925, and it shall be openedG455 unto you. 10For every oneG3588 that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be openedG455. 11And of which of you that is a fatherG3962 shall his sonG5207 askG154 a loafG740, and he giveG1929 him a stoneG3037? or a fishG2486, and he for a fishG2486 giveG1929 him a serpentG3789? 12Or if he shall askG154 an egg, will he giveG1929 him a scorpionG4651? 13If ye thenG3767, being evilG4190, know howG4214 to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 unto your childrenG5043, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 shall your heavenly FatherG3962 giveG1325 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to them that askG154 him?

14And he wasG1510 casting out a demonG1140 that wasG1510 dumb. And it cameG1096 to passG1096, when the demonG1140 wasG1510 goneG1831 out, the dumb manG2974 spake; and the multitudesG3793 marvelled. 15But some of them saidG3004, By Beelzebub the princeG758 of the demonsG1140 casteth he out demonsG1140. 16And othersG2087, trying him, soughtG2212 of him a signG4592 from heavenG3772. 17But he, knowing their thoughts, saidG3004 unto them, Every kingdomG932 dividedG1266 against itself is brought to desolation; and a houseG3624 dividedG1266 against a houseG3624 falleth. 18And if SatanG4567 alsoG2532 is dividedG1266 against himself, howG4459 shall his kingdomG932 standG2476? because ye sayG3004 that I castG1544 out demonsG1140 by Beelzebub. 19And if I by Beelzebub castG1544 out demonsG1140, by whom do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them out? therefore shall they beG1510 your judgesG2923. 20But if I by the fingerG1147 of GodG2316 castG1544 out demonsG1140, thenG1161 is the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 comeG5348 upon you. 21WhenG3752 the strongG2478 manG2478 fully armed guardeth his ownG1438 courtG833, his goods areG1510 in peaceG1515: 22but when a strongerG2478 than he shall comeG1904 upon him, and overcomeG3528 him, he taketh from him his whole armorG3833 wherein he trustedG3982, and divideth his spoils. 23He that isG1510 not with me isG1510 against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. 24The uncleanG169 spiritG4151 whenG3752 he is goneG1831 out of the manG444, passeth through waterlessG504 placesG5117, seekingG2212 restG372, and findingG2147 none, he saith, I will turnG5290 backG5290 unto my houseG3624 whence I cameG1831 out. 25And when he is comeG2064, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26Then goeth he, and taketh to him sevenG2033 otherG2087 spiritsG4151 moreG4190 evilG4190 than himself; and they enterG1525 in and dwellG2730 there: and the lastG2078 state of that manG444 becometh worse than the firstG4413.

27And it cameG1096 to passG1096, as he saidG3004 these thingsG3778, a certainG5100 womanG1135 out of the multitudeG3793 liftedG1869 up her voiceG5456, and saidG3004 unto him, Blessed is the wombG2836 that bare thee, and the breastsG3149 which thou didst suck. 28But he saidG3004, Yea ratherG3304, blessed are they that hearG191 the wordG3056 of GodG2316, and keepG5442 it.

29And when the multitudesG3793 wereG1510 gathering together unto him, he beganG757 to sayG3004, This generationG1074 isG1510 an evilG4190 generationG1074: it seeketh after a signG4592; and there shall no signG4592 beG1510 givenG1325 to it but the signG4592 of JonahG2495. 30For evenG2532 as JonahG2495 becameG1096 a signG4592 unto the NinevitesG3536, so shall alsoG2532 the SonG5207 of manG444 beG1510 to this generationG1074. 31The queenG938 of the southG3558 shall riseG1453 up in the judgmentG2920 with the menG435 of this generationG1074, and shall condemnG2632 them: for she cameG2064 from the endsG4009 of the earthG1093 to hearG191 the wisdomG4678 of SolomonG4672; and beholdG2400, a greaterG4183 than SolomonG4672 is hereG5602. 32The menG435 of Nineveh shall standG450 up in the judgmentG2920 with this generationG1074, and shall condemnG2632 it: for they repentedG3340 at the preachingG2782 of JonahG2495; and beholdG2400, a greaterG4183 than JonahG2495 is hereG5602.

33No man, when he hath lighted a lampG3088, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enterG1531 in may seeG991 the lightG5338. 34The lampG3088 of thy bodyG4983 isG1510 thine eyeG3788: whenG3752 thine eyeG3788 isG1510 single, thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 alsoG2532 isG1510 full of lightG5460; but whenG3752 it isG1510 evilG4190, thy bodyG4983 alsoG2532 isG1510 full of darkness. 35Look thereforeG3767 whether the lightG5457 that isG1510 in thee beG1510 not darknessG4655. 36If thereforeG3767 thy wholeG3650 bodyG4983 beG1510 full of lightG5461, having no partG3313 darkG4652, it shall beG1510 wholly full of lightG5461, as whenG3752 the lampG3088 with its bright shining doth give thee lightG5461.

37NowG1161 as he spake, a PhariseeG5330 asketh him to dine with him: and he wentG1525 in, and sat downG377 to meat. 38And when the PhariseeG5330 sawG3708 it, he marvelled that he had not firstG4413 bathed himself before dinnerG712. 39And the LordG2962 saidG3004 unto him, NowG1161 ye the PhariseesG5330 cleanseG2511 the outsideG1855 of the cupG4221 and of the platterG4094; but your inward part is fullG1073 of extortion and wickednessG4189. 40Ye foolishG878 ones, did not he that madeG4160 the outsideG1855 makeG4160 the insideG2081 alsoG2532? 41But giveG1325 for almsG1654 those thingsG3956 which areG1510 within; and beholdG2400, all thingsG3956 areG1510 cleanG2513 unto you.

42But woeG3759 unto you PhariseesG5330! for ye tithe mintG2238 and rue and every herb, and passG3928 over justiceG2920 and the loveG26 of GodG2316: but these oughtG1163 ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 43WoeG3759 unto you PhariseesG5330! for ye loveG25 the chief seatsG4410 in the synagoguesG4864, and the salutations in the marketplaces. 44WoeG3759 unto you! for ye areG1510 as the tombsG3419 which appear not, and the menG444 that walkG4043 over them know it not.

45And oneG5100 of the lawyersG3544 answeringG611 saith unto him, TeacherG1320, in sayingG3004 this thou reproachest us alsoG2532. 46And he saidG3004, WoeG3759 unto you lawyersG3544 alsoG2532! for ye load menG444 with burdensG5413 grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdensG5413 with oneG1520 of your fingersG1147. 47WoeG3759 unto you! for ye buildG3618 the tombsG3419 of the prophetsG4396, and your fathersG3962 killedG615 them. 48So ye areG1510 witnessesG3144 and consent unto the worksG2041 of your fathersG3962: for they killedG615 them, and ye buildG3618 their tombs. 49Therefore alsoG2532 saidG3004 the wisdomG4678 of GodG2316, I will sendG649 unto them prophetsG4396 and apostlesG652; and some of them they shall killG615 and persecuteG1377; 50that the bloodG129 of all the prophetsG4396, which was shed from the foundationG2602 of the worldG2889, may be required of this generationG1074; 51from the bloodG129 of AbelG6 unto the bloodG129 of Zachariah, who perishedG622 between the altarG2379 and the sanctuary: yea, I sayG3004 unto you, it shall be required of this generationG1074. 52WoeG3759 unto you lawyersG3544! for ye tookG142 awayG142 the keyG2807 of knowledgeG1108: ye enteredG1525 not in yourselves, and them that were enteringG1525 in ye hinderedG2967.

53And when he was comeG1831 out from thence, the scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 beganG757 to press upon him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of manyG4183 thingsG4183; 54laying wait for him, to catch somethingG5100 out of his mouthG4750.
