Luke 11:1-33
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.
