Luke 11:4-22

4and remit us our sins, for we also remit to every one indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.

5And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,

6since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;

7and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give [it] thee?

8— I say to you, Although he will not get up and give [them] to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.

9And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

10For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.

11But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and [the father] shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?

12or if also he shall ask an egg, shall give him a scorpion?

13If therefore ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

14And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, the demon being gone out, the dumb [man] spoke. And the crowds wondered.

15But some from among them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casts he out demons.

16And others tempting [him] sought from him a sign out of heaven.

17But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation: and a house set against a house falls;

18and if also Satan is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom subsist? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.

19But if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, your sons — by whom do they cast [them] out? For this reason they shall be your judges.

20But if by the finger of 1God I cast out demons, then the kingdom of 2God is come upon you.

21When the strong [man] armed keeps his own house, his goods are in peace;

22but when the stronger than he coming upon [him] overcomes him, he takes away his panoply in which he trusted, and he will divide the spoil [he has taken] from him.
