Luke 11:1-9

1It happened that while 1Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.” 2And He said to them, “2When you pray, say: ‘3Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.3Give us 4each day our 5daily bread.4And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who 6is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5Then He said to them, “7Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children 8and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ 8I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet 9because of his 10persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9“So I say to you, 1112ask, and it will be given to you; 13seek, and you will find; 14knock, and it will be opened to you.
