Luke 11:1-13

1It happenedG1096 that whileG1722 1Jesus was prayingG4336 in a certainG5100 placeG5117, afterG5613 He had finishedG3973, oneG5100 of His disciplesG3101 saidG3004 to Him, “LordG2962, teachG1321 us to prayG4336 justG2531 as JohnG2491 alsoG2532 taughtG1321 his disciplesG3101.” 2And He saidG3004 to them, “2WhenG3752 you prayG4336, sayG3004: ‘3FatherG3962, hallowedG37 be Your nameG3686. Your kingdomG932 comeG2064.3GiveG1325 us 4eachG2596 dayG2250 our 5dailyG1967 breadG740.4And forgiveG863 us our sinsG266, For we ourselvesG846 alsoG2532 forgiveG863 everyoneG3956 who 6is indebtedG3784 to us. And leadG1533 us not into temptationG3986.’”

5ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to them, “7SupposeG5101 oneG5101 of you hasG2192 a friendG5384, and goesG4198 to him at midnightG3317 and saysG3004 to him, ‘FriendG5384, lendG5531 me threeG5140 loavesG740; 6for a friendG5384 of mineG1473 has comeG3854 to me from a journeyG3598, and I haveG2192 nothingG3756 to setG3908 beforeG3908 him’; 7and from insideG2081 he answersG611 and saysG3004, ‘Do not botherG2873G3930 me; the doorG2374 has alreadyG2235 been shutG2808 and my childrenG3813 8and I are in bedG2845; I cannotG1410G3756 getG450 up and giveG1325 you anything.’ 8I tellG3004 you, evenG2532 thoughG1487 he will not getG450 up and giveG1325 him anything becauseG1223 he is his friendG5384, yetG1065 9becauseG1223 of his 10persistenceG335 he will getG1453 up and giveG1325 him as muchG3745 as he needsG5535.

9“SoG2532 I sayG3004 to you, 1112askG154, and it will be givenG1325 to you; 13seekG2212, and you will findG2147; 14knockG2925, and it will be openedG455 to you. 10For everyoneG3956 who asksG154, receivesG2983; and he who seeksG2212, findsG2147; and to him who knocksG2925, it will be openedG455. 11NowG1161 15supposeG5101 oneG5101 of you fathersG3962 is askedG154 by his sonG5207 for a 16fishG2486; he will not giveG1929 him a snakeG3789 insteadG473 of a fishG2486, will he? 12OrG2228 if he is askedG154 for an eggG5609, he will not giveG1929 him a scorpionG4651, will he? 1317IfG1487 you thenG3767, beingG5225 evilG4190, knowG3609 howG3609 to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 to your childrenG5043, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will your 18heavenlyG1537G3772 FatherG3962 giveG1325 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to thoseG3588 who askG154 Him?”
