Luke 11:4-22

4And forgiveG863 us our sinsG266, For we ourselvesG846 alsoG2532 forgiveG863 everyoneG3956 who 1is indebtedG3784 to us. And leadG1533 us not into temptationG3986.’”

5ThenG2532 He saidG3004 to them, “2SupposeG5101 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 3and 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 4becauseG1223 of his 5persistenceG335 he will getG1453 up and giveG1325 him as muchG3745 as he needsG5535.

9“SoG2532 I sayG3004 to you, 67askG154, and it will be givenG1325 to you; 8seekG2212, and you will findG2147; 9knockG2925, 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 10supposeG5101 oneG5101 of you fathersG3962 is askedG154 by his sonG5207 for a 11fishG2486; 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? 1312IfG1487 you thenG3767, beingG5225 evilG4190, knowG3609 howG3609 to giveG1325 goodG18 giftsG1390 to your childrenG5043, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will your 13heavenlyG1537G3772 FatherG3962 giveG1325 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to thoseG3588 who askG154 Him?”

1414And He was castingG1544 out a demonG1140, and it was muteG2974; when the demonG1140 had goneG1831 out, the muteG2974 manG2974 spokeG2980; and the crowdsG3793 were amazedG2296. 15But someG5100 of them saidG3004, “He castsG1544 out demonsG1140 15by 16BeelzebulG954, the rulerG758 of the demonsG1140.” 16OthersG2087, 17to testG3985 Him, 18were demandingG2212 of Him a 19signG4592 from heavenG3772. 1720But He knewG3609 their thoughtsG1270 and saidG3004 to them, “21AnyG3956 kingdomG932 dividedG1266 againstG1909 itselfG1438 is laidG2049 wasteG2049; and a houseG3624 divided againstG1909 22itselfG3624 fallsG4098. 18IfG1487 23SatanG4567 alsoG2532 is dividedG1266 againstG1909 himselfG1438, howG4459 will his kingdomG932 standG2476? For you sayG3004 that I castG1544 out demonsG1140 by 24BeelzebulG954. 19And ifG1487 I by 25BeelzebulG954 castG1544 out demonsG1140, by whomG5101 do your sonsG5207 castG1544 them out? SoG1223G3778 they will be your judgesG2923. 20But ifG1487 I castG1544 out demonsG1140 by the 26fingerG1147 of GodG2316, thenG686 27the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 has comeG5348 upon you. 21WhenG3752 28a strongG2478 man, fullyG2528 armedG2528, guardsG5442 his ownG1438 houseG833, his possessionsG5225 are 29undisturbedG1722G1515. 22But whenG1875 someone strongerG2478 than he attacksG1904 him and overpowersG3528 him, he takesG142 awayG142 from him allG3833 his armorG3833 on whichG3739 he had reliedG3982 and distributesG1239 his plunderG4661.
