Luke 11:1-9

1It happened that while 1Jesus was praying in a certain place, when 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, 4hallowed be Your name. 5Your kingdom come.3Give us 6each day our 7daily bread.4And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who 8is indebted to us. And do not lead us into temptation.’”

5And He said to them, “9Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6because a friend of mine has come to me from a journey and I have nothing to serve him’; 7and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children 10and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ 8I tell you, even if he will not get up and give him anything just because he is his friend, yet 11because of his 12shamelessness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9“So I say to you, 1314ask, and it will be given to you; 15seek, and you will find; 16knock, and it will be opened to you.
