LUK-11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a
certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto
him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
LUK-11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father
which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy
will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
LUK-11:3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
LUK-11:4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one
that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but
deliver us from evil.
LUK-11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend,
and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend,
lend me three loaves;
LUK-11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and
I have nothing to set before him?
LUK-11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not:
the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I
cannot rise and give thee.
LUK-11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him,
because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will
rise and give him as many as he needeth.
LUK-11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
LUK-11:10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
LUK-11:11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a
father, will he give him a stone? or if [he ask] a fish, will he
for a fish give him a serpent?
LUK-11:12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a
scorpion?
LUK-11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts
unto your children: how much more shall [your] heavenly Father
give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
LUK-11:14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And
it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake;
and the people wondered.
LUK-11:15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through
Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
LUK-11:16 And others, tempting [him], sought of him a sign from
heaven.
LUK-11:17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every
kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a
house [divided] against a house falleth.
LUK-11:18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall
his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through
Beelzebub.
LUK-11:19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your
sons cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.
LUK-11:20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no
doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
LUK-11:21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods
are in peace:
LUK-11:22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and
overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he
trusted, and divideth his spoils.
LUK-11:23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth.
LUK-11:24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he
walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he
saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
LUK-11:25 And when he cometh, he findeth [it] swept and
garnished.
LUK-11:26 Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits
more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there:
and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first.
LUK-11:27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a
certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto
him, Blessed [is] the womb that bare thee, and the paps which
thou hast sucked.
LUK-11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed [are] they that hear
the word of God, and keep it.
LUK-11:29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he
began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and
there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the
prophet.
LUK-11:30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall
also the Son of man be to this generation.
LUK-11:31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment
with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came
from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon;
and, behold, a greater than Solomon [is] here.
LUK-11:32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with
this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the
preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas [is] here.
LUK-11:33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in
a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick,
that they which come in may see the light.
LUK-11:34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine
eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when
[thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
LUK-11:35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be
not darkness.
LUK-11:36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having
no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the
bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
LUK-11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to
dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
LUK-11:38 And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marvelled that he
had not first washed before dinner.
LUK-11:39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make
clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward
part is full of ravening and wickedness.
LUK-11:40 [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without
make that which is within also?
LUK-11:41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and,
behold, all things are clean unto you.
LUK-11:42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue
and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of
God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other
undone.
LUK-11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost
seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
LUK-11:44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for
ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over
[them] are not aware [of them].
LUK-11:45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him,
Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
LUK-11:46 And he said, Woe unto you also, [ye] lawyers! for ye
lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves
touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
LUK-11:47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the
prophets, and your fathers killed them.
LUK-11:48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your
fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their
sepulchres.
LUK-11:49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send
them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay
and persecute:
LUK-11:50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed
from the foundation of the world, may be required of this
generation;
LUK-11:51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias,
which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say
unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
LUK-11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key
of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were
entering in ye hindered.
LUK-11:53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and
the Pharisees began to urge [him] vehemently, and to provoke him
to speak of many things:
LUK-11:54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something
out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
