Luke - Chapter: 11
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. |
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. |
11:3 | Give us day by day our daily bread. |
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. |
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; |
11:6 | For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? |
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. |
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. |
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. |
11:10 | For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. |
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? |
11:12 | Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? |
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? |
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. |
11:15 | But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. |
11:16 | And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. |
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. |
11:18 | If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. |
11:19 | And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. |
11:20 | But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. |
11:21 | When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: |
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. |
11:23 | He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. |
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. |
11:25 | And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. |
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. |
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. |
11:28 | But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. |
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. |
11:30 | For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
11:35 | Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. |
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. |
11:37 | And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. |
11:38 | And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. |
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. |
11:40 | Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? |
11:41 | But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. |
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. |
11:43 | Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. |
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. |
11:45 | Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. |
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. |
11:47 | Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. |
11:48 | Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. |
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: |
11:50 | That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; |
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. |
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. |
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: |
11:54 | Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him. |
11:1 | And so it was, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teache vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples. |
11:2 | And he said vnto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father, which art in heauen, halowed be thy Name: Thy kingdome come: Let thy will be done, euen in earth, as it is in heauen: |
11:3 | Our dayly bread giue vs for the day: |
11:4 | And forgiue vs our sinnes: for euen we forgiue euery man that is indetted to vs: And leade vs not into temptation: but deliuer vs from euill. |
11:5 | Moreouer he said vnto them, Which of you shall haue a friende, and shall goe to him at midnight, and say vnto him, Friende, lende mee three loaues? |
11:6 | For a friende of mine is come out of the way to me, and I haue nothing to set before him: |
11:7 | And hee within shoulde answere, and say, Trouble mee not: the doore is nowe shut, and my children are with mee in bed: I can not rise and giue them to thee. |
11:8 | I say vnto you, Though he would not arise and giue him, because he is his friende, yet doubtlesse because of his importunitie, hee woulde rise, and giue him as many as he needed. |
11:9 | And I say vnto you, Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and yee shall finde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you. |
11:10 | For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened. |
11:11 | If a sonne shall aske bread of any of you that is a father, will he giue him a stone? or if hee aske a fish, will he for a fish giue him a serpent? |
11:12 | Or if hee aske an egge, will hee giue him a scorpion? |
11:13 | If yee then which are euill, can giue good giftes vnto your children, howe much more shall your heauenly Father giue the holy Ghost to them, that desire him? |
11:14 | Then hee cast out a deuill which was domme: and when the deuill was gone out, the domme spake, and the people wondered. |
11:15 | But some of them said, He casteth out deuils through Beelzebub the chiefe of ye deuils. |
11:16 | And others tempted him, seeking of him a signe from heauen. |
11:17 | But he knew their thoughts, and said vnto them, Euery kingdom deuided against it self, shall be desolate, and an house deuided against an house, falleth. |
11:18 | So if Satan also bee deuided against himselfe, howe shall his kingdome stande, because yee say that I cast out deuils through Beelzebub? |
11:19 | If I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whome doe your children cast them out? Therefore shall they be your iudges. |
11:20 | But if I by ye finger of God cast out deuils, doutles the kingdome of God is come vnto you. |
11:21 | When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, the thinges that hee possesseth, are in peace. |
11:22 | But when a stronger then hee, commeth vpon him, and ouercommeth him: hee taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and deuideth his spoiles. |
11:23 | He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth. |
11:24 | When the vncleane spirite is gone out of a man, he walketh through drie places, seeking rest: and when he findeth none he saieth, I wil returne vnto mine house whence I came out. |
11:25 | And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. |
11:26 | Then goeth hee, and taketh to him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe: and they enter in, and dwel there: so the last state of that man is worse then the first. |
11:27 | And it came to passe as he sayde these thinges, a certaine woman of the companie lifted vp her voyce, and sayde vnto him, Blessed is the wombe that bare thee, and the pappes which thou hast sucked. |
11:28 | But hee saide, Yea, rather blessed are they that heare the woorde of God, and keepe it. |
11:29 | And when the people were gathered thicke together, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: they seeke a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen them, but the signe of Ionas the Prophet. |
11:30 | For as Ionas was a signe to the Niniuites: so shall also the Sonne of man bee to this generation. |
11:31 | The Queene of the South shall rise in iudgement, with the men of this generation, and shall condemne them: for shee came from the vtmost partes of the earth to heare the wisedome of Salomon, and beholde, a greater then Salomon is here. |
11:32 | The men of Niniue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and beholde, a greater then Ionas is here. |
11:33 | No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a priuie place, neither vnder a bushell: but on a candlesticke, that they which come in, may see the light. |
11:34 | The light of the bodie is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, then is thy whole bodie light: but if thine eye be euill, then thy bodie is darke. |
11:35 | Take heede therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkenesse. |
11:36 | If therefore thy whole body shall be light, hauing no part darke, then shall all be light, euen as when a candle doth light thee with the brightnesse. |
11:37 | And as hee spake, a certaine Pharise besought him to dine with him: and hee went in, and sate downe at table. |
11:38 | And when the Pharise saw it, he marueiled that he had not first washed before dinner. |
11:39 | And the Lord saide to him, In deede yee Pharises make cleane the outside of the cuppe, and of the platter: but the inwarde part is full of rauening and wickednesse. |
11:40 | Ye fooles, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also? |
11:41 | Therefore, giue almes of those thinges which you haue, and beholde, all thinges shall be cleane to you. |
11:42 | But wo be to you, Pharises: for ye tithe the mynt and the rewe, and all maner herbs, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to haue left the other vndone. |
11:43 | Wo be to you, Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets. |
11:44 | Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, perceiue not. |
11:45 | Then answered one of the Lawyers, and saide vnto him, Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also. |
11:46 | And he sayde, Wo be to you also, yee Lawyers: for yee lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and yee your selues touche not the burdens with one of your fingers. |
11:47 | Wo be to you: for ye builde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and your fathers killed them. |
11:48 | Truely ye beare witnesse, and allowe the deedes of your fathers: for they killed them, and yee build their sepulchres. |
11:49 | Therefore said the wisedome of God, I wil sende them Prophets and Apostles, and of them they shall slaie, and persecute away, |
11:50 | That the blood of all the Prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation, |
11:51 | From the blood of Abel vnto the blood of Zacharias, which was slaine betweene the altar and the Temple: verely I say vnto you, it shall be required of this generation. |
11:52 | Wo be to you, Lawyers: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in your selues, and them that came in, ye forbade. |
11:53 | And as he sayde these things vnto them, the Scribes and Pharises began to vrge him sore, and to prouoke him to speake of many things, |
11:54 | Laying wait for him, and seeking to catche some thing of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him. |
11:1 | And it fortuned as he was prayinge in a certayne place: when he ceased one of his disciples sayde vnto him: Master teache vs to praye as Iohn taught his disciples. |
11:2 | And he sayd vnto the: When ye praye saye: O oure father which arte in heave halowed be thy name. Thy kyngdome come. Thy will be fulfilled even in erth as it is in heaven. |
11:3 | Oure dayly breed geve vs evermore. |
11:4 | And forgeve vs oure synnes: For eve we forgeve every man yt treaspaseth vs. And ledde vs not into teptacio. But deliver vs fro evill. |
11:5 | And he sayde vnto them: if any of you shuld have a frede and shuld goo to him at mid nyght and saye vnto him: frende lende me thre loves |
11:6 | for a frende of myne is come out of the waye to me and I have nothinge to set before him: |
11:7 | and he within shuld answere and saye trouble me not the dore is now sheet and my servautes are with me in the chamber I canot ryse and geve them to the. |
11:8 | I saye vnto you though he wold not aryse and geve him because he is his frede: yet because of his importunite he wold rise and geve him as many as he neded. |
11:9 | And I saye vnto you: axe and it shalbe geven you. Seke and ye shall fynde. knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you. |
11:10 | For every one that axeth receaveth: and he that seketh fyndeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be openned. |
11:11 | Yf the sonne shall axe breed of eny of you that is a father: wyll he geve him a stone? Or yf he axe fisshe wyll he for a fysshe geve him a serpent? |
11:12 | Or yf he axe an egge: wyll he offer him a scorpion? |
11:13 | Yf ye then which are evyll canne geve good giftes vnto youre chyldren how moche more shall the father of heaven geve an holy sprete to them that desyre it of him? |
11:14 | And he was a castynge out a devyll which was dome. And it folowed when the devyll was gone out the domme spake and the people wondred. |
11:15 | But some of the sayde: he casteth out devyls by the power of Belzebub the chefe of the devyls. |
11:16 | And other tempted him sekinge of him a signe fro heave. |
11:17 | But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde vnto them: Every kingdome devided with in it silfe shalbe desolate: and one housse shall fall vpon another. |
11:18 | So if Satan be devided with in him silfe: how shall his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye that I cast out devyls by the power of Belzebub. |
11:19 | Yf I by the power of Belzebub caste oute devyls: by whome do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges. |
11:20 | But if I with ye finger of God cast out devyls noo doute the kyngdome of God is come vpon you. |
11:21 | When a stronge man armed watcheth his housse: yt he possesseth is in peace. |
11:22 | But when a stronger then he cometh vpo him and overcometh him: he taketh from him his harnes wherin he trusted and devideth his gooddes. |
11:23 | He that is not with me is agaynst me. And he that gadereth not with me scattereth. |
11:24 | When the vnclene sprete is gone out of a man he walketh through waterlesse places sekinge reest. And when he fyndeth none he sayeth: I will returne agayne vnto my housse whence I came out. |
11:25 | And when he cometh he fyndeth it swept and garnissed. |
11:26 | Then goeth he and taketh to him seve other spretes worsse then himsilfe: and they enter in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the begynninge. |
11:27 | And it fortuned as he spake those thinges a certayne woman of the copany lyfte vp her voyce and sayde vnto him: Happy is the wombe that bare the and the pappes which gave the sucke. |
11:28 | But he sayde: Ye happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it. |
11:29 | When the people were gadered thicke to geder: he began to saye. This is an evyll nacion: they seke a signe and ther shall no signe be geven them but the signe of Ionas the Prophet. |
11:30 | For as Ionas was a signe to the Ninivites so shall ye sonne of ma be to this nacio. |
11:31 | The quene of the southe shall ryse at iudgement with the men of this generacio and condempne them: for she came fro the ende of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomon is here. |
11:32 | The men of Ninive shall ryse at the iudgement wt this generacio and shall condepne the: for they repented at the preachinge of Ionas. And beholde a greater then Ionas is here. |
11:33 | Noo man lighteth a candell and putteth it in a previe place nether vnder a busshell: But on a candelsticke that they that come in maye se ye light. |
11:34 | The light of thy body is the eye. Therfore when thine eye is single: then is all thy body full of light. But if thine eye be evyll: then shall thy body also be full of darknes. |
11:35 | Take hede therfore that the light which is in the be not darknes. |
11:36 | For if all thy body shalbe light havynge noo parte darke: then shall all be full of light even as when a candell doeth light the with his brightnes. |
11:37 | And as he spake a certayne Pharise besought him to dyne with him: and he went in and sate doune to meate. |
11:38 | When the Pharise sawe that he marveylled yt he had not fyrst wesshed before dyner. |
11:39 | And ye Lorde sayde to him: Now do ye Pharises make clene the out side of the cup and of the platter: but youre inwarde parties are full of raveninge and wickednes. |
11:40 | Ye foles dyd not he that made that which is without: make that which is within also? |
11:41 | Neverthelesse geve almose of that ye have and beholde all is clene to you. |
11:42 | But wo be to you Pharises for ye tithe the mynt and rewe and all manner erbes and passe over iudgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done and yet not to have left the other vndone. |
11:43 | Wo be to you Pharises: for ye love the vppermost seates in the synagoges and gretinges in the markets. |
11:44 | Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites for ye are as graves which appere not and the men yt walke over the are not ware of the. |
11:45 | Then answered one of the lawears and sayd vnto him: Master thus sayinge thou puttest vs to rebuke also. |
11:46 | Then he sayde: Wo be to you also ye lawears: for ye lade men with burthens greveous to be borne and ye youre selves touche not ye packes wt one of youre fyngers. |
11:47 | Wo be to you: ye bylde the sepulchres of the Prophetes and youre fathers killed the: |
11:48 | truly ye beare witnes that ye alowe the dedes of youre fathers for they kylled them and ye bylde their sepulchres. |
11:49 | Therfore sayde ye wisdome of God: I will send them Prophetes and Apostles and of them they shall slee and persecute: |
11:50 | that the bloude of all Prophetes which was sheed fro the beginninge of the worlde maye be requyred of this generacion |
11:51 | from the bloud of Abell vnto the bloud of zachary which perisshed bitwene the aulter and the temple. Verely I saye vnto you: it shalbe requyred of this nacion. |
11:52 | Wo be to you lawears: for ye have taken awaye ye keye of knowledge ye entred not in youre selves and them that came in ye forbade. |
11:53 | When he thus spake vnto them the lawears and the Pharises began to wexe busye about him and to stop his mouth with many questions |
11:54 | layinge wayte for him and sekinge to catche somethinge of his mought wherby they might accuse him. |
