< Luke 11 >

1 And it came to pass while being He in a place certain praying, when He ceased, said one of the disciples of Him to Him; Lord, do teach us to pray even as also John taught the disciples of him.
And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?
2 He said then to them; When you may pray, do say: Father (of us in to the heavens *K) should be hallowed the name of You; should come the kingdom of You (should be [done] *KO) (the will of you as in heaven and upon earth; *K)
And he said to them, When you say your prayers, say, Father, may your name be kept holy and your kingdom come.
3 The bread of us daily do give us each day;
Give us every day bread for our needs.
4 And do forgive us the sins of us; also for ourselves we forgive to everyone indebted to us; and may you not lead us into temptation (but do deliver us from evil. *K)
May we have forgiveness for our sins, as we make free all those who are in debt to us. And let us not be put to the test.
5 And He said to them; Who among you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight and say to him; Friend, do lend me three loaves,
And he said to them, Which of you, having a friend, would go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, Friend, let me have three cakes of bread;
6 since a friend of mine is come off a journey to me, and nothing I have what I will set before him;
Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him;
7 And he And he from within answering may say; Not me trouble do cause. already the door has been shut, and the children of mine with me in the bed are; not I am able having risen up to give to you.
And he, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; it is not possible for me to get up and give to you?
8 I say to you; if even not he will give to him having risen up because of being friend of him because of yet the persistence of him having risen he will give to him (as many as *NK+o) he needs.
I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.
9 And I myself And I myself to you say; do ask and it will be given to you; do seek and you will find; do knock and it will be opened to you.
And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered; what you are searching for, you will get; when you give the sign, the door will be open to you.
10 Everyone for the [one] asking receives, and the [one] seeking finds, and to the [one] knocking it will be opened.
For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.
11 Which now (of *no) you who [is] a father will ask for the son (bread surely not stone will he give to him *KO) (if *K+o) a fish, and (surely not *ko) instead of a fish a serpent to him will he give
And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?
12 Or also (if *K) (he will ask for *NK+O) an egg, (surely not *ko) will he give to him a scorpion?
Or for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If therefore you yourselves evil being you know gifts good to give to the children of you, how much more the Father who [is] in heaven will give [the] Spirit Holy to those asking Him!
If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?
14 And He was casting out a demon and it was mute. it came to pass then from the demon having gone out spoke the mute And marveled the crowds.
And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.
15 Some then of them said; By Beelzebul (the *no) prince of the demons He casts out the demons.
But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.
16 Others now testing a sign from heaven were seeking from Him.
And others, testing him, were looking for a sign from heaven from him.
17 He himself now knowing their thoughts said to them; Every kingdom against itself having been divided is brought to desolation, and a house against a house falls.
But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.
18 If now even Satan against himself is divided, how will stand the kingdom of him? For you say by Beelzebul [am] casting out I the demons.
If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.
19 If now I myself by Beelzebul cast out the demons, the sons of you by whom do they cast out? On account of this they themselves of you judges will be.
And if I, by Beelzebul, send out evil spirits, by whose help do your sons send them out? so let them be your judges.
20 If however by [the] finger of God (I myself *no) cast out the demons, then has come upon you the kingdom of God.
But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you.
21 When the strong [man] having armed himself may guard the his own house, in peace are the possessions of him;
When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe:
22 when however [one] stronger than he having come upon [him] he may overcome him, the complete armor of him he takes away in which he had trusted, and the plunder of him he divides.
But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.
23 The [one] not being with Me against Me is, and the [one] not gathering with Me scatters.
He who is not with me is against me, and he who will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out from the man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest. and not finding [any] (then *NO) it says; I will return to the house of mine from where I came out.
The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.
25 And having come it finds [it] (being unoccupied *O) swept and ordered.
And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean.
26 Then it goes and it takes other spirits more evil than itself seven, and (having entered *NK+o) they dwell there; and becomes the last of the man that [one] worse than the first.
Then he goes and gets seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they go in, and take their places there: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first.
27 It came to pass then while [is] saying He these things, having lifted up one [her] voice a woman from the crowd said to Him; Blessed [is] the womb which having borne You, and [the] breasts at which You nursed.
And it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk.
28 He himself then said; No rather blessed [are] those hearing the word of God and keeping (it. *k)
But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it.
29 Of the now crowds being pressed around together He began to say; generation this (generation *no) an evil is. a sign (it seeks after, *N+kO) and a sign not will be given to it only except the sign of Jonah (the prophet. *K)
And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
30 Even as for was Jonah to the Ninevites a sign thus will be also the Son of Man to the generation this.
For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of man be to this generation.
31 [The] Queen of [the] South will rise up in the judgment with the men of the generation this and will condemn them; For she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold greater than Solomon here.
The queen of the South will come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here.
32 [The] men (Ninevites *N+kO) will stand up in the judgment with generation this and will condemn it; For they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold greater than Jonah [is] here.
The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.
33 But no [one] (now *k) a lamp having lit in (a cellar *N+KO) sets it nor [sets it] under the basket but upon the lampstand that those entering in the (light *N+kO) may see.
No man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.
34 The lamp of body is the eye (of you. *no) When (therefore *K) the eye of you clear may be, also all the body of you light is; when however evil it may be, also the body of you [is] dark.
The light of the body is the eye: when your eye is true, all your body is full of light; but when it is evil, your body is dark.
35 do take heed therefore lest the light that [is] in you darkness be.
So take care that the light which is in you is not dark.
36 If therefore the body of you [is] full of light not having part any dark, it will be light all, as when the lamp so the shining may light you.
If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.
37 While then speaking (asked *N+kO) Him a Pharisee (a certain one *k) that He would dine with him. having entered then He reclined.
Now, while he was talking, a Pharisee made a request that he would come to a meal with him; and he went in and took his seat at the meal.
38 And the Pharisee having seen [it] marveled that not first He washed before the dinner.
And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself.
39 Said then the Lord to him; Now you yourselves Pharisees the outside the cup and the dish you cleanse, and the inside of you is full of plundering and wickedness.
And the Lord said to him, You Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the plate clean; but inside you are thieves and full of evil.
40 Fools! Surely the [One] having made the outside also the inside made?
O you foolish ones! did not he who made the outside in the same way make the inside?
41 But [of] the [things] being within do give alms, and behold all things clean to you are.
But if you give to the poor such things as you are able, then all things are clean to you.
42 But woe to you Pharisees, for you pay tithes of mint and rue and every herb and you pass by the justice and the love of God; These things (also *NO) it was necessary for [you] to do, and those and those not (to neglect. *N+kO)
But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.
43 Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the first seat in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
A curse is on you, Pharisees! for your desires are for the most important seats in the Synagogues and for words of respect said to you in the market-place.
44 Woe to you (scribes and Pharisees hypocrites *K) for you are like graves unmarked, and the men who are walking above not do know [it].
A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.
45 Answering now one of the lawyers says to Him; Teacher, these things saying also us You insult.
And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.
46 And He said; Also to you lawyers woe! For you burden the men [with] burdens heavy to bear and yourselves with one of the fingers of you not do touch the burdens.
And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.
47 Woe to you, for you build the tombs of the prophets, yet the fathers of you killed them.
A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death.
48 So (witnesses *N+kO) (you are *no) and you consent to the works of the fathers of you; For they themselves indeed killed them, you yourselves however build (of them *K) (the *k) (monuments. *K)
So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places.
49 Because of this also the Wisdom of God said; I will send to them prophets and apostles. and [some] of them they will kill and (will pursue *N+kO)
For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;
50 so that may be charged the blood of all the prophets which (poured out *N+kO) from [the] foundation of [the] world against generation this,
So that punishment may come on this generation for the blood of all the prophets which was given from the earliest days;
51 from (the *k) blood of Abel until (the *k) blood of Zechariah the [one] having perished between the altar and the house. Yes I say to you, it will be required of generation this.
From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.
52 Woe to you lawyers, for you have taken away the key of the knowledge. You yourselves not did enter and those entering you hindered.
A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in.
53 (And from there And from there *no) (when was expressing *N+kO) (now *k) He (these things to them *k) [then] began the scribes and the Pharisees urgently to press upon [Him] and to make speak Him about many things
And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;
54 watching Him (and *K) (seeking *KO) to catch in something out of the mouth of Him (so that they may accuse him. *KO)
And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.
