Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
And as he was praying in a certain place, it occurred, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Our Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Jesus said to them: When ye pray, thus speak ye: Our Father who art in heaven, hallow be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth;
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
give us daily the bread we need;
4 And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.
and remit to us our sins, for we also remit to all that are indebted to us; and bring us not into trials, but deliver us from evil.
5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, that shall come to him at midnight and say to him, My friend, lend me three cakes;
6 for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;
for a friend hath come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him?
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?
And his friend within shall answer, and say to him: Do not disturb me, for lo, the door is closed, and my children with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
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 arise and give him as many as he needeth.
I say to you: If he give him not, on account of friendship, yet on account of his importunity, he will arise and give him as much as he asketh.
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.
I say also to you: Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it is opened.
11 And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?
For which of you being a father, if his son shall ask him for bread, will he reach to him a stone? Or, if he ask of him a fish, will he, instead of a fish, reach to him a serpent?
12 Or [if] he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
Or, if he ask of him an egg, will he reach to him a scorpion?
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?
And if ye, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 And he was casting out a demon [that was] dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled.
And as he was casting out a demon that was dumb, it occurred, that when the demon had gone out, the dumb man conversed: and the multitudes admired.
15 But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casteth he out demons.
But some of them said: It is by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, that he casteth out demons.
16 And others, trying [him], sought of him a sign from heaven.
And others, to tempt him, asked of him a sign from heaven.
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.
But Jesus, as he knew their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom that is divided against itself, will become a desolation: and a house that is divided against itself, will fall.
18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
And if Satan be divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? since ye say, that I by Beelzebub cast out demons.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
And if I, by Beelzebub, cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore will they be to you judges.
20 But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
But if I, by the finger of God, cast out demons, the kingdom of God hath come near to you.
21 When the strong [man] fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:
When a strong man armed keepeth his doorway, his property rests securely.
22 but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
But if a stronger than he come and overpower him, he taketh away all his arms on which he relied, and divideth the spoil of him.
23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
He that is not for me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, actually scattereth.
24 The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out.
An unclean spirit, when he goeth out of a man, goeth wandering in places where no water is, in order to find rest; and, as he cannot find it he saith: I will return to my habitation, from which I came.
25 And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept clean and set in order.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh [to him] seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.
Then he goeth and taketh seven other spirits, worse than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck.
And while he was saying these things, a certain woman from the crowd, lifted up her voice, and said to him: Blessed is the womb that carried thee, and the breasts that nursed thee.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
He said to her: Blessed are they who hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
And when multitudes were assembled, he began to say: This evil generation seeketh a sign; and no sign will be given it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
30 For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of man be a sign to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
The queen of the south will stand up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; for she came from the other side of the earth, to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and lo, one superior to Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and lo, one superior to Jonah is here.
33 No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.
No one lighteth a lamp, and putteth it in a secret place, or under a bushel, but upon a light-stand; that they who come in, may see its light.
34 The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
The lamp of thy body is thy eye. Therefore, when thy eye is sound, thy whole body will be enlightened; but if it be bad, thy body also will be dark.
35 Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.
See to it, therefore, lest the light that is in thee, be darkness.
36 If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.
For if thy whole body be enlightened, and no part in it be dark, the whole will be luminous, as if a lamp enlightened thee by its radiance.
37 Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
And while he was speaking, a certain Pharisee requested him to dine with him: and he went in, and reclined.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner.
And the Pharisee noticing him, wondered that he did not previously baptize before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
And Jesus said to him: Now ye Pharisees make clean the exterior of the cup and the dish; but your interior is full of extortion and wickedness.
40 Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also?
Ye deficient in understanding! did not he who made the exterior, make also the interior?
41 But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.
But, give ye alms from what ye possess; and lo, every thing will be clean to you.
42 But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
But woe to you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue, and every pot-herb; but pass over justice and the love of God. Now ye ought to do these things, and not to omit those.
43 Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.
Woe to you, Pharisees! who love the chief seats in the synagogues, and a salutation in the streets.
44 Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over [them] know it not.
Woe to you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like graves that are unknown, and men walk over them and do not know it.
45 And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.
And one of the Scribes replied, and said to him: Teacher, while saying these things, thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
And he said: Woe to you also! ye Scribes, who lade men with heavy burdens; yet ye yourselves will not touch those burdens with one of your fingers
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Woe to you! who build the sepulchres of the prophets, whom your fathers slew.
48 So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build [their tombs].
Thus ye testify, that ye acquiesce in the deeds of your fathers; for they slew them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and [some] of them they shall kill and persecute;
Therefore hath wisdom said: Lo, I will send to them prophets and legates; and some of them they will persecute and slay;
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
that from this generation may be required, the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed since the world was created;
51 from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.
from the blood of Abel, to the blood of Zachariah who was slain between the temple and the altar. Yea, say I to you: It will be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
Woe to you, Scribes; for ye have taken away the keys of knowledge: ye yourselves enter not, and them that are entering ye hinder.
53 And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon [him] vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things;
And when he had said these things to them, the Scribes and Pharisees began to be offended, and became angry, and carped at his discourses,
54 laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.
and practised many wiles upon him, seeking to catch some thing from his lips, that they might accuse him.
