Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, that as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
And as He was praying in a certain retired place, as soon as He had done, one of his disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples.
2 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.
And He said unto them, when ye pray, say, "Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done as in heaven so also upon earth;
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
give us day by day our daily bread; and forgive us our sins,
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.
for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
5 And he said to them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves:
And He said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine on his journey is come to me,
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
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 he from within shall answer and say, Do not be troublesome; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed, I cannot rise to give thee.
8 I say to 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.
I tell you, tho' 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 wants.
9 And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
And so I tell you, Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.
For every one that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he shall ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
If a son ask bread of any father among you, will he give him a stone? and if he ask for a fish, will he instead of a fish give him a serpent? or if he ask for an egg,
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
will he give him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
If ye then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Spirit to them that ask Him?
14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
And He was casting out a demon, and it was dumb: and when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out demons through Beelzebub, the chief of the demons.
But some of them said, He casteth out demons by Beelzebub the prince of demons:
16 And others tempting [him], sought from him a sign from heaven.
and others, to try Him, desired of Him a sign from heaven.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
But He who well knew their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate, and a house against a house falleth: if Satan also be divided against himself,
18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say, that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
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 own people cast them out? wherefore they shall be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out demons, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
But if I cast out demons by the power of God, you may be sure the kingdom of God is come unto you:
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
for when a strong man well-armed defends his palace, his substance is secure:
22 But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
but when a stronger than he cometh upon him and conquers him, he taketh away his armour, wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
He, that is not with me, is against me; and he, that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
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 to my house whence I came out.

As He was speaking these things, a certain woman lifted up her voice from amidst the croud, and said, Happy is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck!
28 But he said, Yes, rather blessed [are] they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
but He replied, Yea rather happy are they, that hear the word of God and keep it.
29 And when the people were assembled in crowds, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of Jonah the prophet.
And when the multitudes were gathering thick together He began to say, This is a wicked generation: they demand a sign, but no sign shall be given them, except that of the prophet Jonah:
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of man be to this generation.
for as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.

33 No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth [it] in a secret place, neither under a close vessel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
But yet no one having lighted a candle putteth it into a secret place, nor under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they who come in may see the light.
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thy eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thy eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
The eye is the candle of the body: therefore when thine eye is clear, thy whole body also is light; but when it is bad, thy body also is dark.
35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
Take heed therefore least the light which is in thee be darkness.
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.
For if thy whole body be light, having no part dark, it will be (when all enlightened) as when a candle giveth thee light by its brightness.
37 And as he was speaking, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to eat.
And as He spake, a certain pharisee asked Him to dine with him: and He went in and sat down at table.
38 And when the Pharisee saw [it], he marveled that he had not first washed before dinner.
And when the pharisee saw it he wondered that He did not wash first, before dinner.
39 And the Lord said to 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.
But the Lord said unto him, ye pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of rapine and wickedness.
40 [Ye] fools, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
Senseless creatures! Did not He who made the outside, make also that which is within? give alms rather according to your ability:
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and behold, all things are clean to you.
and behold all things are clean to you.
42 But woe to 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 others undone.
But wo unto you pharisees, who tithe even your mint, and rue, and all your herbs, and pass by judgement and the love of God: these ought ye to practise and not to omit the others.
43 Woe to you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
Wo unto you pharisees; for ye love the chief seat in synagogues, and salutations in public places.
44 Woe to 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].

45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said to him, Master, thus saying, thou reproachest us also.
And one of the doctors of the law answered and said unto Him, Master, in saying these things thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe to you also, [ye] lawyers, 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, Wo unto you also, ye interpreters of the law, for ye load men with insupportable burthens, and ye yourselves touch not the burthens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe to you! for ye build the sepulchers of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Wo unto you; who build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear testimony, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchers.
Thus ye testify that ye approve of the deeds of your fathers; for they put them to death, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they will slay and persecute:
And therefore the wisdom of God hath said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute:
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
that the blood of all the prophets which has been shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah,

54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something from his mouth, that they might accuse him.
laying snares for Him, and endeavouring to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse Him.
