路加福音 11
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Traditional)
主訓人的禱告
11 耶穌在一個地方禱告,禱告完了,有個門徒對他說:「求主教導我們禱告,像約翰教導他的門徒。」 2 耶穌說:「你們禱告的時候,要說:『我們在天上的父[a],願人都尊你的名為聖,願你的國降臨,願你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上[b]。 3 我們日用的飲食,天天賜給我們。 4 赦免我們的罪,因為我們也赦免凡虧欠我們的人。不叫我們遇見試探,救我們脫離凶惡。[c]』」
求則得之
5 耶穌又說:「你們中間誰有一個朋友半夜到他那裡去,說:『朋友,請借給我三個餅, 6 因為我有一個朋友行路,來到我這裡,我沒有什麼給他擺上。』 7 那人在裡面回答說:『不要攪擾我,門已經關閉,孩子們也同我在床上了,我不能起來給你。』 8 我告訴你們:雖不因他是朋友起來給他,但因他情詞迫切地直求,就必起來照他所需用的給他。 9 我又告訴你們:你們祈求,就給你們;尋找,就尋見;叩門,就給你們開門。 10 因為凡祈求的,就得著;尋找的,就尋見;叩門的,就給他開門。 11 你們中間做父親的,誰有兒子求餅,反給他石頭呢?求魚,反拿蛇當魚給他呢? 12 求雞蛋,反給他蠍子呢? 13 你們雖然不好,尚且知道拿好東西給兒女,何況天父,豈不更將聖靈給求他的人嗎?」
駁倒猶太人的讒言
14 耶穌趕出一個叫人啞巴的鬼,鬼出去了,啞巴就說出話來。眾人都稀奇, 15 內中卻有人說:「他是靠著鬼王別西卜趕鬼。」 16 又有人試探耶穌,向他求從天上來的神蹟。 17 他曉得他們的意念,便對他們說:「凡一國自相紛爭,就成為荒場;凡一家自相紛爭,就必敗落。 18 若撒旦自相紛爭,他的國怎能站得住呢?因為你們說我是靠著別西卜趕鬼。 19 我若靠著別西卜趕鬼,你們的子弟趕鬼又靠著誰呢?這樣,他們就要斷定你們的是非。 20 我若靠著神的能力趕鬼,這就是神的國臨到你們了。 21 壯士披掛整齊看守自己的住宅,他所有的都平安無事。 22 但有一個比他更壯的來,勝過他,就奪去他所倚靠的盔甲兵器,又分了他的贓。 23 不與我相合的,就是敵我的;不同我收聚的,就是分散的。 24 汙鬼離了人身,就在無水之地過來過去,尋求安歇之處,既尋不著,便說:『我要回到我所出來的屋裡去。』 25 到了,就看見裡面打掃乾淨,修飾好了, 26 便去另帶了七個比自己更惡的鬼來,都進去住在那裡。那人末後的景況比先前更不好了。」
27 耶穌正說這話的時候,眾人中間有一個女人大聲說:「懷你胎的和乳養你的有福了!」 28 耶穌說:「是,卻還不如聽神之道而遵守的人有福!」
求神蹟的受責備
29 當眾人聚集的時候,耶穌開講說:「這世代是一個邪惡的世代,他們求看神蹟,除了約拿的神蹟以外,再沒有神蹟給他們看。 30 約拿怎樣為尼尼微人成了神蹟,人子也要照樣為這世代的人成了神蹟。 31 當審判的時候,南方的女王要起來定這世代的罪,因為她從地極而來,要聽所羅門的智慧話。看哪,在這裡有一人比所羅門更大! 32 當審判的時候,尼尼微人要起來定這世代的罪,因為尼尼微人聽了約拿所傳的就悔改了。看哪,在這裡有一人比約拿更大!
論心裡的光
33 「沒有人點燈放在地窨子裡或是斗底下,總是放在燈臺上,使進來的人得見亮光。 34 你眼睛就是身上的燈。你的眼睛若瞭亮,全身就光明;眼睛若昏花,全身就黑暗。 35 所以,你要省察,恐怕你裡頭的光或者黑暗了。 36 若是你全身光明,毫無黑暗,就必全然光明,如同燈的明光照亮你。」
37 說話的時候,有一個法利賽人請耶穌同他吃飯,耶穌就進去坐席。 38 這法利賽人看見耶穌飯前不洗手便詫異。 39 主對他說:「如今你們法利賽人洗淨杯盤的外面,你們裡面卻滿了勒索和邪惡。 40 無知的人哪,造外面的,不也造裡面嗎? 41 只要把裡面的施捨給人,凡物於你們就都潔淨了。
述說法利賽人六禍
42 「你們法利賽人有禍了!因為你們將薄荷、芸香並各樣菜蔬獻上十分之一,那公義和愛神的事反倒不行了。這原是你們當行的,那也是不可不行的。 43 你們法利賽人有禍了!因為你們喜愛會堂裡的首位,又喜愛人在街市上問你們的安。 44 你們有禍了!因為你們如同不顯露的墳墓,走在上面的人並不知道。」
45 律法師中有一個回答耶穌說:「夫子,你這樣說也把我們糟蹋了!」 46 耶穌說:「你們律法師也有禍了!因為你們把難擔的擔子放在人身上,自己一個指頭卻不肯動。 47 你們有禍了!因為你們修造先知的墳墓,那先知正是你們的祖宗所殺的。 48 可見你們祖宗所做的事,你們又證明又喜歡;因為他們殺了先知,你們修造先知的墳墓。 49 所以神用智慧[d]曾說:『我要差遣先知和使徒到他們那裡去,有的他們要殺害,有的他們要逼迫。』 50 使創世以來所流眾先知血的罪,都要問在這世代的人身上, 51 就是從亞伯的血起,直到被殺在壇和殿中間撒迦利亞的血為止。我實在告訴你們:這都要問在這世代的人身上。 52 你們律法師有禍了!因為你們把知識的鑰匙奪了去,自己不進去,正要進去的人你們也阻擋他們。」
53 耶穌從那裡出來,文士和法利賽人就極力地催逼他,引動他多說話, 54 私下窺聽,要拿他的話柄。

Chinese New Version (Simplified)
祈求就必得着(A)
11 有一天,耶稣在一个地方祈祷,祈祷完了,有一个门徒对他说:“主啊,求你教导我们祷告,像约翰教导他的门徒一样。” 2 耶稣说:“你们祷告的时候,要说:
‘父啊,愿你的名被尊为圣,
愿你的国降临(有些抄本在此有“愿你的旨意行在地上,如同行在天上”一句);
3 我们需用的食物,
求你每天赐给我们;
4 赦免我们的罪,
因为我们也饶恕所有亏负我们的人;
不要让我们陷入试探(有些抄本在此有“救我们脱离那恶者”一句)。’”
5 耶稣又对他们说:“你们当中,谁有朋友半夜去找他,说:‘请你借给我三个饼, 6 因为我有一个朋友旅行来到我这里,我没有甚么可以招待他。’ 7 而他却在里面回答:‘不要麻烦我,门已经关好了,孩子也跟我在床上了,我不能起来拿给你。’ 8 我告诉你们,即使不因为他是朋友而起来给他,也会因为他厚颜地直求,而起来照他所需要的给他。 9 我又告诉你们,你们祈求,就给你们;寻找,就寻见;叩门,就给你们开门。 10 因为所有祈求的就得着,寻找的就寻见,叩门的就给他开门。 11 你们中间作父亲的,哪有儿子求鱼,反拿蛇当作鱼给他呢? 12 或求鸡蛋,反给他蝎子呢? 13 你们虽然不好,尚且知道把好东西给自己的儿女,何况天父,岂不更把圣灵赐给求他的人吗?”
耶稣靠 神的能力赶鬼(B)
14 耶稣赶出一个哑巴鬼,鬼既出去,哑巴就说起话来,众人都希奇。 15 有人说:“他靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼。” 16 又有人试探他,向他求一个从天上来的神迹。 17 耶稣知道他们的心意,就对他们说:“如果一个国家自相纷争,就必定荒凉;如果一个家庭自相为敌,就必然败落。 18 如果撒但自相纷争,他的国怎能站立得住呢?你们说我靠别西卜赶鬼, 19 我若靠别西卜赶鬼,你们的子孙赶鬼又靠谁呢?因此,他们必要作你们的审判官。 20 我若靠 神的能力赶鬼,这就是 神的国临到你们了。 21 一个壮汉拿着武器,看守自己的家园,他的家财就平安无事。 22 但是一个比他更强的人来了,胜过了他,夺去他所倚靠的武器,就把他的家财当作掠物分了。 23 不站在我这一边的就是反对我的;不跟从一起收聚的就是分散的。
污灵去而复返的教训(C)
24 “一个污灵离开了一个人,走遍干旱之地,寻找栖身的地方,却没有找到,就说:‘我要回到我从前离开了的那房子。’ 25 到了之后,看见里面已经打扫干净,粉饰好了, 26 他就去带了另外七个比自己更恶的污灵来,进去住在那里;那人后来的情况,比以前更坏了。”
约拿的神迹(D)
27 耶稣正说这些话的时候,群众中有一个女人高声对他说:“怀你胎的和哺养你的有福了!” 28 他说:“是的,却还不如听 神的道而遵守的人有福。” 29 众人聚集的时候,耶稣就说:“这世代是个邪恶的世代。这世代寻求神迹,可是除了约拿的神迹以外,再没有神迹给他们了。 30 约拿怎样成了尼尼微人的神迹,人子也照样成为这个世代的神迹。 31 审判的时候,南方的女王要和这世代的人一同起来,她要定他们的罪,因为她从地极来到,要听所罗门智慧的话。你看,这里有一位是比所罗门更大的。 32 审判的时候,尼尼微人要和这世代的人一同起来,他们要定这个世代的罪,因为尼尼微人听了约拿所传的就悔改了。你看,这里有一位是比约拿更大的。
里面的光(E)
33 “没有人点了灯,把它放在地窖里,或量器底下,却放在灯台上,叫进来的人看得见光。 34 你的眼睛就是你身体的灯,你的眼睛健全,全身就明亮;如果不健全,全身就黑暗。 35 所以要谨慎,免得你里面的光黑暗了。 36 你若全身明亮,没有一点黑暗,你就完全明亮,好象明亮的灯光照你一样。”
法利赛人和律法师有祸了(F)
37 耶稣说话的时候,有一个法利赛人请耶稣和他一起吃饭;他就进去坐席。 38 这个法利赛人见耶稣吃饭之前不洗手,觉得奇怪。 39 主对他说:“你们法利赛人把杯盘的外面洗净,但你们里面却充满了抢夺和邪恶。 40 无知的人哪,那造外面的,不也造里面吗? 41 只要把里面的施舍出去,你们的一切就都洁净了。 42 然而你们法利赛人有祸了!因为你们把薄荷、茴香和各样菜蔬献上十分之一,却把公义和爱 神的事疏忽了;这些是你们应当作的,但其他的也不可疏忽。 43 你们法利赛人有祸了!因为你们喜爱会堂里的高位和人在巿中心的问安。 44 你们有祸了!因为你们好象不显露的坟墓,走在上面的人并不知道。”
45 律法师中有一个回答他:“老师,你这样说,把我们也侮辱了!” 46 耶稣说:“你们律法师也有祸了,因为你们把难担的担子叫人担,自己连一个指头也不动。 47 你们有祸了!因为你们修造先知的坟墓,而那些先知正是你们祖先所杀的, 48 这样,你们就成了证人,对你们祖先的作为表示同意;他们杀害先知,你们修造先知的坟墓。 49 所以, 神的智慧说:‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里去,有的他们要杀害,有的他们要迫害, 50-51 为要使创世以来众先知所流的血,从亚伯的血起,直到在祭坛和圣所之间受害的撒迦利亚的血为止,都向这一代追讨。’是的,我告诉你们,都要向这一代追讨。 52 你们律法师有祸了!因为你们拿去知识的钥匙,自己不进去,又阻止要进去的人。” 53 耶稣从那里出来,经学家和法利赛人非常敌视他,质问他很多问题, 54 等机会从他的口中找把柄。

教导门徒祷告
11 有一天,耶稣在某地祷告完毕,有个门徒对祂说:“主啊,请教导我们祷告,像约翰教他的门徒一样。”
2 耶稣对他们说:“你们应该这样祷告,
“‘天父,愿人都尊崇你的圣名,
愿你的国度降临,
愿你的旨意在地上成就,
就像在天上成就一样[a]。
3 愿你天天赐给我们日用的饮食。
4 求你饶恕我们的罪,
因为我们也饶恕那些亏欠我们的人。
不要让我们遇见诱惑,
拯救我们脱离那恶者[b]。’”
5 耶稣又对他们说:“假设你在半夜跑去朋友家请求说,‘朋友,请借给我三个饼吧, 6 因为有一位朋友远道而来,我家没有什么可以招待他。’ 7 那个人在屋里应声说,‘请别打搅我,门已经锁上了,我和孩子们也已经上床了,我不能起来给你拿饼。’
8 “我告诉你们,那人虽不念朋友之情,但是倘若你不肯罢休,继续请求,他最终会起来满足你的愿望。
9 “我告诉你们,祈求,就会给你们;寻找,就会寻见;叩门,就会给你们开门。 10 因为凡祈求的,就得到;寻找的,就寻见;叩门的,就给他开门。
11 “你们中间做父亲的,如果孩子要饼,你会给他石头吗?[c]要鱼,你会给他蛇吗? 12 要鸡蛋,你会给他蝎子吗? 13 你们虽然邪恶,尚且知道把好东西给儿女,天父岂不更要赐圣灵给那些求祂的人吗?”
耶稣和别西卜
14 有一次,耶稣赶出一个使人哑巴的鬼。鬼一出去,哑巴就能说话了,大家都很惊奇。 15 有人却说:“祂是靠鬼王别西卜赶鬼。” 16 还有些人想试探耶稣,要求祂行个神迹证明自己是上帝派来的。
17 耶稣知道他们的心思,就说:“一个国内部自相纷争,必然灭亡;一个家内部自相纷争,必然崩溃。 18 同样,若撒旦内部自相纷争,它的国怎能维持呢?你们说我是靠别西卜赶鬼, 19 若我是靠别西卜赶鬼,你们的子弟又是靠谁赶鬼呢?因此,他们要审判你们。 20 但若我是靠上帝的能力赶鬼,就是上帝的国已降临在你们中间了。
21 “壮汉全副武装地看守自己的住宅,他的财物会很安全。 22 但是,来了一个比他更强壮的人,把他制服后,夺去他所依靠的武装,并把他抢来的东西分给了人。 23 谁不与我为友,就是与我为敌;谁不和我一起收聚,就是故意拆散。
24 “有个污鬼离开了它以前所附的人,在干旱无水之地四处游荡,寻找安歇之处,却没有找到。于是它说,‘我要回到老地方。’ 25 它回去后,看见里面打扫得又干净又整齐, 26 就去带来了七个比自己更邪恶的鬼一起住在那里。那人的下场比从前更惨了。”
谁更有福
27 耶稣说话的时候,人群中有个妇人高喊:“生你养你的人真有福啊!”
28 耶稣回答说:“但那听了上帝的话又去遵行的人更有福。”
可悲的邪恶世代
29 这时聚集的人越来越多,耶稣说:“这是一个邪恶的世代,人们只想看神迹,但除了约拿的神迹以外,再没有神迹给他们看。 30 正如约拿成了尼尼微人的神迹,人子也要成为这世代的神迹。
31 “在审判的日子,南方的女王和这世代的人都要起来[d],她要定这个世代的罪,因为她曾不远千里来听所罗门王的智言慧语。看啊!这里有一位比所罗门王更伟大。
32 “在审判的日子,尼尼微人和这世代的人都要起来,尼尼微人要定这个世代的罪,因为他们听到约拿的宣告,就悔改了。看啊!这里有一位比约拿更伟大。
灯的比喻
33 “没有人点了灯却将它放在地窖里或斗底下,人总是把灯放在灯台上,让进来的人可以看见光。 34 你的眼睛就是身体的灯,你的眼睛明亮,全身就光明;你的眼睛昏花,全身就黑暗。 35 因此要小心,不要让你心里的光变为黑暗。 36 如果你全身光明、毫无黑暗,你整个人就熠熠生辉,好像有灯光照在你身上。”
谴责法利赛人
37 耶稣说完这番话后,有一个法利赛人来请祂吃饭,祂便应邀入席。 38 这位法利赛人看见耶稣饭前没有行犹太人洗手的礼仪,十分诧异。 39 主对他说:“你们法利赛人洗净杯盘的外面,你们里面却充满了贪婪和邪恶。 40 愚蠢的人啊,人里外不都是上帝所创造的吗? 41 只要你们发自内心地去施舍,一切对你们都是洁净的。
42 “法利赛人啊,你们有祸了!你们将薄荷、茴香、各样蔬菜献上十分之一,却忽略了上帝的公义和仁爱。后者是你们本该做的,前者也不可忽略。
43 “法利赛人啊,你们有祸了!你们喜欢在会堂里坐首位,又喜欢在街市上听到别人的问候。 44 你们有祸了!因为你们就像没有墓碑的坟墓,人们从上面走过也不知道。”
谴责律法教师
45 一位律法教师对耶稣说:“老师,你这话把我们也侮辱了!”
46 耶稣回答说:“你们这些律法教师也有祸了!你们把沉重难负的担子放在别人肩上,自己却连一根指头也不肯动。
47 “你们有祸了,你们为先知修造坟墓,而他们正是被你们祖先杀害的! 48 所以你们是见证人,你们赞同祖先的行为,因为他们杀了先知,你们为先知造坟墓。 49 因此,充满智慧的上帝说,‘我要差遣先知和使徒到他们那里,有些要被杀害,有些要遭迫害’, 50-51 使创世以来,自亚伯一直到在祭坛和圣所之间被杀的撒迦利亚等众先知的血债,都由这个世代承担。我实在告诉你们,这些罪责都要由这个世代承担。
52 “律法教师啊,你们有祸了!你们拿走了知识的钥匙,自己不进去,还阻挡那些正要进去的人。”
53 耶稣离开那里后,法利赛人和律法教师开始激烈地反对祂,用各种问题刁难祂, 54 伺机找把柄陷害祂。
Luke 11
New International Version
Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer(A)(B)
11 One day Jesus was praying(C) in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord,(D) teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom(E) come.[b]
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c](F)
And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”(G)
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.(H)
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you;(I) seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Jesus and Beelzebul(J)(K)
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.(L) 15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul,(M) the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.”(N) 16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.(O)
17 Jesus knew their thoughts(P) and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan(Q) is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God,(R) then the kingdom of God(S) has come upon you.
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.
23 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(T)
24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”(U)
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”(V)
28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God(W) and obey it.”(X)
The Sign of Jonah(Y)
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign,(Z) but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.(AA) 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom;(AB) and now something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah;(AC) and now something greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body(AD)
33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.(AE) 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[g] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[h] your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”
Woes on the Pharisees and the Experts in the Law
37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table.(AF) 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.(AG)
39 Then the Lord(AH) said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.(AI) 40 You foolish people!(AJ) Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor,(AK) and everything will be clean for you.(AL)
42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth(AM) of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.(AN) You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.(AO)
43 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.(AP)
44 “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves,(AQ) which people walk over without knowing it.”
45 One of the experts in the law(AR) answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”
46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.(AS)
47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.(AT) 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom(AU) said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’(AV) 50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel(AW) to the blood of Zechariah,(AX) who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.(AY)
52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”(AZ)
53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say.(BA)

King James Version
11 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.
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.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
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.
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;
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, 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.
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.
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.
10 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 ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer 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?
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.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16 And others, tempting him, sought 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.
18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
20 But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.
21 When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
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.
23 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 unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
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.
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.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
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.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not 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.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
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.
40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
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.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
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.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
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.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, 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 shall slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
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.
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.
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:
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
