Luca 11
Conferenza Episcopale Italiana
Il Pater
11 Un giorno Gesù si trovava in un luogo a pregare e quando ebbe finito uno dei discepoli gli disse: «Signore, insegnaci a pregare, come anche Giovanni ha insegnato ai suoi discepoli». 2 Ed egli disse loro: «Quando pregate, dite:
Padre, sia santificato il tuo nome,
venga il tuo regno;
3 dacci ogni giorno il nostro pane quotidiano,
4 e perdonaci i nostri peccati,
perché anche noi perdoniamo ad ogni nostro debitore,
e non ci indurre in tentazione».
L'amico importuno
5 Poi aggiunse: «Se uno di voi ha un amico e va da lui a mezzanotte a dirgli: Amico, prestami tre pani, 6 perché è giunto da me un amico da un viaggio e non ho nulla da mettergli davanti; 7 e se quegli dall'interno gli risponde: Non m'importunare, la porta è gia chiusa e i miei bambini sono a letto con me, non posso alzarmi per darteli; 8 vi dico che, se anche non si alzerà a darglieli per amicizia, si alzerà a dargliene quanti gliene occorrono almeno per la sua insistenza.
Efficacia della preghiera
9 Ebbene io vi dico: Chiedete e vi sarà dato, cercate e troverete, bussate e vi sarà aperto. 10 Perché chi chiede ottiene, chi cerca trova, e a chi bussa sarà aperto. 11 Quale padre tra voi, se il figlio gli chiede un pane, gli darà una pietra? O se gli chiede un pesce, gli darà al posto del pesce una serpe? 12 O se gli chiede un uovo, gli darà uno scorpione? 13 Se dunque voi, che siete cattivi, sapete dare cose buone ai vostri figli, quanto più il Padre vostro celeste darà lo Spirito Santo a coloro che glielo chiedono!».
Gesù e Beelzebul
14 Gesù stava scacciando un demonio che era muto. Uscito il demonio, il muto cominciò a parlare e le folle rimasero meravigliate. 15 Ma alcuni dissero: «E' in nome di Beelzebùl, capo dei demòni, che egli scaccia i demòni». 16 Altri poi, per metterlo alla prova, gli domandavano un segno dal cielo. 17 Egli, conoscendo i loro pensieri, disse: «Ogni regno diviso in se stesso va in rovina e una casa cade sull'altra. 18 Ora, se anche satana è diviso in se stesso, come potrà stare in piedi il suo regno? Voi dite che io scaccio i demòni in nome di Beelzebùl. 19 Ma se io scaccio i demòni in nome di Beelzebùl, i vostri discepoli in nome di chi li scacciano? Perciò essi stessi saranno i vostri giudici. 20 Se invece io scaccio i demòni con il dito di Dio, è dunque giunto a voi il regno di Dio.
21 Quando un uomo forte, bene armato, fa la guardia al suo palazzo, tutti i suoi beni stanno al sicuro. 22 Ma se arriva uno più forte di lui e lo vince, gli strappa via l'armatura nella quale confidava e ne distribuisce il bottino.
Intransigenza di Gesù
23 Chi non è con me, è contro di me; e chi non raccoglie con me, disperde.
Ritorno offensivo dello spirito immondo
24 Quando lo spirito immondo esce dall'uomo, si aggira per luoghi aridi in cerca di riposo e, non trovandone, dice: Ritornerò nella mia casa da cui sono uscito. 25 Venuto, la trova spazzata e adorna. 26 Allora va, prende con sé altri sette spiriti peggiori di lui ed essi entrano e vi alloggiano e la condizione finale di quell'uomo diventa peggiore della prima».
La vera beatitudine
27 Mentre diceva questo, una donna alzò la voce di mezzo alla folla e disse: «Beato il ventre che ti ha portato e il seno da cui hai preso il latte!». 28 Ma egli disse: «Beati piuttosto coloro che ascoltano la parola di Dio e la osservano!».
Il segno di Giona
29 Mentre le folle si accalcavano, Gesù cominciò a dire: «Questa generazione è una generazione malvagia; essa cerca un segno, ma non le sarà dato nessun segno fuorchè il segno di Giona. 30 Poiché come Giona fu un segno per quelli di Nìnive, così anche il Figlio dell'uomo lo sarà per questa generazione. 31 La regina del sud sorgerà nel giudizio insieme con gli uomini di questa generazione e li condannerà; perché essa venne dalle estremità della terra per ascoltare la sapienza di Salomone. Ed ecco, ben più di Salomone c'è qui. 32 Quelli di Nìnive sorgeranno nel giudizio insieme con questa generazione e la condanneranno; perché essi alla predicazione di Giona si convertirono. Ed ecco, ben più di Giona c'è qui.
Ancora la parabola della lucerna
33 Nessuno accende una lucerna e la mette in luogo nascosto o sotto il moggio, ma sopra il lucerniere, perché quanti entrano vedano la luce. 34 La lucerna del tuo corpo è l'occhio. Se il tuo occhio è sano, anche il tuo corpo è tutto nella luce; ma se è malato, anche il tuo corpo è nelle tenebre. 35 Bada dunque che la luce che è in te non sia tenebra. 36 Se il tuo corpo è tutto luminoso senza avere alcuna parte nelle tenebre, tutto sarà luminoso, come quando la lucerna ti illumina con il suo bagliore».
Contro i farisei e i dottori della legge
37 Dopo che ebbe finito di parlare, un fariseo lo invitò a pranzo. Egli entrò e si mise a tavola. 38 Il fariseo si meravigliò che non avesse fatto le abluzioni prima del pranzo. 39 Allora il Signore gli disse: «Voi farisei purificate l'esterno della coppa e del piatto, ma il vostro interno è pieno di rapina e di iniquità. 40 Stolti! Colui che ha fatto l'esterno non ha forse fatto anche l'interno? 41 Piuttosto date in elemosina quel che c'è dentro, ed ecco, tutto per voi sarà mondo. 42 Ma guai a voi, farisei, che pagate la decima della menta, della ruta e di ogni erbaggio, e poi trasgredite la giustizia e l'amore di Dio. Queste cose bisognava curare senza trascurare le altre. 43 Guai a voi, farisei, che avete cari i primi posti nelle sinagoghe e i saluti sulle piazze. 44 Guai a voi perché siete come quei sepolcri che non si vedono e la gente vi passa sopra senza saperlo».
45 Uno dei dottori della legge intervenne: «Maestro, dicendo questo, offendi anche noi». 46 Egli rispose: «Guai anche a voi, dottori della legge, che caricate gli uomini di pesi insopportabili, e quei pesi voi non li toccate nemmeno con un dito! 47 Guai a voi, che costruite i sepolcri dei profeti, e i vostri padri li hanno uccisi. 48 Così voi date testimonianza e approvazione alle opere dei vostri padri: essi li uccisero e voi costruite loro i sepolcri. 49 Per questo la sapienza di Dio ha detto: Manderò a loro profeti e apostoli ed essi li uccideranno e perseguiteranno; 50 perché sia chiesto conto a questa generazione del sangue di tutti i profeti, versato fin dall'inizio del mondo, 51 dal sangue di Abele fino al sangue di Zaccaria, che fu ucciso tra l'altare e il santuario. Sì, vi dico, ne sarà chiesto conto a questa generazione. 52 Guai a voi, dottori della legge, che avete tolto la chiave della scienza. Voi non siete entrati, e a quelli che volevano entrare l'avete impedito».
53 Quando fu uscito di là, gli scribi e i farisei cominciarono a trattarlo ostilmente e a farlo parlare su molti argomenti, 54 tendendogli insidie, per sorprenderlo in qualche parola uscita dalla sua stessa bocca.

1550 Stephanus New Testament
11 και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τοπω τινι προσευχομενον ως επαυσατο ειπεν τις των μαθητων αυτου προς αυτον κυριε διδαξον ημας προσευχεσθαι καθως και ιωαννης εδιδαξεν τους μαθητας αυτου
2 ειπεν δε αυτοις οταν προσευχησθε λεγετε πατερ ημων ο εν τοις ουρανοις αγιασθητω το ονομα σου ελθετω η βασιλεια σου γενηθητω το θελημα σου ως εν ουρανω και επι της γης
3 τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον διδου ημιν το καθ ημεραν
4 και αφες ημιν τας αμαρτιας ημων και γαρ αυτοι αφιεμεν παντι οφειλοντι ημιν και μη εισενεγκης ημας εις πειρασμον αλλα ρυσαι ημας απο του πονηρου
5 και ειπεν προς αυτους τις εξ υμων εξει φιλον και πορευσεται προς αυτον μεσονυκτιου και ειπη αυτω φιλε χρησον μοι τρεις αρτους
6 επειδη φιλος μου παρεγενετο εξ οδου προς με και ουκ εχω ο παραθησω αυτω
7 κακεινος εσωθεν αποκριθεις ειπη μη μοι κοπους παρεχε ηδη η θυρα κεκλεισται και τα παιδια μου μετ εμου εις την κοιτην εισιν ου δυναμαι αναστας δουναι σοι
8 λεγω υμιν ει και ου δωσει αυτω αναστας δια το ειναι αυτου φιλον δια γε την αναιδειαν αυτου εγερθεις δωσει αυτω οσων χρηζει
9 καγω υμιν λεγω αιτειτε και δοθησεται υμιν ζητειτε και ευρησετε κρουετε και ανοιγησεται υμιν
10 πας γαρ ο αιτων λαμβανει και ο ζητων ευρισκει και τω κρουοντι ανοιγησεται
11 τινα δε υμων τον πατερα αιτησει ο υιος αρτον μη λιθον επιδωσει αυτω ει και ιχθυν μη αντι ιχθυος οφιν επιδωσει αυτω
12 η και εαν αιτηση ωον μη επιδωσει αυτω σκορπιον
13 ει ουν υμεις πονηροι υπαρχοντες οιδατε αγαθα δοματα διδοναι τοις τεκνοις υμων ποσω μαλλον ο πατηρ ο εξ ουρανου δωσει πνευμα αγιον τοις αιτουσιν αυτον
14 και ην εκβαλλων δαιμονιον και αυτο ην κωφον εγενετο δε του δαιμονιου εξελθοντος ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι
15 τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον εν βεελζεβουλ αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια

17 αυτος δε ειδως αυτων τα διανοηματα ειπεν αυτοις πασα βασιλεια εφ εαυτην διαμερισθεισα ερημουται και οικος επι οικον πιπτει
18 ει δε και ο σατανας εφ εαυτον διεμερισθη πως σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου οτι λεγετε εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλειν με τα δαιμονια
19 ει δε εγω εν βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλλουσιν δια τουτο κριται υμων αυτοι εσονται
20 ει δε εν δακτυλω θεου εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια αρα εφθασεν εφ υμας η βασιλεια του θεου
21 οταν ο ισχυρος καθωπλισμενος φυλασση την εαυτου αυλην εν ειρηνη εστιν τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
22 επαν δε ο ισχυροτερος αυτου επελθων νικηση αυτον την πανοπλιαν αυτου αιρει εφ η επεποιθει και τα σκυλα αυτου διαδιδωσιν
23 ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει
24 οταν το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν και μη ευρισκον λεγει υποστρεψω εις τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον
25 και ελθον ευρισκει σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον
26 τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει επτα ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων
27 εγενετο δε εν τω λεγειν αυτον ταυτα επαρασα τις γυνη φωνην εκ του οχλου ειπεν αυτω μακαρια η κοιλια η βαστασασα σε και μαστοι ους εθηλασας
28 αυτος δε ειπεν μενουνγε μακαριοι οι ακουοντες τον λογον του θεου και φυλασσοντες αυτον
29 των δε οχλων επαθροιζομενων ηρξατο λεγειν η γενεα αυτη πονηρα εστιν σημειον επιζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον ιωνα του προφητου
30 καθως γαρ εγενετο ιωνας σημειον τοις νινευιταις ουτως εσται και ο υιος του ανθρωπου τη γενεα ταυτη
31 βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα των ανδρων της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινει αυτους οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης ακουσαι την σοφιαν σολομωντος και ιδου πλειον σολομωντος ωδε
32 ανδρες νινευι αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινουσιν αυτην οτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα ιωνα και ιδου πλειον ιωνα ωδε
33 ουδεις δε λυχνον αψας εις κρυπτον τιθησιν ουδε υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν ινα οι εισπορευομενοι το φεγγος βλεπωσιν
34 ο λυχνος του σωματος εστιν ο οφθαλμος οταν ουν ο οφθαλμος σου απλους η και ολον το σωμα σου φωτεινον εστιν επαν δε πονηρος η και το σωμα σου σκοτεινον
35 σκοπει ουν μη το φως το εν σοι σκοτος εστιν
36 ει ουν το σωμα σου ολον φωτεινον μη εχον τι μερος σκοτεινον εσται φωτεινον ολον ως οταν ο λυχνος τη αστραπη φωτιζη σε

38 ο δε φαρισαιος ιδων εθαυμασεν οτι ου πρωτον εβαπτισθη προ του αριστου
39 ειπεν δε ο κυριος προς αυτον νυν υμεις οι φαρισαιοι το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και του πινακος καθαριζετε το δε εσωθεν υμων γεμει αρπαγης και πονηριας
40 αφρονες ουχ ο ποιησας το εξωθεν και το εσωθεν εποιησεν
41 πλην τα ενοντα δοτε ελεημοσυνην και ιδου παντα καθαρα υμιν εστιν
42 αλλ ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το πηγανον και παν λαχανον και παρερχεσθε την κρισιν και την αγαπην του θεου ταυτα εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη αφιεναι
43 ουαι υμιν τοις φαρισαιοις οτι αγαπατε την πρωτοκαθεδριαν εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις
44 ουαι υμιν γραμματεις και φαρισαιοι υποκριται οτι εστε ως τα μνημεια τα αδηλα και οι ανθρωποι οι περιπατουντες επανω ουκ οιδασιν
45 αποκριθεις δε τις των νομικων λεγει αυτω διδασκαλε ταυτα λεγων και ημας υβριζεις

48 αρα μαρτυρειτε και συνευδοκειτε τοις εργοις των πατερων υμων οτι αυτοι μεν απεκτειναν αυτους υμεις δε οικοδομειτε αυτων τα μνημεια
49 δια τουτο και η σοφια του θεου ειπεν αποστελω εις αυτους προφητας και αποστολους και εξ αυτων αποκτενουσιν και εκδιωξουσιν

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)
