Lucas 11
Biblia del Jubileo
11 ¶ Y aconteció que estando él orando en un lugar, cuando terminó, uno de sus discípulos le dijo: Señor, enséñanos a orar, como también Juan enseñó a sus discípulos.
2 Y les dijo: Cuando oréis, decid: Padre nuestro que estás en los cielos; sea tu Nombre santificado. Venga tu Reino. Sea hecha tu voluntad, como en el cielo, así también en la tierra.
3 El pan nuestro de cada día, dánoslo hoy.
4 Y perdónanos nuestros pecados, porque también nosotros perdonamos a todos los que nos deben. Y no nos metas en tentación, mas líbranos de mal.
5 Les dijo también: ¿Quién de vosotros tendrá un amigo, e irá a él a medianoche, y le dirá: Amigo, préstame tres panes,
6 porque un amigo ha venido a mí de camino, y no tengo qué ponerle delante;
7 y el de dentro respondiendo, dijere: No me seas molesto; la puerta está ya cerrada, y mis niños están conmigo en la cama; no puedo levantarme, y darte.
8 Os digo, que aunque no se levante a darle por ser su amigo, sin embargo, por su importunidad se levantará, y le dará todo lo que necesite.
9 Y yo os digo: Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; tocad, y os será abierto.
10 Porque todo aquel que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que toca, es abierto.
11 ¿Y cuál padre de vosotros, si su hijo le pidiere pan, le dará una piedra?, o, si pescado, ¿en lugar de pescado, le dará una serpiente?
12 O, si le pidiere un huevo, ¿le dará un escorpión?
13 Pues si vosotros, siendo malos, sabéis dar buenas dádivas a vuestros hijos, ¿cuánto más vuestro Padre celestial dará el Espíritu Santo a los que lo pidieren de él?
14 ¶ Y estaba él lanzando un demonio, el cual era mudo; y aconteció que salido fuera el demonio, el mudo habló y la multitud se maravilló.
15 Y algunos de ellos decían: En Beelzebú, príncipe de los demonios, echa fuera los demonios.
16 Y otros, tentándolo, pedían de él señal del cielo.
17 Mas él, conociendo los pensamientos de ellos, les dijo: Todo reino dividido contra sí mismo, es desolado; y toda ciudad o casa dividida contra sí mismo, no permanecerá.
18 Y si también Satanás está dividido contra sí mismo, ¿cómo estará en pie su reino? Ya que decís que en Beelzebú echo yo fuera los demonios.
19 Pues si yo echo fuera los demonios en Beelzebú, ¿vuestros hijos en quién los echan fuera? Por tanto, ellos serán vuestros jueces.
20 Mas si por el dedo de Dios echo yo fuera los demonios, cierto el Reino de Dios ha llegado a vosotros.
21 Cuando el fuerte armado guarda su palacio, en paz está lo que posee.
22 Mas si sobreviniendo otro más fuerte que él, le venciere, le toma todas sus armas en que confiaba, y reparte sus despojos.
23 El que no es conmigo, contra mí es; y el que conmigo no recoge, desparrama.
24 Cuando el espíritu inmundo saliere del hombre, anda por lugares secos, buscando reposo; y no hallándolo, dice: Me volveré a mi casa de donde salí.
25 Y viniendo, la halla barrida y adornada.
26 Entonces va, y toma otros siete espíritus más malos que él; y entrados, habitan allí; y el postrer estado del tal hombre viene a ser peor que el primero.
27 ¶ Y aconteció que diciendo él estas cosas, una mujer de la multitud, levantando la voz, le dijo: Bienaventurado el vientre que te trajo, y los pechos que mamaste.
28 Y él dijo: Antes bienaventurados los que oyen la palabra de Dios, y la guardan.
29 ¶ Y juntándose la multitud a él, comenzó a decir: Esta generación es mala; señal busca, mas señal no le será dada, sino la señal de Jonás profeta.
30 Porque como Jonás fue señal a los ninivitas, así también será el Hijo del hombre a esta generación.
31 La reina del austro se levantará en el juicio contra los hombres de esta generación, y los condenará; porque vino de los fines de la tierra a oír la sabiduría de Salomón; y he aquí más que Salomón en este lugar.
32 Los hombres de Nínive se levantarán en el juicio contra esta generación, y la condenarán; porque a la predicación de Jonás se arrepintieron; y he aquí más que Jonás en este lugar.
33 Nadie pone en oculto la lámpara encendida, ni debajo del almud, sino en el candelero, para que los que entran vean la lumbre.
34 La lámpara del cuerpo es el ojo; pues si tu ojo fuere sincero, también todo tu cuerpo será resplandeciente; mas si fuere malo, también tu cuerpo será tenebroso.
35 Mira pues, si la lumbre que en ti hay, es tinieblas.
36 Así que, siendo todo tu cuerpo resplandeciente, no teniendo alguna parte de tinieblas, será todo luminoso, como cuando una lámpara de resplandor te alumbra.
37 ¶ Y luego que hubo hablado, le rogó un fariseo que comiera con él; y él entró y se sentó a la mesa.
38 Y el fariseo, cuando lo vio, se maravilló de que no se lavó antes de comer.
39 Y el Señor le dijo: Ahora vosotros los fariseos limpiáis lo de fuera del vaso y del plato; mas lo que está dentro de vosotros está lleno de rapiña y de maldad.
40 Locos, ¿el que hizo lo de fuera, no hizo también lo de dentro?
41 Pero de lo que os resta, dad limosna {lit. actos de misericordia}; y he aquí todo os será limpio.
42 Mas ¡ay de vosotros, fariseos! Que diezmáis la menta, y la ruda, y toda hortaliza; pero el juicio y la caridad de Dios pasáis de largo. Pues estas cosas era necesario hacer, y no dejar las otras.
43 ¡Ay de vosotros, fariseos! Que amáis las primeras sillas en las sinagogas, y las salutaciones en las plazas.
44 ¡Ay de vosotros, escribas y fariseos, hipócritas! Que sois como sepulcros que no se ven, y los hombres que andan encima no lo saben.
45 Y respondiendo uno de los doctores de la ley, le dice: Maestro, cuando dices esto, también nos afrentas a nosotros.
46 Y él dijo: ¡Ay de vosotros también, doctores de la ley! Que cargáis a los hombres con cargas que no pueden llevar; mas vosotros ni aun con un dedo tocáis las cargas.
47 ¡Ay de vosotros! Que edificáis los sepulcros de los profetas, y los mataron vuestros padres.
48 De cierto dais testimonio que consentís en los hechos de vuestros padres; porque a la verdad ellos los mataron, mas vosotros edificáis sus sepulcros.
49 Por tanto, la sabiduría de Dios también dijo: Enviaré a ellos profetas y apóstoles; y de ellos a unos matarán y a otros perseguirán;
50 para que de esta generación sea demandada la sangre de todos los profetas, que ha sido derramada desde la fundación del mundo;
51 desde la sangre de Abel, hasta la sangre de Zacarías, que murió entre el altar y la Casa; así os digo, será demandada de esta generación.
52 ¡Ay de vosotros, doctores de la ley! Que os tomasteis la llave de la ciencia; vosotros mismos no entrasteis, y a los que entraban impedisteis.
53 Y diciéndoles estas cosas, los escribas y los fariseos comenzaron a apretarle en gran manera, y a provocarle a que hablara de muchas cosas;
54 acechándole, y procurando cazar algo de su boca para acusarle.
Luke 11
New King James Version
The Model Prayer(A)
11 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.”
2 So He said to them, “When you pray, say:
(B)Our[a] Father [b]in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.
[c]Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
3 Give us day by day our daily bread.
4 And (C)forgive us our sins,
For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
[d]But deliver us from the evil one.”
A Friend Comes at Midnight
5 And He said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’? 8 I say to you, (D)though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
Keep Asking, Seeking, Knocking(E)
9 (F)“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; (G)seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. 11 (H)If a son asks for [e]bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If you then, being evil, know how to give (I)good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
A House Divided Cannot Stand(J)
14 (K)And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke; and the multitudes marveled. 15 But some of them said, (L)“He casts out demons by [f]Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”
16 Others, testing Him, (M)sought from Him a sign from heaven. 17 (N)But (O)He, knowing their thoughts, said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and a house divided against a house falls. 18 If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if I cast out demons (P)with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 (Q)When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. 22 But (R)when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and divides his [g]spoils. 23 (S)He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
An Unclean Spirit Returns(T)
24 (U)“When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when he comes, he finds it swept and put in order. 26 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and (V)the last state of that man is worse than the first.”
Keeping the Word
27 And it happened, as He spoke these things, that a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, (W)“Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts which nursed You!”
28 But He said, (X)“More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”
Seeking a Sign(Y)
29 (Z)And while the crowds were thickly gathered together, He began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks a (AA)sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah [h]the prophet. 30 For as (AB)Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also the Son of Man will be to this generation. 31 (AC)The queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and indeed a (AD)greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for (AE)they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and indeed a greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body(AF)
33 (AG)“No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a (AH)basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. 34 (AI)The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is [i]good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is [j]bad, your body also is full of darkness. 35 Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light.”
Woe to the Pharisees and Lawyers
37 And as He spoke, a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. So He went in and sat down to eat. 38 (AJ)When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that He had not first washed before dinner.
39 (AK)Then the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and dish clean, but (AL)your inward part is full of [k]greed and wickedness. 40 Foolish ones! Did not (AM)He who made the outside make the inside also? 41 (AN)But rather give alms of [l]such things as you have; then indeed all things are clean to you.
42 (AO)“But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and (AP)pass by justice and the (AQ)love of God. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 43 (AR)Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the [m]best seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 (AS)Woe to you, [n]scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! (AT)For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk over them are not aware of them.”
45 Then one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, “Teacher, by saying these things You reproach us also.”
46 And He said, “Woe to you also, lawyers! (AU)For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (AV)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. 48 In fact, you bear witness that you approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, (AW)‘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 was shed from the foundation of the world may be required of this generation, 51 (AX)from the blood of Abel to (AY)the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the temple. Yes, I say to you, it shall be required of this generation.
52 (AZ)“Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”
53 [o]And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, [p]and (BA)seeking to catch Him in something He might say, [q]that they might accuse Him.

English Standard Version
The Lord's Prayer
11 Now Jesus[a] was praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, (A)as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, (B)“When you pray, say:
(C)“Father, (D)hallowed be (E)your name.
(F)Your kingdom come.
3 (G)Give us (H)each day our daily bread,[b]
4 and (I)forgive us our sins,
for we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And (J)lead us not into temptation.”
5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything (K)because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence[c] he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, (L)ask, and (M)it will be given to you; (N)seek, and you will find; (O)knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for[d] a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; 12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, (P)who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father (Q)give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Jesus and Beelzebul
14 (R)Now he was casting out a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke, and the people marveled. 15 But some of them said, “He casts out demons (S)by Beelzebul, the prince of demons,” 16 while others, (T)to test him, kept seeking from him a sign from heaven. 17 (U)But he, (V)knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls. 18 And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. 19 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, (W)by whom do (X)your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. 20 But if it is by (Y)the finger of God that I cast out demons, then (Z)the kingdom of God has come upon you. 21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; 22 (AA)but when one stronger than he attacks him and (AB)overcomes him, he takes away his (AC)armor in which he trusted and (AD)divides his spoil. 23 (AE)Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.
Return of an Unclean Spirit
24 (AF)“When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through (AG)waterless places seeking rest, and finding none it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ 25 And when it comes, it finds the house swept and put in order. 26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there. And (AH)the last state of that person is worse than the first.”
True Blessedness
27 As he said these things, (AI)a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, (AJ)“Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!” 28 But he said, (AK)“Blessed rather are those (AL)who hear the word of God and (AM)keep it!”
The Sign of Jonah
29 (AN)When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, (AO)“This generation is an evil generation. (AP)It seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah. 30 For as (AQ)Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 (AR)The queen of the South will rise up at the judgment with the men of this generation and (AS)condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, (AT)something greater than Solomon is here. 32 (AU)The men of Nineveh will rise up at the judgment with this generation and (AV)condemn it, for (AW)they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, (AX)something greater than Jonah is here.
The Light in You
33 (AY)“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. 34 Your eye is (AZ)the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is (BA)bad, your body is full of darkness. 35 (BB)Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. 36 If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, (BC)as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.”
Woes to the Pharisees and Lawyers
37 While Jesus[e] was speaking, (BD)a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. 38 The Pharisee was astonished to see (BE)that he did not first wash before dinner. 39 And the Lord said to him, (BF)“Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of (BG)greed and wickedness. 40 (BH)You fools! (BI)Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But (BJ)give as alms those things that are within, and behold, (BK)everything is clean for you.
42 (BL)“But woe to you Pharisees! For (BM)you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect (BN)justice and (BO)the love of God. (BP)These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 43 Woe to you Pharisees! For (BQ)you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. 44 Woe to you! (BR)For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.”
45 One of (BS)the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” 46 And he said, “Woe to you (BT)lawyers also! For (BU)you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. 47 (BV)Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. 48 (BW)So you are witnesses and you (BX)consent to the deeds of (BY)your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. 49 Therefore also (BZ)the Wisdom of God said, (CA)‘I will send them (CB)prophets and apostles, (CC)some of whom they will (CD)kill and persecute,’ 50 so that (CE)the blood of all the prophets, shed (CF)from the foundation of the world, may be (CG)charged against this generation, 51 from the blood of (CH)Abel to the blood of (CI)Zechariah, who perished between (CJ)the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be (CK)required of this generation. 52 Woe to you (CL)lawyers! (CM)For you have taken away the key of (CN)knowledge. You (CO)did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”
53 As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things, 54 (CP)lying in wait for him, (CQ)to catch him in something he might say.
