Luke:11:1 @
And it came to pass ,
that as he was in a certain place praying ,
when he ceased ,
one of his disciples said to him :
Lord ,
teach us to pray ,
as John also taught his disciples .
drb @
Luke:11:2 @
And he said to them :
When you pray ,
say :
Father ,
hallowed be thy name .
Thy kingdom come .
drb @
Luke:11:3 @
Give us this day our daily bread .
drb @
Luke:11:4 @
And forgive us our sins ,
for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us .
And lead us not into temptation .
drb @
Luke:11:5 @
And he said to them :
Which of you shall have a friend ,
and shall go to him at midnight ,
and shall say to him :
Friend ,
lend me three loaves ,
drb @
Luke:11:6 @
Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me ,
and I have not what to set before him .
drb @
Luke:11:7 @
And he from within should 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 .
drb @
Luke:11:8 @
Yet if he shall continue knocking ,
I say to you ,
although 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 .
drb @
Luke:11:9 @
And I say to you ,
Ask ,
and it shall be given you :
seek ,
and you shall find :
knock ,
and it shall be opened to you .
drb @
Luke:11:10 @
For every one that asketh ,
receiveth ;
and he that seeketh ,
findeth ;
and to him that knocketh ,
it shall be opened .
drb @
Luke:11:11 @
And which of you ,
if he ask his father bread ,
will he give him a stone ?
or a fish ,
will he for a fish give him a serpent ?
drb @
Luke:11:12 @
Or if he shall ask an egg ,
will he reach him a scorpion ?
drb @
Luke:11:13 @
If you then ,
being evil ,
know how to give good gifts to your children ,
how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him ?
