Luke:11-12
mkjv@Luke:11:1 @ And it happened [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.
mkjv@Luke:11:2 @ And He said to them, When you pray, say: Our Father, who [is] in Heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, as in Heaven, so also on the earth.
mkjv@Luke:11:3 @ Give us day by day our daily bread,
mkjv@Luke:11:4 @ and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
mkjv@Luke:11:5 @ 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,
mkjv@Luke:11:6 @ for a friend of mine has come from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him?
mkjv@Luke:11:7 @ And he answering from inside may say, Do not trouble me. The door is now shut and my children are in bed with me. I cannot rise and give to you.
mkjv@Luke:11:8 @ I say to you, though he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needs.
mkjv@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.
mkjv@Luke:11:10 @ For everyone who asks receives. And he who seeks finds. And to him who knocks it shall be opened.
mkjv@Luke:11:11 @ For what father of you, [if] the son asks [for] bread, will he give him a stone? Or if [he asks] for a fish, will he give him a snake for a fish?
mkjv@Luke:11:12 @ Or if he shall ask for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
mkjv@Luke:11:13 @ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall [your] heavenly Father give [the] Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?
mkjv@Luke:11:14 @ And He was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it happened as the demon [was] going out, the dumb one spoke. And the people marveled.
mkjv@Luke:11:15 @ But some of them said, He casts out demons through Beelzebub the chief of the demons.
mkjv@Luke:11:16 @ And others, tempting [Him], sought a sign from Heaven from him.
mkjv@Luke:11:17 @ But knowing their thoughts, He said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. And a house [divided] against a house falls.
mkjv@Luke:11:18 @ If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
mkjv@Luke:11:19 @ And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast [them] out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
mkjv@Luke:11:20 @ But if I cast out demons with [the] finger of God, no doubt the kingdom of God has come on you.
mkjv@Luke:11:21 @ When the strong man, fully armed, guards his dwelling, his goods are in peace.
mkjv@Luke:11:22 @ But when one stronger than he comes, he overcomes him. He takes from him all his armor in which he trusted, and he distributes his arms.
mkjv@Luke:11:23 @ He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
mkjv@Luke:11:24 @ When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he walks through dry places seeking rest. And finding none, he says, I will return to my house from which I came out.
mkjv@Luke:11:25 @ And when he comes, he finds [it] swept and decorated.
mkjv@Luke:11:26 @ And he goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and entering in, they dwell there. And the last state of that man is worse than the first.
mkjv@Luke:11:27 @ And it happened [as] He spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice [and] said to Him, Blessed [is] the womb that bore You, and [the] breasts which You have sucked.
mkjv@Luke:11:28 @ But He said, No; rather, blessed [are] they who hear the Word of God and keep it.
mkjv@Luke:11:29 @ But the crowds pressing on [Him], He began to say, This is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, and no sign will be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet.
mkjv@Luke:11:30 @ For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also shall the Son of man be to this generation.
mkjv@Luke:11:31 @ 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 ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, One greater than Solomon [is] here.
mkjv@Luke:11:32 @ The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the Judgment with this generation and shall condemn it. For they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, One greater than Jonah [is] here.
mkjv@Luke:11:33 @ No one, when he has lighted a lamp, puts [it] in a secret place, or under a grain-measure, but on a lampstand, so that they who come in may see the light.
mkjv@Luke:11:34 @ The light of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is sound, your whole body also is [full of] light. But when [your eye] is evil, your body also [is full of] darkness.
mkjv@Luke:11:35 @ Therefore take heed that the light in you is not darkness.
mkjv@Luke:11:36 @ Therefore if your whole body [is] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be [full of] light, as when the shining of a lamp enlightens you.
mkjv@Luke:11:37 @ And [as He spoke], a certain Pharisee asked Him to dine with him. And He went in and reclined.
mkjv@Luke:11:38 @ And when the Pharisee saw [it], he was amazed that He had not first washed before dinner.
mkjv@Luke:11:39 @ And the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the platter clean, but your inward part is full of plunder and wickedness.
mkjv@Luke:11:40 @ Fools! Did not He who made the outside also make the inside?
mkjv@Luke:11:41 @ But give alms [of] such things as you have, and behold, all things [are] clean to you.
mkjv@Luke:11:42 @ But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over judgment and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to leave the other undone.
mkjv@Luke:11:43 @ Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and greetings in the markets.
mkjv@Luke:11:44 @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like unseen tombs and the men walking above are not aware of them.
mkjv@Luke:11:45 @ And one of the lawyers answered and said to Him, Master, you reproach us also when you say this.
mkjv@Luke:11:46 @ And He said, Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens grievous to be carried, and [you] yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
mkjv@Luke:11:47 @ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
mkjv@Luke:11:48 @ Truly you bear witness that you consent to the deeds of your fathers. For they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs.
mkjv@Luke:11:49 @ Therefore the wisdom of God also said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and [some] of them they shall slay and persecute,
mkjv@Luke:11:50 @ so that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from [the] foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
mkjv@Luke:11:51 @ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, [who] perished between the altar and the temple. Truly I say to you, It shall be required of this generation.
mkjv@Luke:11:52 @ Woe to you, lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and you have hindered those who were entering in.
mkjv@Luke:11:53 @ And as He said these things to them, the scribes and Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw [Him] out concerning many things,
mkjv@Luke:11:54 @ lying in ambush for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, so that they might accuse Him.
mkjv@Luke:12:1 @ In the meantime, when there had gathered together an innumerable crowd of people, so as to trample on one another, He began to say to His disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
mkjv@Luke:12:2 @ For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor anything hidden that shall not be known.
mkjv@Luke:12:3 @ Therefore whatever you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light. And that which you have spoken in the ear in secret rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
mkjv@Luke:12:4 @ And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
mkjv@Luke:12:5 @ But I will warn you of whom you shall fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yea, I say to you, fear Him.
mkjv@Luke:12:6 @ Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And not one of them is forgotten before God.
mkjv@Luke:12:7 @ But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
mkjv@Luke:12:8 @ Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess Me before men, the Son of man also shall confess him before the angels of God.
mkjv@Luke:12:9 @ But he who denies Me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
mkjv@Luke:12:10 @ And whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him. But to him who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, [it] shall not be forgiven.
mkjv@Luke:12:11 @ And when they bring you into the synagogues, and [to] rulers and authorities, take no thought as to how or what thing you shall answer, or what you shall say.
mkjv@Luke:12:12 @ For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what you ought to say.
mkjv@Luke:12:13 @ And one of the company said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
mkjv@Luke:12:14 @ And He said to him, Man, who made Me a judge or a divider over you?
mkjv@Luke:12:15 @ And He said to them, Watch and keep yourselves from covetousness. For a man's life is not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
mkjv@Luke:12:16 @ And He spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.
mkjv@Luke:12:17 @ And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room in which to store my fruits?
mkjv@Luke:12:18 @ And he said, I will do this. I will pull down my barns and build bigger ones, and I will store all my fruits and my goods there.
mkjv@Luke:12:19 @ And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many goods laid [up] for many years. Take your ease, eat drink [and] be merry.
mkjv@Luke:12:20 @ But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul shall be required of you, then whose shall be those things which you have prepared?
mkjv@Luke:12:21 @ So [is] he who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.
mkjv@Luke:12:22 @ And He said to His disciples, Therefore I say to you, Be not anxious as to your life, what you shall eat; nor for the body, what you shall put on.
mkjv@Luke:12:23 @ Life is more than food, and the body [is more] than clothing.
mkjv@Luke:12:24 @ Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap, having neither storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much more are you better than the birds?
mkjv@Luke:12:25 @ And which of you [by] being anxious can add one cubit to his stature?
mkjv@Luke:12:26 @ If then you are not able to do even the least, why are you anxious about the rest?
mkjv@Luke:12:27 @ Consider the lilies, how they grow; they do not toil, they do not spin. And yet I say to you that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
mkjv@Luke:12:28 @ If then God so clothes the grass (which today [is] in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven) how much more [will He clothe] you, O little-faiths?
mkjv@Luke:12:29 @ And do not seek what you shall eat, nor what you shall drink, and stop being in anxiety.
mkjv@Luke:12:30 @ For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you have need of these things.
mkjv@Luke:12:31 @ But rather seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.
mkjv@Luke:12:32 @ Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
mkjv@Luke:12:33 @ Sell what you have and give alms. Make for yourselves purses which do not become old, an unfailing treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes nor moth corrupts.
mkjv@Luke:12:34 @ For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
mkjv@Luke:12:35 @ Let your loins be girded about, and [your] lights burning.
mkjv@Luke:12:36 @ And you yourselves be like men who wait for their lord, whenever he shall return from the wedding, so that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
mkjv@Luke:12:37 @ Blessed [are] those servants whom the lord will find watching when [he] comes. Truly I say to you that he shall gird himself and make them recline; and coming up he will serve them.
mkjv@Luke:12:38 @ And if he comes in the second watch, or comes in the third watch, and find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
mkjv@Luke:12:39 @ And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and would not have allowed his house to be dug through.
mkjv@Luke:12:40 @ Therefore be ready also, for the Son of man comes at an hour when you think not.
mkjv@Luke:12:41 @ And Peter said to Him, Lord, do You speak this parable to us or also to all?
mkjv@Luke:12:42 @ And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward whom [his] lord shall set over his houseservants, to give [them their] portion of food in season?
mkjv@Luke:12:43 @ Blessed [is] that servant [when] his lord comes [and] finds him so doing.
mkjv@Luke:12:44 @ Truly I say to you that he will set him over all his possessions.
mkjv@Luke:12:45 @ But if that servant says in his heart, My lord delays his coming, and shall begin to beat the male servants and women servants, and to eat and drink and to be drunk,
mkjv@Luke:12:46 @ the lord of that servant will come in a day when he does not expect, and at an hour when he does not know. And he will cut him apart, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
mkjv@Luke:12:47 @ And that servant who knew his lord's will and did not prepare, nor did according to His will, shall be beaten with many [stripes].
mkjv@Luke:12:48 @ But he not knowing, and doing [things] worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few [stripes]. For to whomever much is given, of him much shall be required. And to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
mkjv@Luke:12:49 @ I have come to send fire on the earth. And what will I do if it is already kindled?
mkjv@Luke:12:50 @ But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am pressed down until it is accomplished!
mkjv@Luke:12:51 @ Do you suppose that I have come to give peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
mkjv@Luke:12:52 @ For from now on, there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
mkjv@Luke:12:53 @ The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
mkjv@Luke:12:54 @ And He also said to the crowd, When you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately you say, There is a shower coming. And so it is.
mkjv@Luke:12:55 @ And when [you see] the south wind blow, you say, There will be heat; and it occurs.
mkjv@Luke:12:56 @ Hypocrites! You know to discern the face of the heaven and the earth, but how [is it] that you do not discern this time?
mkjv@Luke:12:57 @ And why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right?
mkjv@Luke:12:58 @ For as you go with your adversary to the judge, give pains in the way to be set free from him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into the prison.
mkjv@Luke:12:59 @ I tell you, you shall not depart from there until you have paid the very last lepton.
mkjv@Luke:13:1 @ And some were present at the same time reporting to Him of the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.
