Luke 11
1 One day in a place where Jesus had just finished praying, one of His disciples requested, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
AND it was that while he was praying in a certain place, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, Our Lord, teach us to pray as also Juchanon taught his disciples.
2 So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.
Jeshu said to them, When you pray, thus be saying, Our Father who (art) in the heavens, be sanctified thy name. Come thy kingdom. Be done thy will as in the heavens also upon earth.
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
Give to us the bread of our need every day,
4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive all who are indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil.
5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,
And he said to them, Who of you that has a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him, My friend, lend me three loaves,
6 because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’
because a friend has come to me from the way, and I have nothing to set to him?
7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’
and that friend from within shall answer and say unto him, Disturb me not, for the door is shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give to you.
8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
I tell you if for friendship's sake he will not give him, (yet) because of importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him.
11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
For what father (is there) among you who, if his son shall ask bread, will reach to him a stone? or should he ask a fish, how instead of a fish will he reach to him a serpent?
12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
or if an egg he shall ask, will he a scorpion reach to him?
13 So if you who 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!”
And if you, who are evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from the heavens give the Spirit of Holiness to those who ask him!
14 One day Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. And when the demon was gone, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowds were amazed,
AND he was casting out a demon which was dumb; and when he had cast out the demon, the dumb spake, and the multitudes wondered.
15 but some of them said, “It is by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons, that He drives out demons.”
But some from them said, By Beelzebub, the prince of the devils, he casteth out devils;
16 And others tested Him by demanding a sign from heaven.
while others, tempting him, the sign from heaven demanded of him.
17 Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be laid waste, and a house divided against a house will fall.
But Jeshu, who knew their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom which is divided against itself will be desolated; and a house that against its own self is divided falleth;
18 If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.
and if Satana against himself be divided, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast out devils.
19 And if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.
But if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, your sons, by what do they cast (them) out? On account of this they shall be your judges.
20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
But if by the finger of Aloha I cast out devils, there hath drawn nigh upon you the kingdom of Aloha.
21 When a strong man, fully armed, guards his house, his possessions are secure.
When the strong one armed keepeth his court, his possession is in peace;
22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted, and then he divides up his plunder.
but if a stronger than he shall come, he shall overcome him; all his armour he taketh on which he depended, and he divideth his spoils.
23 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.
He who is not with me is against me; and he who does not collect with me, by scattering he scattereth.
24 When an unclean spirit comes out of a man, it passes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’
The unclean spirit, when he hath gone out from a son of man, goeth about through regions which have no waters in them, because he seeketh to him rest. And when he cannot find it he saith, I will return to my house from whence I went out.
25 On its return, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.
And when he cometh he findeth it swept and ornamented.
26 Then it goes and brings seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and dwell there. And the final plight of that man is worse than the first.”
Then he goeth, taketh seven other spirits who are more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last of that man is worse than his first.
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and blessed are the breasts that nursed You!”
AND while he spake these words, a certain woman lifted up her voice from the crowd, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou hast sucked!
28 But He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.”
He said to her, Blessed are they who hear the word of Aloha and keep it.
29 As the crowds were increasing, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It demands a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
And when the assemblies had gathered together, he began to say, This evil generation requireth a sign; but no sign shall be given to it save the sign of Jaunon the prophet.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
For as was Jaunon a sign to the Ninvoyee, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The Queen of the South will rise at 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 now One greater than Solomon is here.
The queen of the south shall rise in judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them; for she came from the confines of the earth to hear the wisdom of Shelemun, and, lo, a greater than Shelemun is here.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now One greater than Jonah is here.
The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jaunon, and, lo, a greater than Jaunon is here.
33 No one lights a lamp and puts it in a cellar or under a basket. Instead, he sets it on a stand, so those who enter can see the light.
No man lighteth a lamp and setteth it in a secret (place) or under a measure, but upon a candlestick, that they who enter may see the light of it.
34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body is full of darkness.
The lamp of thy body is thine eye; when therefore thine eye is simple, thy whole body also will be illuminated; but if it be evil, thy body also will be darkness.
35 Be careful, then, that the light within you is not darkness.
Beware, therefore, lest the light that is in thee become darkness.
36 So if your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, you will be radiant, as though a lamp were shining on you.”
But if thy whole body be illuminated, and no part whatever in it be darkness, the whole will be light, as when a lamp with its flame enlighteneth thee.
37 As Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to dine with him; so He went in and reclined at the table.
AND as he was speaking, a certain Pharisha requested of him to dine with him, and he went in to recline.
38 But the Pharisee was surprised to see that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.
But he, the Pharisha, when he saw him, wondered that he had not first washed before his dinner.
39 “Now then,” said the Lord, “you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.
But Jeshu said to him, Now you Pharishee cleanse the outside of the cup and the dish, but within you are full of rapine and wickedness.
40 You fools! Did not the One who made the outside make the inside as well?
Wanting in understanding! did not he who made that which is without, make also that which is within?
41 But give as alms the things that are within you, and you will see that everything is clean for you.
But of whatever there is, give in alms, and, behold, every thing is clean to you.
42 Woe to you Pharisees! You pay tithes of mint, rue, and every herb, but you disregard justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without neglecting the former.
But woe to you, Pharishee! for you tithe mint, and rue, and every herb, and pass by judgment and the love of Aloha. These hath it behoved you to do, and those not to have omitted.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! You love the chief seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.
Woe to you, Pharishee! for you love the chief seats in the assemblies, and the salutation in the public places.
44 Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without even noticing.”
Woe to you, scribes and Pharishee, hypocrites! for you are like tombs that are not known, and men walk upon them, and do not know.
45 One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”
And one of the Sophree answered and said to him, Doctor, while you say these things, you vilify us also!
46 “Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.
But he said, Also unto you, Sophree, woe! because you lade men with heavy burdens, and you with one of your fingers will not touch those burdens.
47 Woe to you! You build tombs for the prophets, but it was your fathers who killed them.
Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed:
48 So you are witnesses consenting to the deeds of your fathers: They killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.
thus you bear witness that you consent in the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their sepulchres.
49 Because of this, the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles; some of them they will kill and others they will persecute.’
ON this account also Wisdom saith, Behold, I will send to them prophets and apostles; and of them they will persecute and kill;
50 As a result, this generation will be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the foundation of the world,
that the blood of all the prophets which hath been shed from the creation of the world may be required from this generation.
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, all of it will be charged to this generation.
From the blood of Habil unto the blood of Zakaria who was killed between the temple and the altar: yes, I tell you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
Woe to you, Sophree; for you have taken away the key of knowledge; you enter not in (yourselves), and they who are entering you prohibit.
53 As Jesus went on from there, the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly and to ply Him with questions about many things,
And while he spoke these (words) to them, the Sophree and Pharishee began to be displeased, and they were wrathful, and controverted his words, and enticed him on many (points),
54 waiting to catch Him in something He might say.
seeking to lay hold on something from his mouth that they might be able to accuse him.
