Luke 11
1 And it came to pass, as he was in a certain place praying, that when he ceased one of his disciples said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.
And so it was, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teache vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples.
2 And he said to them, When ye pray, say, Father, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come;
And he said vnto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father, which art in heauen, halowed be thy Name: Thy kingdome come: Let thy will be done, euen in earth, as it is in heauen:
3 give us day by day our daily bread;
Our dayly bread giue vs for the day:
4 and forgive us our sins, for even we ourselves forgive every one that is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation.
And forgiue vs our sinnes: for euen we forgiue euery man that is indetted to vs: And leade vs not into temptation: but deliuer vs from euill.
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;
Moreouer he said vnto them, Which of you shall haue a friende, and shall goe to him at midnight, and say vnto him, Friende, lende mee three loaues?
6 for a friend of mine hath come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him?
For a friende of mine is come out of the way to me, and I haue nothing to set before him:
7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not; the door is now shut, and I and my children are in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
And hee within shoulde answere, and say, Trouble mee not: the doore is nowe shut, and my children are with mee in bed: I can not rise and giue them to thee.
8 I say to you, though 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.
I say vnto you, Though he would not arise and giue him, because he is his friende, yet doubtlesse because of his importunitie, hee woulde rise, and giue him as many as he needed.
9 And I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
And I say vnto you, Aske, and it shall be giuen you: seeke, and yee shall finde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.
10 For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.
For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened.
11 And what father is there, among you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone? or if he ask for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?
If a sonne shall aske bread of any of you that is a father, will he giue him a stone? or if hee aske a fish, will he for a fish giue him a serpent?
12 or, if he ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
Or if hee aske an egge, will hee giue him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, though 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!
If yee then which are euill, can giue good giftes vnto your children, howe much more shall your heauenly Father giue the holy Ghost to them, that desire him?
14 And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb; and it came to pass, when the demon had gone out, that the dumb man spoke. And the multitudes wondered.
Then hee cast out a deuill which was domme: and when the deuill was gone out, the domme spake, and the people wondered.
15 But some of them said, He casteth out the demons through Beelzebul, the prince of the demons;
But some of them said, He casteth out deuils through Beelzebub the chiefe of ye deuils.
16 and others, to make trial of him, asked of him a sign from heaven.
And others tempted him, seeking of him a signe from heauen.
17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and house divided against house falleth.
But he knew their thoughts, and said vnto them, Euery kingdom deuided against it self, shall be desolate, and an house deuided against an house, falleth.
18 And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? For ye say that I cast out the demons through Beelzebul.
So if Satan also bee deuided against himselfe, howe shall his kingdome stande, because yee say that I cast out deuils through Beelzebub?
19 But if I cast out the demons through Beelzebul, through whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore shall they be judges of you.
If I through Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whome doe your children cast them out? Therefore shall they be your iudges.
20 But if I cast out the demons through the finger of God, then hath the kingdom of God already come to you.
But if I by ye finger of God cast out deuils, doutles the kingdome of God is come vnto you.
21 When a strong man armed guardeth his palace, his goods are in peace;
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, the thinges that hee possesseth, are in peace.
22 but when one stronger than he cometh upon him and overcometh him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
But when a stronger then hee, commeth vpon him, and ouercommeth him: hee taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and deuideth his spoiles.
23 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
He that is not with me, is against me: and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out from a man, it goeth through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, it saith, I will return to my house whence I came out.
When the vncleane spirite is gone out of a man, he walketh through drie places, seeking rest: and when he findeth none he saieth, I wil returne vnto mine house whence I came out.
25 And on coming, it findeth it swept and put in order.
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then it goeth, and taketh with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they enter in, and dwell there; and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.
Then goeth hee, and taketh to him seuen other spirites worse then himselfe: and they enter in, and dwel there: so the last state of that man is worse then the first.
27 And it came to pass, as he was saying these things, that a certain woman lifted up her voice from the crowd, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore thee, and the breasts from which thou drewest nourishment.
And it came to passe as he sayde these thinges, a certaine woman of the companie lifted vp her voyce, and sayde vnto him, Blessed is the wombe that bare thee, and the pappes which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Blessed rather are they that hear the word of God and keep it.
But hee saide, Yea, rather blessed are they that heare the woorde of God, and keepe it.
29 And when the crowds were thronging about him, he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation; it seeketh a sign; and no sign will be given it, but the sign of Jonah.
And when the people were gathered thicke together, he began to say, This is a wicked generation: they seeke a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen them, but the signe of Ionas the Prophet.
30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of man be to this generation.
For as Ionas was a signe to the Niniuites: so shall also the Sonne of man bee to this generation.
31 The queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and lo! something more than Solomon is here.
The Queene of the South shall rise in iudgement, with the men of this generation, and shall condemne them: for shee came from the vtmost partes of the earth to heare the wisedome of Salomon, and beholde, a greater then Salomon is here.
32 The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and lo! something more than Jonah is here.
The men of Niniue shall rise in iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas: and beholde, a greater then Ionas is here.
33 No one when he has lighted a lamp, puts it into a secret place, or under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.
No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a priuie place, neither vnder a bushell: but on a candlesticke, that they which come in, may see the light.
34 The lamp of the body is thine eye. When thine eye is clear, thy whole body also is in the light; but when it is disordered, thy body also is in darkness.
The light of the bodie is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, then is thy whole bodie light: but if thine eye be euill, then thy bodie is darke.
35 Take heed therefore, that the light which is within thee be not darkness.
Take heede therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darkenesse.
36 If then thy whole body is enlightened, having no part dark, the whole will be as fully enlightened, as when a lamp with its bright shining giveth thee light.
If therefore thy whole body shall be light, hauing no part darke, then shall all be light, euen as when a candle doth light thee with the brightnesse.
37 And when he had done speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him. And he went in and reclined at the table.
And as hee spake, a certaine Pharise besought him to dine with him: and hee went in, and sate downe at table.
38 And the Pharisee, seeing it, wondered that he did not bathe before dinner.
And when the Pharise saw it, he marueiled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 But the Lord said to him, Now ye Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inside is full of rapacity and wickedness.
And the Lord saide to him, In deede yee Pharises make cleane the outside of the cuppe, and of the platter: but the inwarde part is full of rauening and wickednesse.
40 Fools, did not he who made the outside, make the inside also?
Ye fooles, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?
41 But give what they contain in alms, and lo! all is clean to you.
Therefore, giue almes of those thinges which you haue, and beholde, all thinges shall be cleane to you.
42 But woe to you Pharisees! for ye pay tithes of the mint, and the rue, and every herb; and pass by justice and the love of God. These ought ye to have done, and not to leave those undone.
But wo be to you, Pharises: for ye tithe the mynt and the rewe, and all maner herbs, and passe ouer iudgement and the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to haue left the other vndone.
43 Woe to you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in the markets.
Wo be to you, Pharises: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe to you, for ye are as tombs which are unseen, and men walking over them know it not.
Wo be to you, Scribes and Pharises, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walke ouer them, perceiue not.
45 And one of the lawyers answering saith to him, Teacher, in saying these things, thou revilest us also.
Then answered one of the Lawyers, and saide vnto him, Master, thus saying thou puttest vs to rebuke also.
46 And he said, To you lawyers also, woe! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
And he sayde, Wo be to you also, yee Lawyers: for yee lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and yee your selues touche not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe to you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
Wo be to you: for ye builde the sepulchres of the Prophetes, and your fathers killed them.
48 So then ye bear witness to and approve the deeds of your fathers; for they indeed killed them, and ye are building [[their tombs]].
Truely ye beare witnesse, and allowe the deedes of your fathers: for they killed them, and yee build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore the wisdom of God also said, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute;
Therefore said the wisedome of God, I wil sende them Prophets and Apostles, and of them they shall slaie, and persecute away,
50 that the blood of all the prophets, which hath been shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
That the blood of all the Prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
51 from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the temple. Yea, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.
From the blood of Abel vnto the blood of Zacharias, which was slaine betweene the altar and the Temple: verely I say vnto you, it shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe to you lawyers! because ye have taken away the key of knowledge; ye have not entered yourselves, and those who were entering ye have hindered.
Wo be to you, Lawyers: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in your selues, and them that came in, ye forbade.
53 And as he came out thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very spiteful, and to press him to speak off hand about many things,
And as he sayde these things vnto them, the Scribes and Pharises began to vrge him sore, and to prouoke him to speake of many things,
54 lying in wait to catch something out of his mouth.
Laying wait for him, and seeking to catche some thing of his mouth, whereby they might accuse him.
