Luke 11
1 And it fortuned as he was prayinge in a certayne place: when he ceased one of his disciples sayde vnto him: Master teache vs to praye as Iohn taught his disciples.
And it came to pass, in His being in a certain place praying, as He ceased, a certain one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as also John taught his disciples.”
2 And he sayd vnto the: When ye praye saye: O oure father which arte in heave halowed be thy name. Thy kyngdome come. Thy will be fulfilled even in erth as it is in heaven.
And He said to them, “When you may pray, say: Our Father who is in the heavens, hallowed be Your Name; Your kingdom come, Your will come to pass, as in Heaven also on earth;
3 Oure dayly breed geve vs evermore.
be giving us daily our appointed bread;
4 And forgeve vs oure synnes: For eve we forgeve every man yt treaspaseth vs. And ledde vs not into teptacio. But deliver vs fro evill.
and forgive us our sins, for we also ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us; and may You not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil [one].”
5 And he sayde vnto them: if any of you shuld have a frede and shuld goo to him at mid nyght and saye vnto him: frende lende me thre loves
And He said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go on to him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 for a frende of myne is come out of the waye to me and I have nothinge to set before him:
seeing a friend of mine came out of the way to me, and I have not what I will set before him,
7 and he within shuld answere and saye trouble me not the dore is now sheet and my servautes are with me in the chamber I canot ryse and geve them to the.
and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, the door has already been shut, and my children are with me in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to you.
8 I saye vnto you though he wold not aryse and geve him because he is his frede: yet because of his importunite he wold rise and geve him as many as he neded.
I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his persistence, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs;
9 And I saye vnto you: axe and it shalbe geven you. Seke and ye shall fynde. knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you.
and I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;
10 For every one that axeth receaveth: and he that seketh fyndeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be openned.
for everyone who is asking receives; and he who is seeking finds; and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
11 Yf the sonne shall axe breed of eny of you that is a father: wyll he geve him a stone? Or yf he axe fisshe wyll he for a fysshe geve him a serpent?
And of which of you—the father—[if] the son will ask [for] a loaf, will present to him a stone? And [if] a fish, instead of a fish, will present to him a serpent?
12 Or yf he axe an egge: wyll he offer him a scorpion?
And [if] he may ask [for] an egg, will present to him a scorpion?
13 Yf ye then which are evyll canne geve good giftes vnto youre chyldren how moche more shall the father of heaven geve an holy sprete to them that desyre it of him?
If, then, you, being evil, have known to be giving good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”
14 And he was a castynge out a devyll which was dome. And it folowed when the devyll was gone out the domme spake and the people wondred.
And He was casting forth a demon, and it was mute, and it came to pass, the demon having gone forth, the mute man spoke, and the multitudes wondered,
15 But some of the sayde: he casteth out devyls by the power of Belzebub the chefe of the devyls.
and certain of them said, “By Beelzebul, ruler of the demons, He casts forth the demons”;
16 And other tempted him sekinge of him a signe fro heave.
and others, tempting, were asking [for] a sign out of Heaven from Him.
17 But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde vnto them: Every kingdome devided with in it silfe shalbe desolate: and one housse shall fall vpon another.
And He, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom having been divided against itself is desolated; and house against house falls;
18 So if Satan be devided with in him silfe: how shall his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye that I cast out devyls by the power of Belzebub.
and if Satan was also divided against himself, how will his kingdom be made to stand? For you say by Beelzebul is My casting forth the demons,
19 Yf I by the power of Belzebub caste oute devyls: by whome do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges.
but if I, by Beelzebul, cast forth the demons—your sons, by whom do they cast forth? Because of this they will be your judges;
20 But if I with ye finger of God cast out devyls noo doute the kyngdome of God is come vpon you.
but if by the finger of God I cast forth the demons, then the Kingdom of God came unaware on you.
21 When a stronge man armed watcheth his housse: yt he possesseth is in peace.
When the strong man may keep his hall armed, his goods are in peace;
22 But when a stronger then he cometh vpo him and overcometh him: he taketh from him his harnes wherin he trusted and devideth his gooddes.
but when the stronger than he, having come on [him], may overcome him, he takes away his whole armor in which he had trusted, and he distributes his spoils;
23 He that is not with me is agaynst me. And he that gadereth not with me scattereth.
he who is not with Me is against Me, and he who is not gathering with Me scatters.
24 When the vnclene sprete is gone out of a man he walketh through waterlesse places sekinge reest. And when he fyndeth none he sayeth: I will returne agayne vnto my housse whence I came out.
When the unclean spirit may go forth from the man, it walks through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding, it says, I will return to my house from where I came forth;
25 And when he cometh he fyndeth it swept and garnissed.
and having come, it finds [it] swept and adorned;
26 Then goeth he and taketh to him seve other spretes worsse then himsilfe: and they enter in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the begynninge.
then it goes, and takes to it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and having entered, they dwell there, and the last of that man becomes worse than the first.”
27 And it fortuned as he spake those thinges a certayne woman of the copany lyfte vp her voyce and sayde vnto him: Happy is the wombe that bare the and the pappes which gave the sucke.
And it came to pass, in His saying these things, a certain woman having lifted up the voice out of the multitude, said to Him, “Blessed the womb that carried You, and the breasts that You sucked!”
28 But he sayde: Ye happy are they that heare the worde of God and kepe it.
And He said, “Indeed, rather, blessed those hearing the word of God, and keeping [it]!”
29 When the people were gadered thicke to geder: he began to saye. This is an evyll nacion: they seke a signe and ther shall no signe be geven them but the signe of Ionas the Prophet.
And the multitudes crowding together on Him, He began to say, “This generation is evil, it seeks after a sign, and a sign will not be given to it, except the sign of Jonah the prophet,
30 For as Ionas was a signe to the Ninivites so shall ye sonne of ma be to this nacio.
for as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 The quene of the southe shall ryse at iudgement with the men of this generacio and condempne them: for she came fro the ende of the worlde to heare the wysdome of Salomon. And beholde a greater then Salomon is here.
A queen of the south will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, [One] greater than Solomon [is] here!
32 The men of Ninive shall ryse at the iudgement wt this generacio and shall condepne the: for they repented at the preachinge of Ionas. And beholde a greater then Ionas is here.
Men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, because they converted at the proclamation of Jonah; and behold, [One] greater than Jonah [is] here!
33 Noo man lighteth a candell and putteth it in a previe place nether vnder a busshell: But on a candelsticke that they that come in maye se ye light.
And no one having lighted a lamp, puts [it] in a secret place, nor under the measure, but on the lampstand, that those coming in may behold the light.
34 The light of thy body is the eye. Therfore when thine eye is single: then is all thy body full of light. But if thine eye be evyll: then shall thy body also be full of darknes.
The lamp of the body is the eye, when then your eye may be simple, your whole body is also lightened; and when it may be evil, your body is also darkened;
35 Take hede therfore that the light which is in the be not darknes.
take heed, then, lest the light that [is] in you is darkness;
36 For if all thy body shalbe light havynge noo parte darke: then shall all be full of light even as when a candell doeth light the with his brightnes.
if then your whole body is lightened, not having any part darkened, the whole will be lightened, as when the lamp by the brightness may give you light.”
37 And as he spake a certayne Pharise besought him to dyne with him: and he went in and sate doune to meate.
And in [His] speaking, a certain Pharisee was asking Him that He might dine with him, and having gone in, He reclined,
38 When the Pharise sawe that he marveylled yt he had not fyrst wesshed before dyner.
and the Pharisee having seen, wondered that He did not first immerse Himself before the early meal.
39 And ye Lorde sayde to him: Now do ye Pharises make clene the out side of the cup and of the platter: but youre inwarde parties are full of raveninge and wickednes.
And the LORD said to him, “Now you, the Pharisees, make the outside of the cup and of the plate clean, but your inward part is full of robbery and wickedness.
40 Ye foles dyd not he that made that which is without: make that which is within also?
Unthinking [ones]! Did He who made the outside not also make the inside?
41 Neverthelesse geve almose of that ye have and beholde all is clene to you.
But what you have given [as] alms, and behold, all things are clean to you.
42 But wo be to you Pharises for ye tithe the mynt and rewe and all manner erbes and passe over iudgment and the love of God. These ought ye to have done and yet not to have left the other vndone.
But woe to you, the Pharisees, because you tithe the mint, and the rue, and every herb, and you pass by the judgment and the love of God; these things [you] should do, and those not to be neglecting.
43 Wo be to you Pharises: for ye love the vppermost seates in the synagoges and gretinges in the markets.
Woe to you, the Pharisees, because you love the first seats in the synagogues and the salutations in the marketplaces.
44 Wo be to you scribes and pharises ypocrites for ye are as graves which appere not and the men yt walke over the are not ware of the.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you are as the unseen tombs, and the men walking above have not known.”
45 Then answered one of the lawears and sayd vnto him: Master thus sayinge thou puttest vs to rebuke also.
And one of the lawyers answering, says to Him, “Teacher, saying these things, You also insult us”;
46 Then he sayde: Wo be to you also ye lawears: for ye lade men with burthens greveous to be borne and ye youre selves touche not ye packes wt one of youre fyngers.
and He said, “And to you, the lawyers, woe! Because you burden men with burdens [too] grievous to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Wo be to you: ye bylde the sepulchres of the Prophetes and youre fathers killed the:
Woe to you, because you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 truly ye beare witnes that ye alowe the dedes of youre fathers for they kylled them and ye bylde their sepulchres.
Then you testify, and are well pleased with the works of your fathers, because they indeed killed them, and you build their tombs;
49 Therfore sayde ye wisdome of God: I will send them Prophetes and Apostles and of them they shall slee and persecute:
because of this also the wisdom of God said: I will send to them prophets, and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,
50 that the bloude of all Prophetes which was sheed fro the beginninge of the worlde maye be requyred of this generacion
that the blood of all the prophets, that is being poured forth from the foundation of the world, may be required from this generation—
51 from the bloud of Abell vnto the bloud of zachary which perisshed bitwene the aulter and the temple. Verely I saye vnto you: it shalbe requyred of this nacion.
from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zacharias, who perished between the altar and the house; yes, I say to you, it will be required from this generation.
52 Wo be to you lawears: for ye have taken awaye ye keye of knowledge ye entred not in youre selves and them that came in ye forbade.
Woe to you, the lawyers, because you took away the key of the knowledge; you yourselves did not enter; and you hindered those coming in.”
53 When he thus spake vnto them the lawears and the Pharises began to wexe busye about him and to stop his mouth with many questions
And in His speaking these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began fearfully to urge and to press Him to speak about many things,
54 layinge wayte for him and sekinge to catche somethinge of his mought wherby they might accuse him.
laying wait for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him.
