Luke 11: 5
- 13
|
| 5 |
And he said to them, "Which of you who has a
friend will go to him at midnight and say to him, `Friend, lend me three loaves;
|
| 6 |
for a friend of mine has arrived on a
journey, and I have nothing to set before him'; |
| 7 |
and he will answer from within, `Do not
bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot
get up and give you anything'? |
| 8 |
I tell you, though he will not get up and
give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he
will rise and give him whatever he needs. |
| 9 |
And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given
you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
|
| 10 |
For every one who asks receives, and he who
seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. |
| 11 |
What father among you, if his son asks for a
fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; |
| 12 |
or if he asks for an egg, will give him a
scorpion? |
| 13 |
If you then, who are evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the
Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" |
