Luke 11 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

Instruction about Prayer

(Mat 6:9–15 )

Luk 11:1

Luk 11:1It happened that while [fn]Jesus was praying in a certain place, after He had finished, one of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples.”

Luk 11:2

Luk 11:2And He said to them, “When you pray, say:
‘[fn]Father, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come.

Luk 11:3

Luk 11:3‘Give us each day our [fn]daily bread.

Luk 11:4

Luk 11:4‘And forgive us our sins,
For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.’”

Luk 11:5

Luk 11:5Then He said to them, “[fn]Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;

Luk 11:6

Luk 11:6for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;

Luk 11:7

Luk 11:7and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children [fn]and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’

Luk 11:8

Luk 11:8“I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his [fn]persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

Luk 11:9

Luk 11:9“So I say to you, [fn]ask, and it will be given to you; [fn]seek, and you will find; [fn]knock, and it will be opened to you.

Luk 11:10

Luk 11:10“For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.

Luk 11:11

Luk 11:11“Now [fn]suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a [fn]fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

Luk 11:12

Luk 11:12“Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?

Luk 11:13

Luk 11:13“If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your [fn]heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

Pharisees' Blasphemy

(Mat 12:22–30; Mar 3:22–27 )

Luk 11:14

Luk 11:14And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute; when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed.

Luk 11:15

Luk 11:15But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons.”

Luk 11:16

Luk 11:16Others, [fn]to test Him, were demanding of Him a [fn]sign from heaven.

Luk 11:17

Luk 11:17But He knew their thoughts and said to them, “[fn]Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against [fn]itself falls.

Luk 11:18

Luk 11:18“If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

Luk 11:19

Luk 11:19“And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.

Luk 11:20

Luk 11:20“But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Luk 11:21

Luk 11:21“When [fn]a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are [fn]undisturbed.

Luk 11:22

Luk 11:22“But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.

Luk 11:23

Luk 11:23“He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.

Luk 11:24

Luk 11:24“When the unclean spirit goes out of [fn]a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’

Luk 11:25

Luk 11:25“And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.

Luk 11:26

Luk 11:26“Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”

Luk 11:27

Luk 11:27While [fn]Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.”

Luk 11:28

Luk 11:28But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.”

The Sign of Jonah

(Mat 12:38–42 )

Luk 11:29

Luk 11:29As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, “This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a [fn]sign, and yet no [fn]sign will be given to it but the [fn]sign of Jonah.

Luk 11:30

Luk 11:30“For just as Jonah became a [fn]sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.

Luk 11:31

Luk 11:31“The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

Luk 11:32

Luk 11:32“The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
(Mat 6:22, 23 )

Luk 11:33

Luk 11:33“No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.

Luk 11:34

Luk 11:34“The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is [fn]clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is [fn]bad, your body also is full of darkness.

Luk 11:35

Luk 11:35“Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.

Luk 11:36

Luk 11:36“If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.”

Woes upon the Pharisees

Luk 11:37

Luk 11:37Now when He had spoken, a Pharisee *asked Him to have lunch with him; and He went in, and reclined at the table.

Luk 11:38

Luk 11:38When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first [fn]ceremonially washed before the [fn]meal.

Luk 11:39

Luk 11:39But the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but [fn]inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.

Luk 11:40

Luk 11:40“You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also?

Luk 11:41

Luk 11:41“But give that which is within as charity, and [fn]then all things are clean for you.

Luk 11:42

Luk 11:42“But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

Luk 11:43

Luk 11:43“Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.

Luk 11:44

Luk 11:44“Woe to you! For you are like [fn]concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it.”

Luk 11:45

Luk 11:45One of the [fn]lawyers *said to Him in reply, “Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too.”

Luk 11:46

Luk 11:46But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, [fn]while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

Luk 11:47

Luk 11:47“Woe to you! For you build the [fn]tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.

Luk 11:48

Luk 11:48“So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs.

Luk 11:49

Luk 11:49“For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will [fn]persecute,

Luk 11:50

Luk 11:50so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be [fn]charged against this generation,

Luk 11:51

Luk 11:51from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be [fn]charged against this generation.’

Luk 11:52

Luk 11:52“Woe to you [fn]lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”

Luk 11:53

Luk 11:53When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects,

Luk 11:54

Luk 11:54plotting against Him to catch [fn]Him in something He might say.
