Luk 11:2 And He said to them, "When you pray, say: 'Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

Luk 11:3 'Give us each day our daily bread.

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 Then He said to them, "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 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';

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

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 persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

Luk 11:9 "So 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.

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 Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

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

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

Luk 11:14 And 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 But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the ruler of the demons."

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

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

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 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 But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

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

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 He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.

Luk 11:24 "When the unclean spirit goes out of 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 And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.

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 While 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 But He said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it."

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

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

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 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.

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 The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

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

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."

Luk 11:37 Now 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 When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal.

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

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

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

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 Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.

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

Luk 11:45 One of the lawyers said to Him in reply, "Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too."

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

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

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 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 persecute,

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

Luk 11:51 from 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 charged against this generation.'

Luk 11:52 Woe to you 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 When He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be very hostile and to question Him closely on many subjects,

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

--------

Mat 12:22 Then a demon-possessed man who was blind and mute was brought to Jesus, and He healed him, so that the mute man spoke and saw.

Mat 12:23 All the crowds were amazed, and were saying, "This man cannot be the Son of David, can he?"

Mat 12:24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, "This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of the demons."

Mat 12:25 And knowing their thoughts Jesus said to them, "Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.

Mat 12:26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then will his kingdom stand?

Mat 12:27 If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges.

Mat 12:28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.

Mat 12:29 Or how can anyone enter the strong man's house and carry off his property, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house.

Mat 12:30 He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.

Mat 12:31 "Therefore I say to you, any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven.

Mat 12:32 Whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

Mat 12:33 "Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for the tree is known by its fruit.

Mat 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

Mat 12:35 The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.

Mat 12:36 But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.

Mat 12:37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

Mat 12:38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees said to Him, "Teacher, we want to see a sign from You."

Mat 12:39 But He answered and said to them, "An evil and adulterous generation craves for a sign; and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet;

Mat 12:40 for just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Mat 12:41 The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment, and will condemn it because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.

Mat 12:42 The Queen of the South will rise up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

Mat 12:43 "Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it.

Mat 12:44 Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.

Mat 12:45 Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation."

Mat 12:46 While He was still speaking to the crowds, behold, His mother and brothers were standing outside, seeking to speak to Him.

Mat 12:47 Someone said to Him, "Behold, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside seeking to speak to You."

Mat 12:48 But Jesus answered the one who was telling Him and said, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?"

Mat 12:49 And stretching out His hand toward His disciples, He said, "Behold My mother and My brothers!

Mat 12:50 For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother."
