Luke Chapter 11

Christ teaches his disciples to pray. He casts out a dumb devil,
confutes the Pharisees, and pronounces woes against them for their
hypocrisy.

11:1. And it came to pass that as he was in a certain place praying,
when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to
pray, as John also taught his disciples.

11:2. And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy
name. Thy kingdom come.

11:3. Give us this day our daily bread.

11:4. And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive every one that is
indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.

11:5. And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend and shall go
to him at midnight and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves,

11:6. Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me and I have
not what to set before him.

11:7. And he from within should answer and say: Trouble me not; the door
is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot rise and give
thee.

11:8. Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although 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.

11:9. And I say to you: Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you
shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

11:10. For every one that asketh receiveth: and he that seeketh findeth:
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened:

11:11. And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a
stone? Or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

11:12. Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion?

11:13. If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good
Spirit to them that ask him?

11:14. And he was casting out a devil: and the same was dumb. And when
he had cast out the devil, the dumb spoke: and the multitudes, were in
admiration at it.

11:15. But some of them said: He casteth out devils by Beelzebub, the
prince of devils.

11:16. And others tempting, asked of him a sign from heaven.

11:17. But he seeing their thoughts, said to them: Every kingdom divided
against itself shall be brought to desolation; and house upon house
shall fall.

11:18. And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his
kingdom stand? Because you say that through Beelzebub I cast
