Luke 11

Luke 11 - Versions
Luke 11 Text (WEB) It happened, that when he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples." He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on Earth, as it is in heaven. Give us day by day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,' and he from within will answer and say, 'Don't bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give it to you'? I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs. "I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened. "Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won't give him a snake instead of a fish, will he? Or if he asks for an egg, he won't give him a scorpion, will he? 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?" He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. It happened, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled. But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons." Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul. But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore will they be your judges. But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come to you. "When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe. But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoils. "He that is not with me is against me. He who doesn't gather with me scatters. The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest, and finding none, he says, 'I will turn back to my house from which I came out.' When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order. Then he goes, and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first." It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!" But he said, "On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it." When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, "This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah, the prophet. For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will also the Son of Man be to this generation. The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and will condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, one greater than Jonah is here. "No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn't darkness. If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light." Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in, and sat at the table. When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner. The Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness. You foolish ones, didn't he who made the outside make the inside also? But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you. But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and the love of God. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone. Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues, and the greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don't know it." One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you insult us also." He said, "Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won't even lift one finger to help carry those burdens. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute, that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.' Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn't enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered." As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him; lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.
Luke 11 Text (Hebrew) ויהי הוא מתפלל במקום אחד ויאמר אליו אחד מתלמידיו אחרי כלותו אדני למדנו להתפלל כאשר למד גם יוחנן את תלמידיו׃ ויאמר אליהם כי תתפללו אמרו אבינו שבשמים יתקדש שמך תבוא מלכותך יעשה רצונך כמו בשמים כן בארץ׃ את לחם חקנו תן לנו יום יום׃ וסלח לנו את חובתנו כי סלחים גם אנחנו לכל החיב לנו ואל תביאנו לידי נסיון כי אם הצילנו מן הרע׃ ויאמר אליהם מי בכם אשר יהיה לו אהב והלך ובא אליו בחצות הלילה ואמר אליו ידידי הלוני שלשת ככרות לחם׃ כי אהבי בא אלי מן הדרך ואין לי דבר לשום לפניו׃ והוא מלפנים יענה ויאמר אל תוגיעני כי כבר נסגרה הדלת וילדי שוכבים עמדי במטה לא אוכל לקום ולתת לך׃ אני אמר לכם גם כי לא יקום לתת לו על היותו אהבו יקום בעבור עזות פניו ויתן לו ככל צרכו׃ וגם אני אמר לכם שאלו וינתן לכם דרשו ותמצאו דפקו ויפתח לכם׃ כי כל השאל יקבל והדרש ימצא ולדפק יפתח׃ ומי בכם האב אשר ישאל ממנו בנו לחם ונתן לו אבן ואם דג היתן לו נחש תחת הדג׃ או כי ישאלנו ביצה היתן לו עקרב׃ הן אתם הרעים ידעים לתת מתנות טבות לבניכם אף כי האב מן השמים יתן את רוח הקדש לשאלים מאתו׃ ויהי היום ויגרש שד והוא אלם ויהי אחרי צאת השד וידבר האלם ויתמהו העם׃ ויש אשר אמרו בבעל זבוב שר השדים הוא מגרש את השדים׃ ויש אשר נסוהו וישאלו ממנו אות מן השמים׃ והוא ידע את מחשבותם ויאמר אליהם כל ממלכה הנחלקה על עצמה תחרב ובית יפל על בית׃ וגם השטן אם נחלק על עצמו איככה תכון ממלכתו כי אמרתם שבבעל זבוב מגרש אני את השדים׃ ואם אני מגרש את השדים בבעל זבוב בניכם במי הם מגרשים אתם על כן המה יהיו שפטיכם׃ ואם באצבע אלהים מגרש אני את השדים הנה הגיעה אליכם מלכות האלהים׃ בהיות הגבור שמר את חצרו והוא מזין והיה רכושו שלום׃ ואם יבוא עליו חזק ממנו ותקפו ישא ממנו את נשקו אשר בטח בו ואת מלקחו יחלק׃ כל אשר איננו אתי הוא לנגדי ואשר איננו מאסף אתי הוא מפזר׃ הרוח הטמאה אחרי צאתה מן האדם תשוטט במקמות ציה לבקש לה מנוחה ולא תמצא אז תאמר אשובה נא אל ביתי אשר יצאתי משם׃ ובבואה תמצא אתו מטאטא ומהדר׃ ואחר תלך ולקחה שבע רוחות אחרות רעות ממנה ובאו ושכנו שם והיתה אחרית האדם ההוא רעה מראשיתו׃ ויהי כדברו את הדברים האלה ואשה אחת מן העם נשאה את קולה ותאמר אליו אשרי הבטן אשר נשאתך והשדים אשר ינקת׃ והוא אמר ואף כי אשרי השמעים והשמרים את דבר האלהים׃ ויקבצו עם רב ויחל לדבר הדור הזה דור רע הוא אות הוא מבקש ואות לא ינתן לו בלתי אם אות יונה הנביא׃ כי כאשר היה יונה לאנשי נינוה לאות כן יהיה גם בן האדם לדור הזה׃ מלכת תימן תקום במשפט עם אנשי הדור הזה והרשיעה אותם כי באה מקצות הארץ לשמע את חכמת שלמה והנה יש פה גדול משלמה׃ אנשי נינוה יקומו במשפט עם הדור הזה והרשיעהו כי הם שבו בקריאת יונה והנה יש פה גדול מיונה׃ אין מדליק נר אשר ישימהו בסתר או תחת האיפה כי אם על המנורה למען יראו באי הבית את אורו׃ נר הגוף הוא העין לכן בהיות עינך תמימה גם כל גופך יאור ובהיותה רעה וחשך גם גופך׃ על כן השמר לך פן יחשך האור אשר בקרבך׃ והנה אם גופך כלו אור ואין בו כל דבר חשך אז יאור כלו והיה כהאיר לך הנר בברק נגהו׃ ויהי בדברו ויבקש ממנו פרוש אחד לאכל אתו לחם ויבא הביתה ויסב׃ ויתמה הפרוש בראתו אשר לא נטל ידיו בראשונה לפני הסעודה׃ ויאמר אליו האדון כעת אתם הפרושים מטהרים את הכום והקערה מחוץ והפנימי אשר בכם הוא מלא גזל ורשע׃ הכסילים הלא עשה החיצון גם עשה את הפנימי׃ אבל תנו לצדקה את אשר בם והנה הכל טהור לכם׃ אך אוי לכם הפרושים כי תעשרו את המנתא ואת הפיגם ואת כל הירק ותעברו את המשפט ואת אהבת אלהים והיה לכם לעשות את אלה ולא להניח גם את אלה׃ אוי לכם הפרושים כי תאהבו את מושב הראש בבתי הכנסיות ואת שאלות שלומכם בשוקים׃ אוי לכם הסופרים והפרושים החנפים כי אתם כקברים הנסתרים ובני האדם מתהלכים עליהם ולא ידעו׃ ויען אחד מבעלי התורה ויאמר אליו רבי בדבריך אלה תחרף גם אתנו׃ ויאמר אוי גם לכם בעלי התורה כי עמסים אתם על בני האדם משאות כבדים מסבל ואתם בעצמכם אינכם נגעים במשאות גם באחת מאצבעותיכם׃ אוי לכם כי בונים אתם את קברות הנביאים ואבותיכם הרגו אותם׃ וכן אתם מעידים ורוצים במעשי אבותיכם כי המה הרגו אותם ואתם בונים את קבריהם׃ בעבור זאת גם אמרה חכמת האלהים אשלח אליהם נביאים ושליחים ומהם יהרגו וירדפו׃ למען ידרש מן הדור הזה דם כל הנביאים אשר נשפך למן הוסד הארץ׃ מדם הבל עד דם זכריהו אשר נהרג בין המזבח ולבית הן אמר אני לכם דרוש ידרש מן הדור הזה׃ אוי לכם בעלי התורה כי הסירתם את מפתח הדעת אתם לא באתם ואת הבאים מנעתם׃ ויהי כדברו להם את אלה ויחלו הסופרים והפרושים לשטם אותו מאד ולהקשות לו בדברים רבים׃ ויארבו לו ויבקשו לצודד דבר מפיהו למען ימצאו עליו שטנה׃

Luke 11 Text (Latin) Et factum est : cum esset in quodam loco orans, ut cessavit, dixit unus ex discipulis ejus ad eum : Domine, doce nos orare, sicut docuit et Joannes discipulos suos. Et ait illis : Cum oratis, dicite : Pater, sanctificetur nomen tuum. Adveniat regnum tuum. Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie. Et dimitte nobis peccata nostra, siquidem et ipsi dimittimus omni debenti nobis. Et ne nos inducas in tentationem. Et ait ad illos : Quis vestrum habebit amicum, et ibit ad illum media nocte, et dicet illi : Amice, commoda mihi tres panes, quoniam amicus meus venit de via ad me, et non habeo quod ponam ante illum, et ille de intus respondens dicat : Noli mihi molestus esse, jam ostrium clausum est, et pueri mei mecum sunt in cubili : non possum surgere, et dare tibi. Et si ille perseveraverit pulsans : dico vobis, etsi non dabit illi surgens eo quod amicus ejus sit, propter improbitatem tamen ejus surget, et dabit illi quotquot habet necessarios. Et ego dico vobis : Petite, et dabitur vobis ; quærite, et invenietis ; pulsate, et aperietur vobis. Omnis enim qui petit, accipit : et qui quærit, invenit : et pulsanti aperietur. Quis autem ex vobis patrem petit panem, numquid lapidem dabit illi ? aut piscem, numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi ? aut si petierit ovum, numquid porriget illi scorpionem ? Si ergo vos, cum sitis mali, nostis bona data dare filiis vestris : quanto magis Pater vester de cælo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se ? Et erat ejiciens dæmonium, et illud erat mutum. Et cum ejecisset dæmonium, locutus est mutus, et admiratæ sunt turbæ. Quidam autem ex eis dixerunt : In Beelzebub principe dæmoniorum ejicit dæmonia. Et alii tentantes, signum de cælo quærebant ab eo. Ipse autem ut vidit cogitationes eorum, dixit eis : Omne regnum in seipsum divisum desolabitur, et domus supra domum cadet. Si autem et Satanas in seipsum divisus est, quomodo stabit regnum ejus ? quia dicitis in Beelzebub me ejicere dæmonia. Si autem ego in Beelzebub ejicio dæmonia : filii vestri in quo ejiciunt ? ideo ipsi judices vestri erunt. Porro si in digito Dei ejicio dæmonia : profecto pervenit in vos regnum Dei. Cum fortis armatus custodit atrium suum, in pace sunt ea quæ possidet. Si autem fortior eo superveniens vicerit eum, universa arma ejus auferet, in quibus confidebat, et spolia ejus distribuet. Qui non est mecum, contra me est : et qui non colligit mecum, dispergit. Cum immundus spiritus exierit de homine, ambulat per loca inaquosa, quærens requiem : et non inveniens dicit : Revertar in domum meam unde exivi. Et cum venerit, invenit eam scopis mundatam, et ornatam. Tunc vadit, et assumit septem alios spiritus secum, nequiores se, et ingressi habitant ibi. Et fiunt novissima hominis illius pejora prioribus. Factum est autem, cum hæc diceret : extollens vocem quædam mulier de turba dixit illi : Beatus venter qui te portavit, et ubera quæ suxisti. At ille dixit : Quinimmo beati, qui audiunt verbum Dei et custodiunt illud. Turbis autem concurrentibus cœpit dicere : Generatio hæc, generatio nequam est : signum quærit, et signum non dabitur ei, nisi signum Jonæ prophetæ. Nam sicut fuit Jonas signum Ninivitis, ita erit et Filius hominis generationi isti. Regina austri surget in judicio cum viris generationis hujus, et condemnabit illos : quia venit a finibus terræ audire sapientiam Salomonis : et ecce plus quam Salomon hic. Viri Ninivitæ surgent in judicio cum generatione hac, et condemnabunt illam : quia pœnitentiam egerunt ad prædicationem Jonæ, et ecce plus quam Jonas hic. Nemo lucernam accendit, et in abscondito ponit, neque sub modio : sed supra candelabrum, ut qui ingrediuntur, lumen videant. Lucerna corporis tui est oculus tuus. Si oculus tuus fuerit simplex, totum corpus tuum lucidum erit : si autem nequam fuerit, etiam corpus tuum tenebrosum erit. Vide ergo ne lumen quod in te est, tenebræ sint. Si ergo corpus tuum totum lucidum fuerit, non habens aliquam partem tenebrarum, erit lucidum totum, et sicut lucerna fulgoris illuminabit te. Et cum loqueretur, rogavit illum quidam pharisæus ut pranderet apud se. Et ingressus recubuit. Pharisæus autem cœpit intra se reputans dicere, quare non baptizatus esset ante prandium. Et ait Dominus ad illum : Nunc vos pharisæi, quod deforis est calicis et catini, mundatis : quod autem intus est vestrum, plenum est rapina et iniquitate. Stulti nonne qui fecit quod deforis est, etiam id quod deintus est fecit ? Verumtamen quod superest, date eleemosynam : et ecce omnia munda sunt vobis. Sed væ vobis, pharisæis, quia decimatis mentham, et rutam, et omne olus, et præteritis judicium et caritatem Dei : hæc autem oportuit facere, et illa non omittere. Væ vobis, pharisæis, quia diligitis primas cathedras in synagogis, et salutationes in foro. Væ vobis, quia estis ut monumenta, quæ non apparent, et homines ambulantes supra, nesciunt. Respondens autem quidam ex legisperitis, ait illi : Magister, hæc dicens etiam contumeliam nobis facis. At ille ait : Et vobis legisperitis væ : quia oneratis homines oneribus, quæ portare non possunt, et ipsi uno digito vestro non tangitis sarcinas. Væ vobis, qui ædificatis monumenta prophetarum : patres autem vestri occiderunt illos. Profecto testificamini quod consentitis operibus patrum vestrorum : quoniam ipsi quidem eos occiderunt, vos autem ædificatis eorum sepulchra. Propterea et sapientia Dei dixit : Mittam ad illos prophetas, et apostolos, et ex illis occident, et persequentur : ut inquiratur sanguis omnium prophetarum, qui effusus est a constitutione mundi a generatione ista, a sanguine Abel, usque ad sanguinem Zachariæ, qui periit inter altare et ædem. Ita dico vobis, requiretur ab hac generatione. Væ vobis, legisperitis, quia tulistis clavem scientiæ : ipsi non introistis, et eos qui introibant, prohibuistis. Cum autem hæc ad illos diceret, cœperunt pharisæi et legisperiti graviter insistere, et os ejus opprimere de multis, insidiantes ei, et quærentes aliquid capere de ore ejus, ut accusarent eum.
Luke 11 Text (KJV) And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall 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. I say unto you, Though 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. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth. When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet. For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light. The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when thine eye is evil, thy body also is full of darkness. Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light. And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner. And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness. Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also? But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you. But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them. Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also. And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them. Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation; From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation. Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things: Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
