  Luke Chapter 11, it happened that while Jesus was praying in
• 0:04
  a certain place, after he had finished, one of his disciples
• 0:07
  said to him, Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught
• 0:11
  his disciples. And he said to them, When you
• 0:14
  pray, say, Father hallowed, be your name, your Kingdom come
• 0:20
  give us each day Our Daily Bread, and forgive us our sins,
• 0:24
  for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us,
• 0:28
  and lead us not into temptation. Then he said to them, Suppose
• 0:32
  one of you has a friend and goes to him at midnight and says to
• 0:35
  him, Friend, lend ME3 loaves. For a friend of mine has come to
• 0:39
  me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.
• 0:42
  And from inside he answers and says, Do not bother me, The door
• 0:45
  has already been shut, and my children and I are in bed.
• 0:48
  I cannot get up and give you anything.
• 0:50
  I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him
• 0:53
  anything, because he is his friend, yet because of his
• 0:56
  persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
• 0:59
  So I say to you, ask and it will be given to you, seek and you
• 1:03
  will find knock, and it will be open to you, for everyone who
• 1:08
  asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it
• 1:12
  will be opened. Now suppose one of the one of
• 1:15
  you fathers is asked by his son for a fish.
• 1:17
  He will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
• 1:20
  Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion,
• 1:23
  will he? If you then, being evil know how
• 1:26
  to give good gifts to your children, how much more will
• 1:29
  your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask
• 1:32
  him? And he was casting out a demon,
• 1:35
  and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the
• 1:38
  mute man spoke, and the crowds were amazed.
• 1:40
  But some of them said He cast out demons by Beelzebel, the
• 1:44
  ruler of the demons. Others to test him were
• 1:46
  demanding of him a sign from heaven.
• 1:49
  But he knew their thoughts, and said to them, Any Kingdom
• 1:52
  divided against itself is laid waste, and a house divided
• 1:55
  against itself falls. If Satan also is divided against
• 1:59
  himself, how will his Kingdom stand?
• 2:02
  For you say that I cast out demons by beelisable.
• 2:05
  And if I by beelisable cast out demons, by whom do your sons
• 2:08
  cast them out? So they will be your judges.
• 2:11
  But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom
• 2:15
  of God has come upon you. When a strong man, fully armed,
• 2:18
  guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed, but
• 2:22
  when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him,
• 2:25
  he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied,
• 2:28
  and distributes his plunder. He who is not with me is against
• 2:32
  me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
• 2:36
  When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through
• 2:40
  waterless places, seeking rest and not finding any.
• 2:43
  It says, I will return to my house from which I came, and
• 2:46
  when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.
• 2:49
  Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil
• 2:51
  than itself, and they go in and live there, And the last state
• 2:55
  of that man becomes worse than the first.
• 2:57
  While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the
• 2:59
  crowd raised her voice and said to him, Blessed is the womb that
• 3:03
  bore you, and the breast at which you nursed.
• 3:05
  But he said, On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the
• 3:08
  word of God and observe it. As the crowds were increasing,
• 3:12
  he began to say, This generation is a wicked generation.
• 3:16
  It seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the
• 3:18
  sign of Jonah. For just as Jonah became a sign
• 3:21
  to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this
• 3:24
  generation. The queen of the South will rise
• 3:27
  up with the men of this generation at the judgment and
• 3:29
  condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to
• 3:32
  hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, something greater
• 3:35
  than Solomon is here. The men of Nineveh will stand up
• 3:38
  with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because
• 3:41
  they repented at the preaching of Jonah.
• 3:43
  And behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
• 3:46
  No one after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar, nor
• 3:49
  under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who
• 3:52
  enter may see the light. The eye is the lamp of your
• 3:55
  body. When your eye is clear, your
• 3:57
  whole body also is full of light, but when it is bad, your
• 4:00
  body also is full of darkness. Then watch out that the light in
• 4:04
  you is not darkness. If, therefore, your whole body
• 4:07
  is full of light with no dark part in it, it will be wholly
• 4:10
  illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.
• 4:15
  Now when he had spoken, a Pharisee asked him to have lunch
• 4:17
  with him, and he went in and reclined at the table.
• 4:20
  When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that he had not first
• 4:22
  ceremonially washed before the meal.
• 4:25
  But the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees, clean the outside
• 4:28
  of the cup and of the platter, but inside of you, you are full
• 4:31
  of robbery and wickedness. You foolish ones, did not he who
• 4:35
  made the outside make the inside also, but give that which is
• 4:38
  within as charity, and then all things are cleaned for you.
• 4:41
  But woe to you Pharisees, for you pay tithe of mint and Roux
• 4:45
  in every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and
• 4:49
  the love of God. But these are the things you
• 4:51
  should have done without neglecting the others.
• 4:53
  Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the chief seats in the
• 4:56
  synagogues and the respectful greetings in the marketplaces.
• 5:00
  Woe to you, for you are like concealed tombs, and the people
• 5:03
  who walk over them are unaware of it.
• 5:06
  One of the lawyers said to him in reply, Teacher, when you say
• 5:09
  this, you insult us too. But he said woe to you lawyers
• 5:12
  as well, for you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while
• 5:16
  you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of
• 5:19
  your fingers. Woe to you, for you build the
• 5:21
  tombs of the prophets, and it was your father's who killed
• 5:24
  them. So you are witnesses and
• 5:26
  approved the deeds of your father's, because it was they
• 5:29
  who killed them, and you build their tombs.
• 5:31
  For this reason also the wisdom of God said, I will send to them
• 5:35
  prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and some
• 5:38
  they will persecute, so that the blood of all the prophets shed
• 5:42
  since the foundation of the world may be charged against
• 5:44
  this generation. From the blood of Abel to the
• 5:47
  blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the
• 5:50
  House of God. Yes, I tell you, it shall be
• 5:53
  charged against this generation. Woe to you lawyers, for you have
• 5:57
  taken away the key of knowledge. You yourselves did not enter,
• 6:01
  and you hindered those who were entering.
• 6:03
  When he left there, the Scribes and the Pharisees began to be
• 6:06
  very hostile and to question him closely on many subjects,
• 6:09
  plotting against him to catch him in something he might say.
