Luke 11:1-13

Etheridge(i) 1 AND it was that while he was praying in a certain place, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, Our Lord, teach us to pray as also Juchanon taught his disciples. 2 Jeshu said to them, When you pray, thus be saying, Our Father who (art) in the heavens, be sanctified thy name. Come thy kingdom. Be done thy will as in the heavens also upon earth. 3 Give to us the bread of our need every day, 4 and forgive us our sins, for we also forgive all who are indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil. 5 And he said to them, Who of you that has a friend, and shall go to him at midnight,[The dividing of the night.] and shall say to him, My friend, lend me three loaves, 6 because a friend has come to me from the way, and I have nothing to set to him? 7 and that friend from within shall answer and say unto him, Disturb me not, for the door is shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give to you. 8 I tell you if for friendship's sake he will not give him, (yet) because of importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth. 9 I say also to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. 10 For every one who asketh receiveth, and who seeketh findeth, and who knocketh hath it opened to him. 11 For what father (is there) among you who, if his son shall ask bread, will reach to him a stone? or should he ask a fish, how instead of a fish will he reach to him a serpent? 12 or if an egg he shall ask, will he a scorpion reach to him? 13 And if you, who are evil, know to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from the heavens give the Spirit of Holiness to those who ask him!
