11THEN HE was praying in a certain place; and when He stopped, one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray, [just] as John taught his disciples.G2532G1096G1722G846G1511G4336G1722G5100G5117G5613G3973G5100G846G3101G2036G4314G846G2962G1321G2248G4336G2531G2491G2532G1321G846G3101 2And He said to them, When you pray, say: {Our} Father {Who is in heaven,} hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come. {Your will be done [held holy and revered] on earth as it is in heaven.}G1161G2036G846G3752G4336G3004G2257G3962G3588G1722G3772G37G4675G3686G4675G932G2064G4675G2307G1096G5613G1722G3772G2532G1909G1093 3Give us daily our bread [food for the morrow].G1325G2254G2596G2250G2257G1967G740 4And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us [who has offended us or done us wrong]. And bring us not into temptation {but rescue us from evil.}G2532G863G2254G2257G266G1063G846G2532G863G3956G3784G2254G2532G1533G2248G3361G1519G3986G235G4506G2248G575G4190 5And He said to them, Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and will say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves [of bread],G2532G2036G4314G846G5101G1537G5216G2192G5384G2532G4198G4314G846G3317G2532G2036G846G5384G5531G3427G5140G740 6For a friend of mine who is on a journey has just come, and I have nothing to put before him;G1894G5384G3450G1537G3598G3854G4314G3165G2532G2192G3756G3739G3908G846 7And he from within will answer, Do not disturb me; the door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and supply you [with anything]?G2548G2081G611G2036G2873G3930G3427G3361G2374G2808G2235G2808G2532G3450G3813G1526G3326G1700G1519G2845G3756G1410G450G1325G4671 8I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his shameless persistence {and} insistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.G3004G5213G1499G1453G3756G1453G1325G846G1223G1511G846G5384G1065G1223G846G335G450G1325G846G3745G5535 9So I say to you, Ask {and} keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek {and} keep on seeking and you shall find; knock {and} keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you.G2504G3004G5213G154G2532G1325G5213G2212G2532G2147G2925G2532G455G5213 10For everyone who asks {and} keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks {and} keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks {and} keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.G1063G3956G154G2983G2532G2212G2147G2532G2925G455 11What father among you, if his son asks for {a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he asks for} a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?G1161G5207G154G740G5216G3962G5101G1929G3361G846G3037G1499G2486G1929G473G2486G1929G3361G846G3789 12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?G2228G2532G1437G154G5609G3361G1929G846G4651 13If you then, evil as you are, know how to give good gifts [gifts that are to their advantage] to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask {and} continue to ask Him!G1487G5210G3767G5225G4190G1492G1325G18G1390G5216G5043G4214G3123G1325G3772G3962G1537G1325G40G4151G154G846 14Now Jesus was driving out a demon that was dumb; and it occurred that when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke. And the crowds marveled.G2532G2258G1544G1140G2532G846G2258G2974G1161G1096G1140G1831G2974G2980G2532G3793G2296 15But some of them said, He drives out demons [because He is in league with and] by Beelzebub, the prince of demons,G1161G5100G1537G846G2036G1544G1140G1722G954G758G1140 16While others, to try {and} test {and} tempt Him, demanded a sign of Him from heaven.G1161G2087G3985G2212G3844G846G4592G1537G3772 17But He, [well] aware of their intent {and} purpose, said to them, Every kingdom split up against itself is doomed {and} brought to desolation, and so house falls upon house. [The disunited household will collapse.]G1161G846G1492G846G1270G2036G846G3956G932G1266G1909G1438G2049G2532G3624G1909G3624G4098 18And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom last? For you say that I expel demons with the help of {and} by Beelzebub.G1161G1499G4567G1499G1266G1909G1438G4459G2476G846G932G2476G3754G3004G3165G1544G1140G1722G954 19Now if I expel demons with the help of {and} by Beelzebub, with whose help {and} by whom do your sons drive them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.G1161G1487G1473G1722G954G1544G1140G1722G5101G1544G5216G5207G1544G1223G5124G846G2071G5216G2923 20But if I drive out the demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has [already] come upon you.G1161G1487G1722G1147G2316G1544G1140G686G932G2316G5348G1909G5209 21When the strong man, fully armed, [from his courtyard] guards his own dwelling, his belongings are undisturbed [his property is at peace and is secure].G3752G2478G2528G5442G833G1438G846G5224G2076G1722G1515 22But when one stronger than he attacks him and conquers him, he robs him of his whole armor on which he had relied and divides up {and} distributes all his goods as plunder (spoil).G1161G1875G2478G846G1904G3528G846G142G846G3833G1909G3739G3982G2532G1239G846G4661 23He who is not with Me [siding and believing with Me] is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me [engage in My interest], scatters.G5607G3361G3326G1700G2076G2596G1700G2532G4863G3361G3326G1700G4650 24When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it roams through waterless places in search [of a place] of rest (release, refreshment, ease); and finding none it says, I will go back to my house from which I came.G3752G169G4151G1831G575G444G1330G1223G504G5117G2212G372G2532G2147G3361G3004G5290G1519G3450G3624G3606G1831 25And when it arrives, it finds [the place] swept {and} put in order and furnished {and} decorated.G2532G2064G2147G4563G2532G2885 26And it goes and brings other spirits, seven [of them], more evil than itself, and they enter in, settle down, {and} dwell there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first.G5119G4198G2532G3880G2033G2087G4151G4191G1438G2532G1525G2730G1563G2532G2078G1565G444G1096G5501G4413 27Now it occurred that as He was saying these things, a certain woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, Blessed (happy and to be envied) is the womb that bore You and the breasts that You sucked!G1161G1096G1722G846G3004G5023G5100G1135G1537G3793G1869G5456G2036G846G3107G2836G941G4571G2532G3149G3739G2337 28But He said, Blessed (happy and to be envied) rather are those who hear the Word of God and obey {and} practice it!G1161G846G2036G3304G3107G191G3056G2316G2532G5442G846 29Now as the crowds were [increasingly] thronging Him, He began to say, This present generation is a wicked one; it seeks {and} demands a sign (miracle), but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah [the prophet].G1161G3793G1865G756G3004G3778G2076G4190G1074G1934G4592G2532G1325G3756G4592G1325G846G1508G4592G2495G4396 30For [just] as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will also the Son of Man be [a sign] to this age {and} generation.G1063G2531G2495G1096G4592G3536G3779G2071G2532G5207G444G2071G5026G1074 31The queen of the South will arise in the judgment with the people of this age {and} generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the [inhabited] earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and notice, here is more than Solomon. [I Kings 10:1-13; II Chron. 9:1-12.]G938G3558G1453G1722G2920G3326G435G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G2064G1537G4009G1093G191G4678G4672G2532G2400G4119G4672G5602 32The men of Nineveh will appear as witnesses at the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, here is more than Jonah.G435G3535G450G1722G2920G3326G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G3340G1519G2782G2495G2532G2400G4119G2495G5602 33No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar {or} crypt or under a bushel measure, but on a lampstand, that those who are coming in may see the light.G1161G3762G681G3088G5087G1519G2926G3761G5259G3426G235G1909G3087G2443G3588G1531G991G5338 34Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye (your conscience) is sound {and} fulfilling its office, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound {and} is not fulfilling its office, your body is full of darkness.G3088G4983G2076G3788G3767G1875G4675G3788G5600G573G4675G3650G4983G2532G2076G5460G1161G3752G5600G4190G4675G4983G2532G4652 35Be careful, therefore, that the light that is in you is not darkness.G4648G3767G5457G3588G1722G4671G2076G3361G4655 36If then your entire body is illuminated, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright [with light], as when a lamp with its bright rays gives you light.G1487G4675G3650G4983G3767G5460G2192G3361G5100G3313G4652G3650G2071G5460G5613G3752G796G3088G5461G4571G5461 37Now while Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee invited Him to take dinner with him, so He entered and reclined at table.G1161G1722G2980G5100G5330G2065G846G3704G709G3844G846G1161G1525G377 38The Pharisee noticed and was astonished [to see] that Jesus did not first wash before dinner.G1161G5330G1492G2296G3754G907G3756G4412G907G4253G712 39But the Lord said to him, Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are full of greed {and} robbery {and} extortion and malice {and} wickedness.G1161G2962G2036G4314G846G3568G2511G5210G5330G2511G1855G4221G2532G4094G1161G5216G2081G1073G724G2532G4189 40You senseless (foolish, stupid) ones [acting without reflection or intelligence]! Did not He Who made the outside make the inside also?G878G4160G3756G4160G3588G1855G4160G3588G2081G2532 41But [dedicate your inner self and] give as donations to the poor of those things which are within [of inward righteousness] and behold, everything is purified {and} clean for you.G4133G1325G1654G1751G2532G2400G3956G2076G2513G5213 42But woe to you, Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every [little] herb, but disregard {and} neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done without leaving the others undone.G235G3759G5213G5330G3754G586G2238G2532G4076G2532G3956G3001G2532G3928G2920G2532G26G2316G5023G1163G4160G3361G863G2548G863 43Woe to you, Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and [you love] to be greeted {and} bowed down to in the [public] marketplaces.G3759G5213G5330G3754G25G4410G1722G4864G2532G783G1722G58 44Woe to you! For you are like graves which are not marked {or} seen, and men walk over them without being aware of it [and are ceremonially defiled].G3759G5213G1122G2532G5330G5273G3754G2075G5613G3419G3588G82G2532G444G4043G1883G1492G3756G1492 45One of the experts in the [Mosaic] Law answered Him, Teacher, in saying this, You reproach {and} outrage {and} affront even us!G1161G611G5100G3544G3004G846G1320G5023G3004G5195G2248G2532 46But He said, Woe to you, the lawyers, also! For you load men with oppressive burdens hard to bear, and you do not personally [even gently] touch the burdens with one of your fingers.G1161G2036G3759G5213G2532G3544G3754G5412G444G5413G1419G2532G846G4379G3756G5413G1520G5216G1147 47Woe to you! For you are rebuilding {and} repairing the tombs of the prophets, whom your fathers killed (destroyed).G3759G5213G3754G3618G3419G4396G1161G5216G3962G615G846 48So you bear witness and give your full approval {and} consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they actually killed them, and you rebuild {and} repair monuments to them.G686G3140G2532G4909G2041G5216G3962G3754G846G3303G615G846G1161G5210G3618G846G3419 49For this reason also the wisdom of God said, I will send them prophets and apostles, [some] of whom they will put to death and persecute,G1223G5124G2532G2036G4678G2316G649G1519G846G4396G2532G652G2532G1537G846G615G2532G1559 50So that the blood of all the prophets shed from the foundation of the world may be charged against {and} required of this age {and} generation,G2443G129G3956G4396G3588G1632G575G2602G2889G1567G575G5026G1074 51From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against {and} required of this age {and} generation.G575G129G6G2193G129G2197G3588G622G3342G2379G2532G3624G3483G3004G5213G1567G575G5026G1074 52Woe to you, lawyers (experts in the Mosaic Law)! For you have taken away the key to knowledge; you did not go in yourselves, and you hindered {and} prevented those who were entering.G3759G5213G3544G3754G142G2807G1108G1525G3756G1525G846G2532G1525G2967 53As He left there, the scribes and the Pharisees [followed Him closely, and they] began to be enraged with {and} set themselves violently against Him and to draw Him out {and} provoke Him to speak of many things,G1161G846G3004G5023G4314G846G1122G2532G5330G756G1758G1171G2532G653G846G653G4012G4119 54Secretly watching {and} plotting {and} lying in wait for Him, to seize upon something He might say [that they might accuse Him].G1748G846G2532G2212G2340G5100G1537G846G4750G2443G2723G846
