11One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."G2532G1096G1722G846G1511G4336G1722G5100G5117G5613G3973G5100G846G3101G2036G4314G846G2962G1321G2248G4336G2531G2491G2532G1321G846G31012He said to them, "When you pray, say: "'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come.G1161G2036G846G3752G4336G3004G2257G3962G3588G1722G3772G37G4675G3686G4675G932G2064G4675G2307G1096G5613G1722G3772G2532G1909G10933Give us each day our daily bread.G1325G2254G2596G2250G2257G1967G7404Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.

The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.'G2548G2081G611G2036G2873G3930G3427G3361G2374G2808G2235G2808G2532G3450G3813G1526G3326G1700G1519G2845G3756G1410G450G1325G46718I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs.G3004G5213G1499G1453G3756G1453G1325G846G1223G1511G846G5384G1065G1223G846G335G450G1325G846G3745G55359"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.G2504G3004G5213G154G2532G1325G5213G2212G2532G2147G2925G2532G455G521310For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.G1063G3956G154G2983G2532G2212G2147G2532G2925G45511"Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?G1161G5207G154G740G5216G3962G5101G1929G3361G846G3037G1499G2486G1929G473G2486G1929G3361G846G378912Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?G2228G2532G1437G154G5609G3361G1929G846G465113If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"G1487G5210G3767G5225G4190G1492G1325G18G1390G5216G5043G4214G3123G1325G3772G3962G1537G1325G40G4151G154G84614Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.G2532G2258G1544G1140G2532G846G2258G2974G1161G1096G1140G1831G2974G2980G2532G3793G229615But some of them said, "By Beelzebub, the prince of demons, he is driving out demons."G1161G5100G1537G846G2036G1544G1140G1722G954G758G114016Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.G1161G2087G3985G2212G3844G846G4592G1537G377217Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall.G1161G846G1492G846G1270G2036G846G3956G932G1266G1909G1438G2049G2532G3624G1909G3624G409818If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub.G1161G1499G4567G1499G1266G1909G1438G4459G2476G846G932G2476G3754G3004G3165G1544G1140G1722G95419Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges.G1161G1487G1473G1722G954G1544G1140G1722G5101G1544G5216G5207G1544G1223G5124G846G2071G5216G292320But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.G1161G1487G1722G1147G2316G1544G1140G686G932G2316G5348G1909G520921"When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe.G3752G2478G2528G5442G833G1438G846G5224G2076G1722G151522But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils.G1161G1875G2478G846G1904G3528G846G142G846G3833G1909G3739G3982G2532G1239G846G466123"He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me, scatters.G5607G3361G3326G1700G2076G2596G1700G2532G4863G3361G3326G1700G465024"When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.'G3752G169G4151G1831G575G444G1330G1223G504G5117G2212G372G2532G2147G3361G3004G5290G1519G3450G3624G3606G183125When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order.G2532G2064G2147G4563G2532G288526Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first."G5119G4198G2532G3880G2033G2087G4151G4191G1438G2532G1525G2730G1563G2532G2078G1565G444G1096G5501G441327As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, "Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you."G1161G1096G1722G846G3004G5023G5100G1135G1537G3793G1869G5456G2036G846G3107G2836G941G4571G2532G3149G3739G233728He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."G1161G846G2036G3304G3107G191G3056G2316G2532G5442G84629As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.G1161G3793G1865G756G3004G3778G2076G4190G1074G1934G4592G2532G1325G3756G4592G1325G846G1508G4592G2495G439630For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.G1063G2531G2495G1096G4592G3536G3779G2071G2532G5207G444G2071G5026G107431The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon's wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.G938G3558G1453G1722G2920G3326G435G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G2064G1537G4009G1093G191G4678G4672G2532G2400G4119G4672G560232The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.G435G3535G450G1722G2920G3326G5026G1074G2532G2632G846G3754G3340G1519G2782G2495G2532G2400G4119G2495G560233"No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.G1161G3762G681G3088G5087G1519G2926G3761G5259G3426G235G1909G3087G2443G3588G1531G991G533834Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness.G3088G4983G2076G3788G3767G1875G4675G3788G5600G573G4675G3650G4983G2532G2076G5460G1161G3752G5600G4190G4675G4983G2532G465235See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness.G4648G3767G5457G3588G1722G4671G2076G3361G465536Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you."G1487G4675G3650G4983G3767G5460G2192G3361G5100G3313G4652G3650G2071G5460G5613G3752G796G3088G5461G4571G546137When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table.G1161G1722G2980G5100G5330G2065G846G3704G709G3844G846G1161G1525G37738But the Pharisee, noticing that Jesus did not first wash before the meal, was surprised.G1161G5330G1492G2296G3754G907G3756G4412G907G4253G71239Then the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.G1161G2962G2036G4314G846G3568G2511G5210G5330G2511G1855G4221G2532G4094G1161G5216G2081G1073G724G2532G418940You foolish people! Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also?G878G4160G3756G4160G3588G1855G4160G3588G2081G253241But give what is inside the dish to the poor, and everything will be clean for you.G4133G1325G1654G1751G2532G2400G3956G2076G2513G521342"Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.G235G3759G5213G5330G3754G586G2238G2532G4076G2532G3956G3001G2532G3928G2920G2532G26G2316G5023G1163G4160G3361G863G2548G86343"Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces.G3759G5213G5330G3754G25G4410G1722G4864G2532G783G1722G5844"Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it."G3759G5213G1122G2532G5330G5273G3754G2075G5613G3419G3588G82G2532G444G4043G1883G1492G3756G149245One of the experts in the law answered him, "Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also."G1161G611G5100G3544G3004G846G1320G5023G3004G5195G2248G253246Jesus replied, "And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.G1161G2036G3759G5213G2532G3544G3754G5412G444G5413G1419G2532G846G4379G3756G5413G1520G5216G114747"Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your forefathers who killed them.G3759G5213G3754G3618G3419G4396G1161G5216G3962G615G84648So you testify that you approve of what your forefathers did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.G686G3140G2532G4909G2041G5216G3962G3754G846G3303G615G846G1161G5210G3618G846G341949Because of this, God in his wisdom said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.'G1223G5124G2532G2036G4678G2316G649G1519G846G4396G2532G652G2532G1537G846G615G2532G155950Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world,G2443G129G3956G4396G3588G1632G575G2602G2889G1567G575G5026G107451from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary.
