Luke 11:1-13
The Lord's Prayer
11 Now
Jesus[a] was
praying in a certain place, and when he finished, one of his disciples said to
him, “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.” 2 And he said to them, “When
you pray, say:
“Father, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
3 Give us each day our daily bread,[b]
4 and forgive us our sins,
for
we ourselves forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And lead us not into temptation.”
5 And he said to them, “Which of you who has a friend will go to him at midnight and
say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have
nothing to set before him’; 7 and he will answer from within, ‘Do not bother me; the door is
now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you
anything’? 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything
because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence[c] he will rise and give him whatever he needs. 9 And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and
to the one who knocks it will be opened. 11 What father among you, if his son asks for[d] a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask him!”
