Luke 11

Authored by: American Standard Version
11:1
Και εγενετο εν τω ειναι αυτον εν τοπω τινι προσευχομενον ως επαυσατο ειπεν τις των μαθητων αυτου προς αυτον Κυριε διδαξον ημας προσευχεσθαι καθως και Ιωαννης εδιδαξεν τους μαθητας αυτου
And it came to pass, as he was praying in a certain place, that when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, even as John also taught his disciples.
11:2
Ειπεν δε αυτοις Οταν προσευχησθε λεγετε Πατερ αγιασθητω το ονομα σου Ελθετω η βασιλεια σου
And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Father, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
11:3
Τον αρτον ημων τον επιουσιον διδου ημιν το καθ ημεραν
Give us day by day our daily bread.
11:4
Και αφες ημιν τας αμαρτιας ημων Και γαρ αυτοι αφιομεν παντι οφειλοντι ημιν Και μη εισενεγκης ημας εις πειρασμον
And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And bring us not into temptation.
11:5
Και ειπεν προς αυτους Τις εξ υμων εξει φιλον και πορευσεται προς αυτον μεσονυκτιου και ειπη αυτω Φιλε χρησον μοι τρεις αρτους
And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
11:6
επειδη φιλος μου παρεγενετο εξ οδου προς με και ουκ εχω ο παραθησω αυτω
for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;
11:7
Κακεινος εσωθεν αποκριθεις ειπη Μη μοι κοπους παρεχε ηδη η θυρα κεκλεισται και τα παιδια μου μετ εμου εις την κοιτην εισιν ου δυναμαι αναστας δουναι σοι
and he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee?
11:8
Λεγω υμιν ει και ου δωσει αυτω αναστας δια το ειναι φιλον αυτου δια γε την αναιδειαν αυτου εγερθεις δωσει αυτω οσων χρηζει
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
11:9
Καγω υμιν λεγω αιτειτε και δοθησεται υμιν ζητειτε και ευρησετε κρουετε και ανοιγησεται υμιν
And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
1
11:10
πας γαρ ο αιτων λαμβανει και ο ζητων ευρισκει και τω κρουοντι ανοιγησεται
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11:11
Τινα δε εξ υμων τον πατερα αιτησει ο υιος ιχθυν και αντι ιχθυος οφιν αυτω επιδωσει
And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?
11:12
η και αιτησει ωον επιδωσει αυτω σκορπιον
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
11:13
ει ουν υμεις πονηροι υπαρχοντες οιδατε δοματα αγαθα διδοναι τοις τεκνοις υμων ποσω μαλλον ο Πατηρ ο εξ ουρανου δωσει Πνευμα Αγιον τοις αιτουσιν αυτον
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
11:14
Και ην εκβαλλων δαιμονιον και αυτο ην κωφον εγενετο δε του δαιμονιου εξελθοντος ελαλησεν ο κωφος και εθαυμασαν οι οχλοι
And he was casting out a demon that was dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled.
11:15
τινες δε εξ αυτων ειπον Εν Βεελζεβουλ τω αρχοντι των δαιμονιων εκβαλλει τα δαιμονια
But some of them said, By Beelzebub the prince of the demons casteth he out demons.
11:16
ετεροι δε πειραζοντες σημειον εξ ουρανου εζητουν παρ αυτου
And others, trying him, sought of him a sign from heaven.
11:17
Αυτος δε ειδως αυτων τα διανοηματα ειπεν αυτοις Πασα βασιλεια εφ εαυτην διαμερισθεισα ερημουται και οικος επι οικον πιπτει
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.
11:18
ει δε και ο Σατανας εφ εαυτον διεμερισθη πως σταθησεται η βασιλεια αυτου οτι λεγετε εν Βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλειν με τα δαιμονια
And if Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons by Beelzebub.
11:19
ει δε εγω εν Βεελζεβουλ εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια οι υιοι υμων εν τινι εκβαλλουσιν δια τουτο αυτοι υμων κριται εσονται
And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges.
11:20
ει δε εν δακτυλω Θεου εγω εκβαλλω τα δαιμονια αρα εφθασεν εφ υμας η βασιλεια του Θεου
But if I by the finger of God cast out demons, then is the kingdom of God come upon you.
11:21
Οταν ο ισχυρος καθωπλισμενος φυλασση την εαυτου αυλην εν ειρηνη εστιν τα υπαρχοντα αυτου
When the strong man fully armed guardeth his own court, his goods are in peace:
11:22
επαν δε ισχυροτερος αυτου επελθων νικηση αυτον την πανοπλιαν αυτου αιρει εφ η επεποιθει και τα σκυλα αυτου διαδιδωσιν
but when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him his whole armor wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
11:23
Ο μη ων μετ εμου κατ εμου εστιν και ο μη συναγων μετ εμου σκορπιζει
He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.
11:24
Οταν το ακαθαρτον πνευμα εξελθη απο του ανθρωπου διερχεται δι ανυδρων τοπων ζητουν αναπαυσιν και μη ευρισκον τοτε λεγει Υποστρεψω εις τον οικον μου οθεν εξηλθον
The unclean spirit when he is gone out of the man, passeth through waterless places, seeking rest, and finding none, he saith, I will turn back unto my house whence I came out.
11:25
και ελθον ευρισκει σεσαρωμενον και κεκοσμημενον
And when he is come, he findeth it swept and garnished.
11:26
τοτε πορευεται και παραλαμβανει ετερα πνευματα πονηροτερα εαυτου επτα και εισελθοντα κατοικει εκει και γινεται τα εσχατα του ανθρωπου εκεινου χειρονα των πρωτων
Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more evil than himself; and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man becometh worse than the first.
11:27
Εγενετο δε εν τω λεγειν αυτον ταυτα επαρασα τις φωνην γυνη εκ του οχλου ειπεν αυτω Μακαρια η κοιλια η βαστασασα σε και μαστοι ους εθηλασας
And it came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the breasts which thou didst suck.
11:28
Αυτος δε ειπεν Μενουν μακαριοι οι ακουοντες τον λογον του Θεου και φυλασσοντες
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
11:29
Των δε οχλων επαθροιζομενων ηρξατο λεγειν Η γενεα αυτη γενεα πονηρα εστιν σημειον ζητει και σημειον ου δοθησεται αυτη ει μη το σημειον Ιωνα
And when the multitudes were gathering together unto him, he began to say, This generation is an evil generation: it seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it but the sign of Jonah.
11:30
καθως γαρ εγενετο Ιωνας τοις Νινευιταις σημειον ουτως εσται και ο Υιος του ανθρωπου τη γενεα ταυτη
For even as Jonah became a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
11:31
Βασιλισσα νοτου εγερθησεται εν τη κρισει μετα των ανδρων της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινει αυτους οτι ηλθεν εκ των περατων της γης ακουσαι την σοφιαν Σολομωνος και ιδου πλειον Σολομωνος ωδε
The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and shall condemn them: for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
11:32
ανδρες Νινευιται αναστησονται εν τη κρισει μετα της γενεας ταυτης και κατακρινουσιν αυτην οτι μετενοησαν εις το κηρυγμα Ιωνα και ιδου πλειον Ιωνα ωδε
The men of Nineveh shall stand up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here.
11:33
Ουδεις λυχνον αψας εις κρυπτην τιθησιν ουδε υπο τον μοδιον αλλ επι την λυχνιαν ινα οι εισπορευομενοι το φως βλεπωσιν
No man, when he hath lighted a lamp, putteth it in a cellar, neither under the bushel, but on the stand, that they which enter in may see the light.
11:34
Ο λυχνος του σωματος εστιν ο οφθαλμος σου οταν ο οφθαλμος σου απλους η και ολον το σωμα σου φωτεινον εστιν επαν δε πονηρος η και το σωμα σου σκοτεινον
The lamp of thy body is thine eye: when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when it is evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
11:35
σκοπει ουν μη το φως το εν σοι σκοτος εστιν
Look therefore whether the light that is in thee be not darkness.
11:36
ει ουν το σωμα σου ολον φωτεινον μη εχον μερος τι σκοτεινον εσται φωτεινον ολον ως οταν ο λυχνος τη αστραπη φωτιζη σε
If therefore thy whole body be full of light, having no part dark, it shall be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining doth give thee light.
11:37
Εν δε τω λαλησαι ερωτα αυτον Φαρισαιος οπως αριστηση παρ αυτω εισελθων δε ανεπεσεν
Now as he spake, a Pharisee asketh him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
11:38
ο δε Φαρισαιος ιδων εθαυμασεν οτι ου πρωτον εβαπτισθη προ του αριστου
And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first bathed himself before dinner.
11:39
Ειπεν δε ο Κυριος προς αυτον Νυν υμεις οι Φαρισαιοι το εξωθεν του ποτηριου και του πινακος καθαριζετε το δε εσωθεν υμων γεμει αρπαγης και πονηριας
And the Lord said unto him, Now ye the Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter; but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.
11:40
αφρονες ουχ ο ποιησας το εξωθεν και το εσωθεν εποιησεν
Ye foolish ones, did not he that made the outside make the inside also?
11:41
πλην τα ενοντα δοτε ελεημοσυνην και ιδου παντα καθαρα υμιν εστιν
But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, all things are clean unto you.
11:42
Αλλα ουαι υμιν τοις Φαρισαιοις οτι αποδεκατουτε το ηδυοσμον και το πηγανον και παν λαχανον και παρερχεσθε την κρισιν και την αγαπην του Θεου ταυτα δε εδει ποιησαι κακεινα μη παρειναι
But woe unto you Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and every herb, and pass over justice and the love of God: but these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
11:43
Ουαι υμιν τοις Φαρισαιοις οτι αγαπατε την πρωτοκαθεδριαν εν ταις συναγωγαις και τους ασπασμους εν ταις αγοραις
Woe unto you Pharisees! for ye love the chief seats in the synagogues, and the salutations in the marketplaces.
11:44
ουαι υμιν οτι εστε ως τα μνημεια τα αδηλα και οι ανθρωποι οι περιπατουντες επανω ουκ οιδασιν
Woe unto you! for ye are as the tombs which appear not, and the men that walk over them know it not.
11:45
Αποκριθεις δε τις των νομικων λεγει αυτω Διδασκαλε ταυτα λεγων και ημας υβριζεις
And one of the lawyers answering saith unto him, Teacher, in saying this thou reproachest us also.
11:46
Ο δε ειπεν Και υμιν τοις νομικοις ουαι οτι φορτιζετε τους ανθρωπους φορτια δυσβαστακτα και αυτοι ενι των δακτυλων υμων ου προσψαυετε τοις φορτιοις
And he said, Woe unto you lawyers also! for ye load men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
11:47
ουαι υμιν οτι οικοδομειτε τα μνημεια των προφητων οι δε πατερες υμων απεκτειναν αυτους
Woe unto you! for ye build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
11:48
αρα μαρτυρες εστε και συνευδοκειτε τοις εργοις των πατερων υμων οτι αυτοι μεν απεκτειναν αυτους υμεις δε οικοδομειτε
So ye are witnesses and consent unto the works of your fathers: for they killed them, and ye build their tombs.
11:49
δια τουτο και η σοφια του Θεου ειπεν Αποστελω εις αυτους προφητας και αποστολους και εξ αυτων αποκτενουσιν και διωξουσιν
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send unto them prophets and apostles; and some of them they shall kill and persecute;
11:50
ινα εκζητηθη το αιμα παντων των προφητων το εκκεχυμενον απο καταβολης κοσμου απο της γενεας ταυτης
that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
11:51
απο αιματος Αβελ εως αιματος Ζαχαριου του απολομενου μεταξυ του θυσιαστηριου και του οικου ναι λεγω υμιν εκζητηθησεται απο της γενεας ταυτης
from the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary: yea, I say unto you, it shall be required of this generation.
11:52
Ουαι υμιν τοις νομικοις οτι ηρατε την κλειδα της γνωσεως αυτοι ουκ εισηλθατε και τους εισερχομενους εκωλυσατε
Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
11:53
Κακειθεν εξελθοντος αυτου ηρξαντο οι γραμματεις και οι Φαρισαιοι δεινως ενεχειν και αποστοματιζειν αυτον περι πλειονων
And when he was come out from thence, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press upon him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things;
11:54
ενεδρευοντες αυτον θηρευσαι τι εκ του στοματος αυτου
laying wait for him, to catch something out of his mouth.

Three verbs, increasing effort

'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find' uses three different verbs, each implying increasing effort, to describe the same basic act of prayer. Persistence, not just a single request, gets built into the instruction itself.
