1. He was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."
|
1. And G2532 it came to pass G1096 , that , as he G846 was G1511 praying G4336 in G1722 a certain G5100 place G5117 , when G5613 he ceased G3973 , one G5100 of his G846 disciples G3101 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , Lord G2962 , teach G1321 us G2248 to pray G4336 , as G2531 John G2491 also G2532 taught G1321 his G848 disciples G3101 .
|
|
2. And he said to them, "When you pray, say: "Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
|
2. And G1161 he said G2036 unto them G846 , When G3752 ye pray G4336 , say G3004 , Our G2257 Father G3962 which G3588 art in G1722 heaven G3772 , Hallowed G37 be thy G4675 name G3686 . Thy G4675 kingdom G932 come G2064 . Thy G4675 will G2307 be done G1096 , as G5613 in G1722 heaven G3772 , so G2532 in G1909 earth G1093 .
|
|
3. Give us each day our daily bread;
|
3. Give G1325 us G2254 day by day G2596 G2250 our G2257 daily G1967 bread G740 .
|
|
4. and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive every one who is indebted to us; and lead us not into temptation."
|
4. And G2532 forgive G863 us G2254 our G2257 sins G266 ; for G1063 we G846 also G2532 forgive G863 every one G3956 that is indebted G3784 to us G2254 . And G2532 lead G1533 us G2248 not G3361 into G1519 temptation G3986 ; but G235 deliver G4506 us G2248 from G575 evil G4190 .
|
|
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;
|
5. And G2532 he said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , Which G5101 of G1537 you G5216 shall have G2192 a friend G5384 , and G2532 shall go G4198 unto G4314 him G846 at midnight G3317 , and G2532 say G2036 unto him G846 , Friend G5384 , lend G5531 me G3427 three G5140 loaves G740 ;
|
|
6. for a friend of mine has arrived on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him';
|
6. For G1894 a friend G5384 of mine G3450 in G1537 his journey G3598 is come G3854 to G4314 me G3165 , and G2532 I have G2192 nothing G3756 to G3739 set before G3908 him G846 ?
|
|
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'?
|
7. And he G2548 from within G2081 shall answer G611 and say G2036 , Trouble me not G3930 G3427 G3361 G2873 : the G3588 door G2374 is now G2235 shut G2808 , and G2532 my G3450 children G3813 are G1526 with G3326 me G1700 in G1519 bed G2845 ; I cannot G1410 G3756 rise G450 and give G1325 thee G4671 .
|
|
8. I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
|
8. I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Though G1499 he will not G3756 rise G450 and give G1325 him G846 , because he is G1511 his G846 friend G5384 , yet G1065 because G1223 of his G846 importunity G335 he will rise G1453 and give G1325 him G846 as many as G3745 he needeth G5535 .
|
|
9. And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
|
9. And I G2504 say G3004 unto you G5213 , Ask G154 , and G2532 it shall be given G1325 you G5213 ; seek G2212 , and G2532 ye shall find G2147 ; knock G2925 , and G2532 it shall be opened G455 unto you G5213 .
|
|
10. For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
|
10. For G1063 every one G3956 that asketh G154 receiveth G2983 ; and G2532 he that seeketh G2212 findeth G2147 ; and G2532 to him that knocketh G2925 it shall be opened G455 .
|
|
11. What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;
|
11. If G1161 a son G5207 shall ask G154 bread G740 of any G5101 of you G5216 that is a father G3962 , will he G3361 give G1929 him G846 a stone G3037 ? or G2532 if G1487 he ask a fish G2486 , will G3361 he for G473 a fish G2486 give G1929 him G846 a serpent G3789 ?
|
|
12. or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
|
12. Or G2228 G2532 if G1437 he shall ask G154 an egg G5609 , will he G3361 offer G1929 him G846 a scorpion G4651 ?
|
|
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!"
|
13. If G1487 ye G5210 then G3767 , being G5225 evil G4190 , know G1492 how to give G1325 good G18 gifts G1390 unto your G5216 children G5043 : how much G4214 more G3123 shall your heavenly G1537 G3772 Father G3962 give G1325 the Holy G40 Spirit G4151 to them that ask G154 him G846 ?
|
|
14. Now he was casting out a demon that was dumb; when the demon had gone out, the dumb man spoke, and the people marveled.
|
14. And G2532 he was G2258 casting out G1544 a devil G1140 , and G2532 it G846 was G2258 dumb G2974 . And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , when the G3588 devil G1140 was gone out G1831 , the G3588 dumb G2974 spake G2980 ; and G2532 the G3588 people G3793 wondered G2296 .
|
|
15. But some of them said, "He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of demons";
|
15. But G1161 some G5100 of G1537 them G846 said G2036 , He casteth out G1544 devils G1140 through G1722 Beelzebub G954 the chief G758 of the G3588 devils G1140 .
|
|
16. while others, to test him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
|
16. And G1161 others G2087 , tempting G3985 him, sought G2212 of G3844 him G846 a sign G4592 from G1537 heaven G3772 .
|
|
17. But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is laid waste, and a divided household falls.
|
17. But G1161 he G846 , knowing G1492 their G846 thoughts G1270 , said G2036 unto them G846 , Every G3956 kingdom G932 divided G1266 against G1909 itself G1438 is brought to desolation G2049 ; and G2532 a house G3624 divided against G1909 a house G3624 falleth G4098 .
|
|
18. And if Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
|
18. G1161 If G1487 Satan G4567 also G2532 be divided G1266 against G1909 himself G1438 , how G4459 shall his G846 kingdom G932 stand G2476 ? because G3754 ye say G3004 that I G3165 cast out G1544 devils G1140 through G1722 Beelzebub G954 .
|
|
19. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges.
|
19. And G1161 if G1487 I G1473 by G1722 Beelzebub G954 cast out G1544 devils G1140 , by G1722 whom G5101 do your G5216 sons G5207 cast them out G1544 ? therefore G1223 G5124 shall they G846 be G2071 your G5216 judges G2923 .
|
|
20. But if it is by the finger of God that I cast out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
|
20. But G1161 if G1487 I with G1722 the finger G1147 of God G2316 cast out G1544 devils G1140 , no doubt G686 the G3588 kingdom G932 of God G2316 is come G5348 upon G1909 you G5209 .
|
|
21. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace;
|
21. When G3752 a strong man G2478 armed G2528 keepeth G5442 his G1438 palace G833 , his G846 goods G5224 are G2076 in G1722 peace G1515 :
|
|
22. but when one stronger than he assails him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted, and divides his spoil.
|
22. But G1161 when G1875 a stronger G2478 than he G846 shall come upon G1904 him, and overcome G3528 him G846 , he taketh G142 from him all his armor G3833 G846 wherein G1909 G3739 he trusted G3982 , and G2532 divideth G1239 his G846 spoils G4661 .
|
|
23. He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters.
|
23. He that is G5607 not G3361 with G3326 me G1700 is G2076 against G2596 me G1700 : and G2532 he that gathereth G4863 not G3361 with G3326 me G1700 scattereth G4650 .
|
|
24. "When the unclean spirit has gone out of a man, he passes through waterless places seeking rest; and finding none he says, `I will return to my house from which I came.'
|
24. When G3752 the G3588 unclean G169 spirit G4151 is gone G1831 out of G575 a man G444 , he walketh G1330 through G1223 dry G504 places G5117 , seeking G2212 rest G372 ; and G2532 finding G2147 none G3361 , he saith G3004 , I will return G5290 unto G1519 my G3450 house G3624 whence G3606 I came out G1831 .
|
|
25. And when he comes he finds it swept and put in order.
|
25. And G2532 when he cometh G2064 , he findeth G2147 it swept G4563 and G2532 garnished G2885 .
|
|
26. Then he goes and brings seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first."
|
26. Then G5119 goeth G4198 he, and G2532 taketh G3880 to him seven G2033 other G2087 spirits G4151 more wicked G4191 than himself G1438 ; and G2532 they enter in G1525 , and G2532 dwell G2730 there G1563 : and G2532 the G3588 last G2078 state of that G1565 man G444 is G1096 worse G5501 than the G3588 first G4413 .
|
|
27. As he said this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts that you sucked!"
|
27. And G1161 it came to pass G1096 , as he G846 spake G3004 these things G5023 , a certain G5100 woman G1135 of G1537 the G3588 company G3793 lifted up G1869 her voice G5456 , and said G2036 unto him G846 , Blessed G3107 is the G3588 womb G2836 that bare G941 thee G4571 , and G2532 the paps G3149 which G3739 thou hast sucked G2337 .
|
|
28. But he said, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!"
|
28. But G1161 he G846 said G2036 , Yea rather G3304 , blessed G3107 are they that hear G191 the G3588 word G3056 of God G2316 , and G2532 keep G5442 it G846 .
|
|
29. When the crowds were increasing, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign shall be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
|
29. And G1161 when the G3588 people G3793 were gathered thick together G1865 , he began G756 to say G3004 , This G3778 is G2076 an evil G4190 generation G1074 : they seek G1934 a sign G4592 ; and G2532 there shall no G3756 sign G4592 be given G1325 it G846 , but G1508 the G3588 sign G4592 of Jonah G2495 the G3588 prophet G4396 .
|
|
30. For as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so will the Son of man be to this generation.
|
30. For G1063 as G2531 Jonah G2495 was G1096 a sign G4592 unto the G444 Ninevites G3536 , so G3779 shall also G2532 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 be G2071 to this G5026 generation G1074 .
|
|
31. The queen of the South will arise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.
|
31. The queen G938 of the south G3558 shall rise up G1453 in G1722 the G3588 judgment G2920 with G3326 the G3588 men G435 of this G5026 generation G1074 , and G2532 condemn G2632 them G846 : for G3754 she came G2064 from G1537 the G3588 utmost parts G4009 of the G3588 earth G1093 to hear G191 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of Solomon G4672 ; and G2532 , behold G2400 , a greater G4119 than Solomon G4672 is here G5602 .
|
|
32. The men of Nineveh will arise at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.
|
32. The men G435 of Nineveh G3535 shall rise up G450 in G1722 the G3588 judgment G2920 with G3326 this G5026 generation G1074 , and G2532 shall condemn G2632 it G846 : for G3754 they repented G3340 at G1519 the G3588 preaching G2782 of Jonah G2495 ; and G2532 , behold G2400 , a greater G4119 than Jonah G2495 is here G5602 .
|
|
33. "No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bushel, but on a stand, that those who enter may see the light.
|
33. No man G3762 , when he hath lighted G681 a candle G3088 , putteth G5087 it in G1519 a secret place G2927 , neither G3761 under G5259 a bushel G3426 , but G235 on G1909 a candlestick G3087 , that G2443 they which come in G1531 may see G991 the G3588 light G5338 .
|
|
34. Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is sound, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound, your body is full of darkness.
|
34. The G3588 light G3088 of the G3588 body G4983 is G2076 the G3588 eye G3788 : therefore G3767 when G3752 thine G4675 eye G3788 is G5600 single G573 , thy G4675 whole G3650 body G4983 also G2532 is G2076 full of light G5460 ; but G1161 when G1875 thine eye is G5600 evil G4190 , thy G4675 body G4983 also G2532 is full of darkness G4652 .
|
|
35. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness.
|
35. Take heed G4648 therefore G3767 that the G3588 light G5457 which G3588 is in G1722 thee G4671 be G2076 not G3361 darkness G4655 .
|
|
36. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light."
|
36. If G1487 thy G4675 whole G3650 body G4983 therefore G3767 be full of light G5460 , having G2192 no G3361 G5100 part G3313 dark G4652 , the whole G3650 shall be G2071 full of light G5460 , as G5613 when G3752 the G3588 bright shining G796 of a candle G3088 doth give thee light G5461 G4571 .
|
|
37. While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in and sat at table.
|
37. And G1161 as he spake G2980 , a certain G5100 Pharisee G5330 besought G2065 him G846 to G3704 dine G709 with G3844 him G846 : and G1161 he went G1525 in , and sat down to meat G377 .
|
|
38. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner.
|
38. And G1161 when the G3588 Pharisee G5330 saw G1492 it, he marveled G2296 that G3754 he had not G3756 first G4412 washed G907 before G4253 dinner G712 .
|
|
39. And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of extortion and wickedness.
|
39. And G1161 the G3588 Lord G2962 said G2036 unto G4314 him G846 , Now G3568 do ye G5210 Pharisees G5330 make clean G2511 the G3588 outside G1855 of the G3588 cup G4221 and G2532 the G3588 platter G4094 ; but G1161 your G5216 inward part G2081 is full G1073 of ravening G724 and G2532 wickedness G4189 .
|
|
40. You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also?
|
40. Ye fools G878 , did not G3756 he that made G4160 that G3588 which is without G1855 make G4160 that G3588 which is within G2081 also G2532 ?
|
|
41. But give for alms those things which are within; and behold, everything is clean for you.
|
41. But G4133 rather give G1325 alms G1654 of such things as ye have G1751 ; and G2532 , behold G2400 , all things G3956 are G2076 clean G2513 unto you G5213 .
|
|
42. "But woe to you Pharisees! for you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God; these you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.
|
42. But G235 woe G3759 unto you G5213 , Pharisees G5330 ! for G3754 ye tithe G586 mint G2238 and G2532 rue G4076 and G2532 all manner G3956 of herbs G3001 , and G2532 pass over G3928 judgment G2920 and G2532 the G3588 love G26 of God G2316 : these G5023 ought G1163 ye to have done G4160 , and not to leave the other undone G2548 G3361 G863 .
|
|
43. Woe to you Pharisees! for you love the best seat in the synagogues and salutations in the market places.
|
43. Woe G3759 unto you G5213 , Pharisees G5330 ! for G3754 ye love G25 the G3588 uppermost seats G4410 in G1722 the G3588 synagogues G4864 , and G2532 greetings G783 in G1722 the G3588 markets G58 .
|
|
44. Woe to you! for you are like graves which are not seen, and men walk over them without knowing it."
|
44. Woe G3759 unto you G5213 , scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees G5330 , hypocrites G5273 ! for G3754 ye are G2075 as G5613 graves G3419 which appear not G82 , and G2532 the G3588 men G444 that walk G4043 over G1883 them are not aware G1492 G3756 of them .
|
|
45. One of the lawyers answered him, "Teacher, in saying this you reproach us also."
|
45. Then G1161 answered G611 one G5100 of the G3588 lawyers G3544 , and said G3004 unto him G846 , Master G1320 , thus G5023 saying G3004 thou reproachest G5195 us G2248 also G2532 .
|
|
46. And he said, "Woe to you lawyers also! for you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.
|
46. And G1161 he G3588 said G2036 , Woe G3759 unto you G5213 also G2532 , ye lawyers G3544 ! for G3754 ye lade G5412 men G444 with burdens G5413 grievous to be borne G1419 , and G2532 ye yourselves G846 touch G4379 not G3756 the G3588 burdens G5413 with one G1520 of your G5216 fingers G1147 .
|
|
47. Woe to you! for you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed.
|
47. Woe G3759 unto you G5213 ! for G3754 ye build G3618 the G3588 sepulchers G3419 of the G3588 prophets G4396 , and G1161 your G5216 fathers G3962 killed G615 them G846 .
|
|
48. So you are witnesses and consent to the deeds of your fathers; for they killed them, and you build their tombs.
|
48. Truly G686 ye bear witness G3140 that G2532 ye allow G4909 the G3588 deeds G2041 of your G5216 fathers G3962 : for G3754 they G846 indeed G3303 killed G615 them G846 , and G1161 ye G5210 build G3618 their G846 sepulchers G3419 .
|
|
49. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, `I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,'
|
49. Therefore G1223 G5124 also G2532 said G2036 the G3588 wisdom G4678 of God G2316 , I will send G649 G1519 them G846 prophets G4396 and G2532 apostles G652 , and G2532 some of G1537 them G846 they shall slay G615 and G2532 persecute G1559 :
|
|
50. that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,
|
50. That G2443 the G3588 blood G129 of all G3956 the G3588 prophets G4396 , which was shed G1632 from G575 the foundation G2602 of the world G2889 , may be required G1567 of G575 this G5026 generation G1074 ;
|
|
