\v 1 It happened when Jesus was praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray just as John taught his disciples."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 2 Jesus said to them, "When you pray say,
|
|
\q 'Father, sanctify your name.
|
|
\q2 Let your kingdom come.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 Give us each day our daily bread.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Forgive us our sins,
|
|
\q2 as we ourselves forgive everyone
|
|
\q2 who is in debt to us.
|
|
\q Do not lead us into temptation.'"

\v 5 Jesus said to them, "Which of you will have a friend, and will go to him at midnight, and say to him, 'Friend, lend to me three loaves of bread,
|
|
\v 6 since a friend of mine just came in from the road, and I do not have anything to set before him.'
|
|
\v 7 Then the one inside, answering, may say, 'Do not bother me. The door is already shut, and my children, along with me, are in bed. I am not able to get up and give bread to you.'
|
|
\v 8 I say to you, even if he does not get up and give bread to you because you are his friend, yet because of your shameless persistence, he will get up and give you as many loaves of bread as you need.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 9 I also say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
|
|
\v 10 For every asking person receives; and the seeking person finds; and to the person who knocks, it will be opened.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 11 Which of you whose son asks his father for a loaf, will give to him a stone instead, or instead of a fish, a snake?
|
|
\v 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will you give a scorpion to him?
|
|
\v 13 Therefore, if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?"

\v 14 Later, Jesus was driving out a demon, and it was mute. It happened that when the demon had come out, the mute man spoke. The crowds were astonished!
|
|
\v 15 But some of the people said, "By Beelzebul, the ruler of demons, he drives out demons."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 16 Others tested him and sought from him a sign from heaven.
|
|
\v 17 But Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, "Every kingdom divided against itself is made desolate, and a house divided against itself falls.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 18 If Satan is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I cast out demons by Beelzebul.
|
|
\v 19 If I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? Because of this, they will be your judges.
|
|
\v 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 21 When a strong man who is fully armed guards his own house, his goods are safe,
|
|
\v 22 but when a stronger man overcomes him, the stronger man takes away the armor from the man, and plunders the man's possessions.
|
|
\v 23 The one who is not with me is against me, and the one who does not gather with me scatters.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 24 When an unclean spirit has gone away from a man, it passes through waterless places and looks for rest. Finding none, it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came.'
|
|
\v 25 Having returned, it finds that house swept out and put in order.
|
|
\v 26 Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more evil than itself and they all come in to live there. Then the final condition of that man becomes worse than the first."

\v 27 It happened that, as he said these things, a certain woman raised her voice above the crowd and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you."
|
|
\v 28 But he said, "Rather, blessed are they who hear the word of God and keep it."
|

|
\v 29 As the crowds were gathering even more people, he began to say, "This generation is an evil generation. It seeks a sign, though no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.
|
|
\v 30 For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so too the Son of Man will be a sign to this generation.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 31 The Queen of the South will rise up 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 see, someone greater than Solomon is here.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation of people and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and see, someone greater than Jonah is here.

\v 33 No one, after lighting a lamp, places it in a dark closet or under a basket, but on a lampstand so that those who enter may have light.
|
|
\v 34 Your eye is the lamp of the body. When your eye is good, the whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your body is full of darkness.
|
|
\v 35 Therefore, be careful that the light in you is not darkness.
|
|
\v 36 If then, your whole body is full of light, with no part of it in darkness, then your whole body will be like when a lamp shines its brightness on you."

\v 37 When he had finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to eat with him at his house, so Jesus went in and reclined.
|
|
\v 38 And the Pharisee was surprised that he first did not wash before dinner.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 39 But the Lord said to him, "Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of cups and bowls, but the inside of you is filled with greed and evil.
|
|
\v 40 You senseless men! Did not the one who made the outside also make the inside?
|
|
\v 41 Give to the poor what is inside, and then all things will be clean for you.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 42 But woe to you Pharisees, because you tithe the mint and rue and every other garden herb, but you neglect justice and the love of God. It is necessary to act justly and love God, without failing to do the other things also.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 43 Woe to you Pharisees, for you love the front seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the market places.
|
|
\v 44 Woe to you, for you are like unmarked graves that people walk over without knowing it."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 45 And a certain teacher of the Jewish laws answered him and said, "Teacher, what you say insults us too."
|
|
\v 46 Jesus said, "And woe to you, teachers of the law! For you burden men with burdens hard to carry, but you do not even touch those burdens with one of your own fingers.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 47 Woe to you, because you build memorials for the prophets' tombs, and yet it was your ancestors who killed them.
|
|
\v 48 So you are witnesses and consent to the works of your ancestors, because they indeed killed the prophets, whose tombs you build memorials for.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 49 For this reason also, God's wisdom said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and they will persecute and kill some of them.'
|
|
\v 50 This generation, then, will be held responsible for all the blood of the prophets shed since the world began,
|
|
\v 51 from Abel's blood to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I say to you, this generation will be held responsible.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 52 Woe to you teachers of Jewish laws, because you have taken away the key of knowledge; you do not enter in yourselves, and you hinder those who are entering."

|
\v 53 After Jesus left there, the scribes and the Pharisees opposed him and argued with him about many things,
|
|
\v 54 trying to trap him in his own words.
