Luke 11
1
When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”
2
He said to them, “\+w When|strong="G3752"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w pray|strong="G4336"\+w*, \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w*,

4
Forgive \+w us|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w our|strong="G2532"\+w* sins,
5
He said to them, “\+w Which|strong="G5101"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w*, \+w if|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w go|strong="G4198"\+w* \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w a|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w friend|strong="G5384"\+w* \+w at|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w midnight|strong="G3317"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w tell|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w him|strong="G2532"\+w*, ‘\+w Friend|strong="G5384"\+w*, \+w lend|strong="G5531"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w three|strong="G5140"\+w* loaves \+w of|strong="G1537"\+w* bread,

14
He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.
15
But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”
16
Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.
17
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “\+w Every|strong="G3956"\+w* kingdom \+w divided|strong="G1266"\+w* \+w against|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w itself|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w brought|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w to|strong="G2532"\+w* desolation. \+w A|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w house|strong="G3624"\+w* \+w divided|strong="G1266"\+w* \+w against|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w itself|strong="G1438"\+w* \+w falls|strong="G4098"\+w*.

It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”
