Luke 11:5-13 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 5 ¶ [a]Moreover he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves? 6 For a friend of mine is come out of the way to me, and I have nothing to set before him: 7 And he within should answer, and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and give them to thee. 8 I say unto you, Though he would not arise and give him, because he is his friend, yet doubtless because of his [b]importunity, he would rise and give him as many as he needed. 9 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. 10 For everyone that asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? 13 If ye then which are evil, can give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the holy Ghost to them that desire him? Footnotes: Luke 11:5 We must pray with faith. Luke 11:8 Word for word, impudency: but that impudency which is spoken of here, is not to be found fault withall, but is very commendable before God, for he liketh well of such importunity.
