CHAP. XI.

1 Christ teacheth to pray, and that instantly: 11 assuring that God so will giue vs good things. 14 He casting out a dumbe deuil, rebuketh the blasphemous Pharisees: 28 and sheweth who are blessed: 29 preacheth to the people, 37 and reprehendeth the outward shew of holinesse in the Pharisees, Scribes and Lawyers.

¹ And it came to passe, that as he was praying in a certaine place, when hee ceased, one of his disciples said vnto him, Lord, teach vs to pray, as Iohn also taught his disciples.

² And hee said vnto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heauen, Halowed be thy Name, Thy kingdome come, Thy will be done as in heauen, so in earth.²

³ Giue vs day by day our dayly bread.³

⁴ And forgiue vs our sinnes: for we also forgiue euery one that is indebted to vs. And lead vs not into temptation, but deliuer vs from euill.

⁵ And he said vnto them, Which of you shall haue a friend, and shall goe vnto him at midnight, and say vnto him, Friend, lend me three loaues.

⁶ For a friend of mine in his iourney is come to me, and I haue nothing to set before him,⁶

⁷ And he from within shal answere and say, Trouble mee not, the doore is now shut, and my children are with me in bed: I cannot rise and giue thee.

⁸ I say vnto you, Though he will not rise, and giue him, because he is his friend: yet because of his importunitie, hee will rise and giue him as many as he needeth.

⁹ And I say vnto you, Aske, and it shalbe giuen you: seeke, and ye shal find: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you.⁹

¹⁰ For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened.

¹¹ If a sonne shall aske bread of any of you that is a father, will hee giue him a stone? Or if he aske a fish, will he for a fish giue him a serpent?¹¹

¹² Or if he shall aske an egge, will he offer him a scorpion?

¹³ If ye then, being euill, know how to giue good gifts vnto your children: how much more shall your heauenly Father giue the holy Spirit to them that aske him?

¹⁴ ¶ And he was casting out a deuil, and it was dumbe. And it came to passe, when the deuill was gone out, the dumbe spake: and the people wondred.

¹⁵ But some of them said, Hee casteth out deuils through Beelzebub the chiefe of the deuils.¹⁵

¹⁶ And other tempting him, sought of him a signe from heauen.

¹⁷ But he knowing their thoughts, said vnto them, Euery kingdome diuided against it selfe, is brought to desolation: and a house diuided against a house, falleth.

¹⁸ If Satan also be diuided against himselfe, how shall his kingdom stand? Because yee say that I cast out deuils through Beelzebub.

¹⁹ And if I by Beelzebub cast out deuils, by whom doe your sonnes cast them out? therefore shall they be your iudges.

²⁰ But if I with the finger of God cast out deuils, no doubt the kingdome of God is come vpon you.

²¹ When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

²² But when a stronger then he shal come vpon him, and ouercome him, hee taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and diuideth his spoiles.

²³ He that is not with me, is against me: and hee that gathereth not with me, scattereth.

²⁴ When the vncleane spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through drie places, seeking rest: and finding none, he sayth, I will returne vnto my house whence I came out.²⁴

²⁵ And when hee commeth, hee findeth it swept and garnished.

²⁶ Then goeth he, and taketh to him seuen other spirits more wicked then himselfe, and they enter in, and dwell there, and the last state of that man is worse then the first.

²⁷ ¶ And it came to passe as hee spake these things, a certaine woman of the company lift vp her voice, and said vnto him, Blessed is the wombe that bare thee, and the pappes which thou hast sucked.

²⁸ But hee said, Yea, rather blessed are they that heare the word of God, and keepe it.

²⁹ ¶ And when the people were gathered thicke together, hee began to say, This is an euill generation, they seeke a signe, and there shall no signe be giuen it, but the signe of Ionas the Prophet:²⁹

³⁰ For as Ionas was a signe vnto the Nineuites, so shall also the Sonne of man be to this generation.

³¹ The Queene of the South shall rise vp in the iudgement with the men of this generation, & condemne them: for shee came from the vtmost parts of the earth, to heare the wisedome of Solomon: and behold, a greater then Solomon is here.

³² The men of Nineue shall rise vp in the iudgement with this generation, and shall condemne it: for they repented at the preaching of Ionas, and behold, a greater then Ionas is here.

³³ No man when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither vnder a bushell, but on a candlesticke, that they which come in may see the light.³³

³⁴ The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light: but when thine eye is euill, thy body also is full of darkenesse.³⁴

³⁵ Take heede therefore, that the light which is in thee, be not darknesse.

³⁶ If thy whole body therefore be full of light, hauing no part darke, the whole shalbe full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doeth giue thee light.

³⁷ ¶ And as he spake, a certaine Pharise besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sate downe to meate.

³⁸ And when the Pharise saw it, he marueiled that he had not first washed before dinner.

³⁹ And the Lord said vnto him, Now doe ye Pharises make cleane the outside of the cup and the platter: but your inward part is full of rauening and wickednesse.³⁹

⁴⁰ Yee fooles, did not he that made that which is without, make that which is within also?

⁴¹ But rather giue almes of such things as you haue: and behold, all things are cleane vnto you.⁴¹

⁴² But woe vnto you Pharises: for ye tythe Mint and Rue, and all maner of herbes, and passe ouer iudgement, and the loue of God: these ought yee to haue done, and not to leaue the other vndone.

⁴³ Woe vnto you Pharisees: for ye loue the vppermost seats in the Synagogues, and greetings in the markets.⁴³

⁴⁴ Woe vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye are as graues which appeare not, and the men that walk ouer them, are not aware of them.

⁴⁵ ¶ Then answered one of the Lawyers, and said vnto him, Master, thus saying, thou reprochest vs also.

⁴⁶ And he said, Woe vnto you also ye lawyers: for ye lade men with burdens grieuous to be borne, and ye your selues touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.⁴⁶

⁴⁷ Woe vnto you: for ye build the sepulchres of the Prophets, and your fathers killed them.⁴⁷

⁴⁸ Truely ye beare witnesse that ye allowe the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and yee build their sepulchres.

⁴⁹ Therefore also said the wisedome of God, I wil send them Prophets and Apostles, and some of them they shal slay and persecute:

⁵⁰ That the blood of all the Prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,

⁵¹ From the blood of Abel vnto the blood of Zacharias, which perished betweene the Altar and the Temple: Uerely I say vnto you, it shall be required of this generation.⁵¹

⁵² Woe vnto you Lawyers: for ye haue taken away the key of knowledge: ye entred not in your selues, and them that were entring in, ye hindred.⁵²

⁵³ And as he said these things vnto them, the Scribes and the Pharisees began to vrge him vehemently, and to prouoke him to speake of many things:

⁵⁴ Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
