Luke 11:2–9

2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:

“ ‘Father,a

hallowed be your name,

your kingdomf come.b

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

4 Forgive us our sins,

for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.c g

And lead us not into temptation.d’ ”h

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread; 6 a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’ 7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’ 8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacitye he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.i

9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you;j seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
