Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.
40
But Martha was cumbered about much serving, and came to him,
and said, Lord, dost thou not care that my sister hath left me to serve alone? bid her therefore that
she help me.
41
And Jesus answered and said unto her,
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled
about many things:
42
But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall
not be taken away from her.
CHAPTER 11
And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples
said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
2
And he said unto them,
When ye pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
3
Give us day by day our daily bread.
4
And forgive
us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
5
And he said unto them,
Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go
unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;
6
For a friend of mine in his
journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?
7
And he from within shall answer
and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise
and give thee.
8
I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet
because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.
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 every one 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 shall ask an egg, will he offer him
a scorpion?
13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much
more shall
your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14
And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was
gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.
15
But some of them said, He casteth out devils
through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.
16
And others, tempting
him,
sought of him a sign from
heaven.
17
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them,
Every kingdom divided against itself is
brought to desolation; and a house
divided
against a house falleth.
18
If Satan also be divided against
himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
19
And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast
them
out? therefore shall they
be your judges.
20
But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is
come upon you.
21
When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:
22
But
when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour
wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.
23
He that is not with me is against me: and he that
gathereth not with me scattereth.
24
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh
