Luke 11:1-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

11 And it came to pass, that as he was in a certain place praying, when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him: Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.

² And he said to them: When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come.

³ Give us this 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.

⁵ And he said to them: Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves,

⁶ Because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me, and I have not what to set before him.

⁷ And he from 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 thee.

⁸ Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although 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 to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

¹⁰ For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
