Luke 11:4-27

⁴And forgeve vs oure synnes: For even we forgeve every man that treaspaseth vs. And ledde vs not into temptacion. But deliver vs from evill.

⁵And he sayde vnto them: if any of you shuld have a frede and shuld goo to him at mid nyght and saye vnto him: frende lende me thre loves

⁶for a frende of myne is come out of the waye to me and I have nothinge to set before him:

⁷and he within shuld answere and saye trouble me not the dore is now sheet and my servautes are with me in the chamber I cannot ryse and geve them to the.

⁸I saye vnto you though he wold not aryse and geve him because he is his frede: yet because of his importunite he wold rise and geve him as many as he neded.

⁹And I saye vnto you: axe and it shalbe geven you. Seke and ye shall fynde. knocke and it shalbe opened vnto you.

¹⁰For every one that axeth receaveth: and he that seketh fyndeth: and to him that knocketh shall it be openned.

¹¹Yf the sonne shall axe breed of eny of you that is a father: wyll he geve him a stone? Or yf he axe fisshe wyll he for a fysshe geve him a serpent?

¹²Or yf he axe an egge: wyll he offer him a scorpion?

¹³Yf ye then which are evyll canne geve good giftes vnto youre chyldren how moche more shall the father of heaven geve an holy sprete to them that desyre it of him?

¹⁴And he was a castynge out a devyll which was dome. And it folowed when the devyll was gone out the domme spake and the people wondred.

¹⁵But some of the sayde: he casteth out devyls by the power of Belzebub the chefe of the devyls.

¹⁶And other tempted him sekinge of him a signe from heaven.

¹⁷But he knewe their thoughtes and sayde vnto them: Every kingdome devided with in it silfe shalbe desolate: and one housse shall fall vpon another.

¹⁸So if Satan be devided with in him silfe: how shall his kyngdome endure? Because ye saye that I cast out devyls by the power of Belzebub.

¹⁹Yf I by the power of Belzebub caste oute devyls: by whome do youre chyldren cast them out? Therfore shall they be youre iudges.

²⁰But if I with the finger of God cast out devyls noo doute the kyngdome of God is come vpon you.

²¹When a stronge man armed watcheth his housse: that he possesseth is in peace.

²²But when a stronger then he cometh vpo him and overcometh him: he taketh from him his harnes wherin he trusted and devideth his gooddes.

²³He that is not with me is agaynst me. And he that gadereth not with me scattereth.

²⁴When the vnclene sprete is gone out of a man he walketh through waterlesse places sekinge reest. And when he fyndeth none he sayeth: I will returne agayne vnto my housse whence I came out.

²⁵And when he cometh he fyndeth it swept and garnissed.

²⁶Then goeth he and taketh to him seve other spretes worsse then himsilfe: and they enter in and dwell there. And the ende of that man is worsse then the begynninge.

²⁷And it fortuned as he spake those thinges a certayne woman of the company lyfte vp her voyce and sayde vnto him: Happy is the wombe that bare the and the pappes which gave the sucke.
