11 Dhe ndodhi që ai ndodhej në një vend dhe lutej dhe, si mbaroi, një nga dishepujt e tij i tha: “Zot, na mëso të lutemi, ashtu siç i mësoi Gjoni dishepujt e vet.”
2 Dhe ai u tha: “Kur të luteni, thoni: "Ati ynë që je në qiej, u shenjtëroftë emri yt, ardhtë mbretëria jote, u bëftë vullneti yt si në qiell edhe në tokë.
3 Na jep çdo ditë bukën tonë të nevojshme.
4 Dhe na i fal mëkatet tona, sepse edhe ne i falim fajtorët tanë; dhe mos lejo të biem në tundim, por na shpëto nga i ligu".”
5 Pastaj u tha atyre: “A ka midis jush njeri që ka një mik dhe i shkon në mesnatë e i thotë: "Mik, më jep hua tri bukë,
6 sepse më erdhi nga udha një miku im dhe unë s’kam çfarë t’i vë përpara";
7 dhe ai, nga brenda, duke u përgjigjur, i tha: "Mos më bezdis, dera është tashmë e mbyllur dhe fëmijët e mi ranë në shtrat me mua; nuk mund të çohem e të t’i jap"?
8 Unë po ju them se, edhe nëse nuk çohet t’ia japë sepse e ka mik, do të çohet gjithsesi për shkak të insistimit të tij dhe do t’i japë të gjitha bukët që i nevojiten.
9 Prandaj po ju them: Lypni dhe do t’ju jepet; kërkoni dhe do të gjeni; trokitni dhe do t’ju hapet.
10 Sepse kushdo që lyp, merr, kush kërkon, gjen dhe do t’i hapet atij që troket.
11 Dhe cili nga ju është baba i tillë që, po t’i kërkojë bukë djali, i jep një gur? Ose po t’i kërkojë një peshk, në vend të peshkut i jep një gjarpër?
12 Ose, po t’i kërkojë një vezë, i jep një akrep?
13 Nëse ju, pra, që jeni të këqij, dini t’u jepni dhurata të mira bijve tuaj, aq më tepër Ati juaj qiellor do t’u dhurojë Frymën e Shenjtë atyre që ia kërkojnë.”
14 Dhe Jezusi po dëbonte një demon që ishte memec; dhe ndodhi që, kur demoni doli, memeci foli dhe turmat u mrekulluan.
15 Por disa nga ata thanë: “Ai i dëbon demonët nëpërmjet Beelzebubit, princit të demonëve.”
16 Kurse disa nga ata, për ta vënë në provë, kërkonin prej tij një shenjë nga qielli.
17 Por ai, duke i njohur mendimet e tyre, u tha atyre: “Çdo mbretëri, e përçarë në vetvete shkatërrohet, dhe çdo shtëpi e përçarë në vetvete rrëzohet.
18 Po të jetë, pra, edhe Satanai i përçarë në vetvete, si do të mund të qëndrojë mbretëria e tij? Sepse ju thoni se unë i dëboj demonët nëpërmjet Beelzebubit.
19 Por, nëse unë i dëbokam demonët nëpërmjet Beelzebubit, nëpërmjet kujt i dëbojnë ata bijtë tuaj? Prandaj ata do të jenë gjykatësit tuaj.
20 Por në se unë i dëboj demonët me gishtin e Perëndisë, mbretëria e Perëndisë, pra ka arritur deri te ju.
21 Kur burri i fortë, i armatosur mirë, e ruan shtëpinë e vet, pasuria e tij është në paqe.
22 Por në qoftë se vjen një më i fortë se ai dhe e mund atë, ia merr armët në të cilat kishte shpresë dhe i ndan plaçkat e tij.
23 Kush nuk është me mua, është kundër meje dhe kush nuk mbledh me mua, shpërndan.
24 Kur fryma e ndyrë del nga një njeri, endet në vende të shkreta, duke kërkuar pushim, dhe duke mos e gjetur dot, thotë: "Do të kthehem në shtëpinë time nga dola".
25 Dhe, kur kthehet, e gjen të fshirë e të zbukuruar,
26 atëherë shkon e merr me vete shtatë frymëra të tjerë më të këqij se ai, dha ata hyjnë aty dhe banojnë aty; dhe gjendja e fundit e atij njeriu bëhet më e keqe se e para.”
27 Ndodhi që, ndërsa ai po thoshte këto gjëra, një grua nga turma e çoi zërin e saj dhe i tha: “Lum barku që të barti dhe gjinjtë që të mëndën.”
28 Por ai u tha: “Me tepër lum ata që e dëgjojnë fjalën e Perëndisë dhe e zbatojnë.”
29 Duke qenë se turmat po i shtyheshin përreth, ai filloi të thotë: “Ky brez është i lig; ai kërkon nje shenjë, por asnjë shenjë nuk do t’i jepet, përveç shenjës së profetit Jona.
30 Sepse, ashtu si Jona qe një shenjë për Ninivasit, kështu edhe Biri i njeriut do të jetë një shenjë për këtë brez.
31 Mbretëresha e Mesditës do të ngrihet ditën e gjyqit me njerëzit e këtij brezi dhe do t’i dënojë, sepse ajo po vjen nga skaji i dheut për të dëgjuar urtësinë e Salomonit; dhe ja, këtu është dikush më i madh se Salomoni.
32 Ninivasit, ditën e gjyqit, do të ringjallen me këtë brez dhe do ta dënojnë, sepse ata u penduan për predikimin e Jonas; dhe ja, këtu është dikush më i madh se Jona.”
33 Asnjëri, kur ndez një llambë, nuk e vë në një vend të fshehtë ose nën babunë, po përmbi dritëmbajtësen, që të shohin dritë ata që hyjnë.
34 Llamba e trupit është syri; në se syri yt është i shëndoshë, gjithë trupi yt do të jetë i ndriçuar; por në se syri yt është i sëmurë, edhe gjithë trupi yt do të jetë plot me errësirë.
35 Prandaj trego kujdes që drita që është në ty të mos jetë terr.
36 Në se gjithë trupi yt është i ndriçuar, pa asnjë pjesë të errët, gjithçka do të jetë e ndriçuar, sikurse ndodh kur llamba të ndriçon me shkëlqimin e saj.”
37 Por ndërsa Jezusi po fliste, një farise e ftoi për drekë në shtëpinë e vet. Dhe ai hyri dhe u vendos në tryezë.
38 Fariseu e vuri re këtë dhe u mrekullua që Jezusit nuk lau para buke.
39 Dhe Zoti i tha: “Tani ju farisenjtë pastroni të jashtmen e kupës dhe të pjatës, ndërsa brendinë tuaj e keni plot me grabitje dhe ligësi.
40 Të pamend! Ai që bëri anën e jashtme, vallë nuk bëri edhe të brendshmen?
41 Por jepni si lëmoshë atë që është përbrenda, dhe çdo gjë do të jetë e pastër për ju.
42 Por mjerë ju, o farisenj! Sepse ju paguani të dhjetën e ryzës, të mendrës dhe të çdo barishteje, dhe pastaj lini pas dore drejtësinë dhe dashurinë e Perëndisë. Këto gjëra duhet t’i bënit, pa i lënë pas dore të tjerat.
43 Mjerë ju, o farisenj! Sepse ju e doni vendin e parë ndër sinagoga dhe përshëndetjet nëpër sheshe.
44 Mjerë ju, skribë dhe farisenj hipokritë! Sepse jeni si varret që nuk shihen dhe njërëzit ecin sipër tyre, pa e ditur.”
45 Atëherë, duke u përgjigjur, një nga mësuesit e ligjit, i tha: “Mësues, duke folur kështu, ti po na fyen edhe ne.”
46 Dhe ai thoshte: “Mjerë edhe ju, o mësues të ligjit! Sepse i ngarkoni njerëzit me barrë që me vështirësi baren, dhe ju nuk i prekni ato barrë as edhe me një gisht.
47 Mjerë ju! Sepse ju ndërtuat varret e profetëve dhe etërit tuaj i patën vrarë ata.
48 Duke vepruar në këtë mënyrë, ju dëshmoni se i miratoni veprat e etërve tuaj; në fakt ata vranë profetët dhe ju ndërtoni varret e tyre.
49 Për këtë arsye edhe urtësia e Perëndisë tha: "Unë do t’u dërgoj profetë dhe apostuj, dhe ata do të vrasin disa prej tyre kurse të tjerët do t’i përndjekin,"
50 me qëllim që këtij brezi t’i kërkohet llogari për gjakun e të gjithë profetëve, i cili u derdh që nga krijimi i botës:
51 nga gjaku i Abelit deri te gjaku i Zakarias, që u vra ndërmjet altarit dhe tempullit; po, unë po ju them, se këtij brezi do t’i kërkohet llogari.
52 Mjerë ju, o mësues të ligjit! Sepse ju e morët çelësin e dijes; ju vetë nuk hytë dhe penguat hyrjen e atyre që po hynin.”
53 Po ndërsa ai u fliste atyre këto gjëra, skribët dhe farisenjtë filluan të zemërohen shumë kundër tij dhe ta sulmojnë atë me shumë pyetje,
54 për t’i ngritur kurthe, për ta zënë në gabim e për të mundur ta akuzojnë për ndonjë fjalë të tij.

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer(A)(B)
11 One day Jesus was praying(C) in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord,(D) teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:
“‘Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom(E) 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](F)
And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”(G)
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 audacity[e] he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.(H)
9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you;(I) seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Jesus and Beelzebul(J)(K)
14 Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been mute spoke, and the crowd was amazed.(L) 15 But some of them said, “By Beelzebul,(M) the prince of demons, he is driving out demons.”(N) 16 Others tested him by asking for a sign from heaven.(O)
17 Jesus knew their thoughts(P) and said to them: “Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. 18 If Satan(Q) is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebul. 19 Now if I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your followers drive them out? So then, they will be your judges. 20 But if I drive out demons by the finger of God,(R) then the kingdom of God(S) has come upon you.
21 “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. 22 But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up his plunder.
23 “Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever does not gather with me scatters.(T)
24 “When an impure spirit comes out of a person, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, ‘I will return to the house I left.’ 25 When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. 26 Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that person is worse than the first.”(U)
27 As Jesus was saying these things, a woman in the crowd called out, “Blessed is the mother who gave you birth and nursed you.”(V)
28 He replied, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God(W) and obey it.”(X)
The Sign of Jonah(Y)
29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign,(Z) but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.(AA) 30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation. 31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the people of this generation and condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom;(AB) and now something greater than Solomon is here. 32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah;(AC) and now something greater than Jonah is here.
The Lamp of the Body(AD)
33 “No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.(AE) 34 Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy,[g] your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy,[h] your body also is full of darkness. 35 See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. 36 Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”
Woes on the Pharisees and the Experts in the Law
37 When Jesus had finished speaking, a Pharisee invited him to eat with him; so he went in and reclined at the table.(AF) 38 But the Pharisee was surprised when he noticed that Jesus did not first wash before the meal.(AG)
39 Then the Lord(AH) said to him, “Now then, you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness.(AI) 40 You foolish people!(AJ) Did not the one who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But now as for what is inside you—be generous to the poor,(AK) and everything will be clean for you.(AL)
42 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth(AM) of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.(AN) You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.(AO)
43 “Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.(AP)
44 “Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves,(AQ) which people walk over without knowing it.”
45 One of the experts in the law(AR) answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.”
46 Jesus replied, “And you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.(AS)
47 “Woe to you, because you build tombs for the prophets, and it was your ancestors who killed them. 48 So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.(AT) 49 Because of this, God in his wisdom(AU) said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and others they will persecute.’(AV) 50 Therefore this generation will be held responsible for the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the beginning of the world, 51 from the blood of Abel(AW) to the blood of Zechariah,(AX) who was killed between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, this generation will be held responsible for it all.(AY)
52 “Woe to you experts in the law, because you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”(AZ)
53 When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, 54 waiting to catch him in something he might say.(BA)

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 through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
27 And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.
32 The men of Nineve shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.
33 No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
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 evil, thy body also is full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore be full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.
37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat.
38 And when the Pharisee saw it, he marvelled that he had not first washed before dinner.
39 And the Lord said unto him, Now do ye Pharisees make clean the outside of the cup and the platter; but your inward part is full of ravening and wickedness.
40 Ye fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?
41 But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.
42 But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.
44 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.
45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
46 And he said, Woe unto you also, ye lawyers! for ye lade men with burdens grievous to be borne, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.
47 Woe unto you! for ye build the sepulchres of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.
48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres.
49 Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall 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 unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
53 And as he said these things unto them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to urge him vehemently, and to provoke him to speak of many things:
54 Laying wait for him, and seeking to catch something out of his mouth, that they might accuse him.
