Luke 11:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ A friend of mine on a trip has dropped in on me, and I don’t have anything to serve him.’ ⁷ Suppose he answers from inside, ‘Stop bothering me! The door is already locked, and my children are here with us in the bedroom.^[a] I can’t get up and give you anything!’ ⁸ I tell you, even though that man^[b] doesn’t want to get up and give him anything because he is his friend, he will get up and give him whatever he needs because of his persistence.
