Luke 11:5-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ Then He said to them, “^[a]Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves; ⁶ for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’; ⁷ and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children ^[b]and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’ ⁸ I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet ^(A)because of his ^[c]persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
