Luke 11:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 11:5

For we also forgive everyone who is indebted to us.
And do not lead us into temptation,
¹But deliver us from the evil one.”

A Friend Comes at Midnight

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

6 for a friend of mine has come to me on his journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;

7 and he will answer from within and say, ‘Do not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give to you’?

8 I say to you, ^athough he will not rise and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will rise and give him as many as he needs.
