because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.’

Luke 11:6 · BSB

Luke 11:6 in context

The verses around it, from Luke 11.

2 So Jesus told them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

4 And forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.’”

5 Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose one of you goes to his friend at midnight and says, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

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

7 And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Do not bother me. My door is already shut, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up to give you anything.’

8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
