Luke 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:6

For a friend of mine in his journey
Or "out of the way"; having lost his way, being benighted; and has rambled about for some time, and at length,

is come to me;
for lodging and entertainment:

and I have nothing to set before him;
to refresh him with, after such a fatigue, before he goes to bed, which was very requisite and proper.

Luke 11:6 In-Context

4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who has wronged us. And don't lead us into temptation.'"

5 He also said to them, “Imagine that one of you has a friend and you go to that friend in the middle of the night. Imagine saying, ‘Friend, loan me three loaves of bread

6 because a friend of mine on a journey has arrived and I have nothing to set before him.'

7 Imagine further that he answers from within the house, ‘Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can't get up to give you anything.'

8 I assure you, even if he wouldn't get up and help because of his friendship, he will get up and give his friend whatever he needs because of his friend's brashness.
