Luke 11:6

6 because a friend of mine who has been travelling has just arrived at my house, and I have nothing for him to eat.'

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 too forgive everyone who has wronged us. And do not lead us to hard testing.'"

5 He also said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend; and you go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, `Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6 because a friend of mine who has been travelling has just arrived at my house, and I have nothing for him to eat.'

7 Now the one inside may answer, `Don't bother me! The door is already shut, my children are with me in bed -- I can't get up to give you anything!'

8 But I tell you, even if he won't get up because the man is his friend, yet because of the man's hutzpah he will get up and give him as much as he needs.
