Luke 11:9-19

9 And I say unto you, Ask , and it shall be given you; seek , and ye shall find ; knock , and it shall be opened unto you.

10 For every one that asketh receiveth ; and he that seeketh findeth ; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened .

11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father *, will he give * him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give * him a serpent?

12 Or * if he shall ask an egg, will he offer * him a scorpion?

13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father * give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass , when the devil was gone out , the dumb spake ; and the people wondered .

15 But some of them said , He casteth out devils through Beelzebub the chief of the devils.

16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven.

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation ; and a house divided against a house falleth .

18 If * Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand ? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.

19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out ? therefore shall they be your judges.
