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 ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.'"

5 He said to them, "Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight, and tell him, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,'

7 and he from within will answer and say, 'Don't bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give it to you'?

8 I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.
