Lucas 11:13

Listen to Lucas 11:13
13 Se vós, pois, sendo maus, sabeis dar boas dádivas aos vossos filhos, quanto mais dará o Pai celestial o Espírito Santo �queles que lho pedirem?

Lucas 11:13 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 11:13

If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto
your children (See Gill on Matthew 7:11).

How much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to
them that ask him?
instead of the Holy Spirit here, the Vulgate Latin version reads, "good Spirit", and so two copies of Beza's; and the Ethiopic version, "the good gift of the Holy Spirit"; and doubtless intends the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit, in distinction from, and as preferable to the good things given by earthly parents, to their children.

11 E qual o pai dentre vós que, se o filho lhe pedir pão, lhe dará uma pedra? Ou, se lhe pedir peixe, lhe dará por peixe uma serpente?
12 Ou, se pedir um ovo, lhe dará um escorpião?
13 Se vós, pois, sendo maus, sabeis dar boas dádivas aos vossos filhos, quanto mais dará o Pai celestial o Espírito Santo �queles que lho pedirem?
14 Estava Jesus expulsando um demônio, que era mudo; e aconteceu que, saindo o demônio, o mudo falou; e as multidões se admiraram.
15 Mas alguns deles disseram: É por Belzebu, o príncipe dos demônios, que ele expulsa os demônios.
