Luke 11:6

6 A friend of mine on a trip has dropped in on me, and I don't have anything to serve him.'

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 as we forgive everyone else. Don't allow us to be tempted."

5 Jesus said to his disciples, "Suppose one of you has a friend. Suppose you go to him at midnight and say, 'Friend, let me borrow three loaves of bread.

6 A friend of mine on a trip has dropped in on me, and I don't have anything to serve him.'

7 Your friend might answer you from inside his house, 'Don't bother me! The door is already locked, and my children are in bed. I can't get up to give you anything.'

8 I can guarantee that although he doesn't want to get up to give you anything, he will get up and give you whatever you need because he is your friend and because you were so bold.
