Luke 11:13

Listen to Luke 11:13
13 si ergo vos cum sitis mali nostis bona data dare filiis vestris quanto magis Pater vester de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se

Luke 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.

Luke 11:13 In-Context

11 quis autem ex vobis patrem petet panem numquid lapidem dabit illi aut piscem numquid pro pisce serpentem dabit illi
12 aut si petierit ovum numquid porriget illi scorpionem
13 si ergo vos cum sitis mali nostis bona data dare filiis vestris quanto magis Pater vester de caelo dabit spiritum bonum petentibus se
14 et erat eiciens daemonium et illud erat mutum et cum eiecisset daemonium locutus est mutus et admiratae sunt turbae
15 quidam autem ex eis dixerunt in Beelzebub principe daemoniorum eicit daemonia
