Luke 11:13

13 Therefore if ye, when ye be evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more your Father of heaven shall give a good Spirit to men that ask him.

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 Therefore who of you asketh his father bread, whether he shall give him a stone? or if he asketh fish, whether he shall give him a serpent for the fish?

12 or if he asketh an egg [or if he shall ask an egg], whether he shall areach him a scorpion?

13 Therefore if ye, when ye be evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more your Father of heaven shall give a good Spirit to men that ask him.

14 And Jesus was casting out a fiend [And he was casting out a fiend], and it was dumb. And when he had cast out the fiend, the dumb man spake; and the people wondered.

15 And some of them said, In Beelzebub, prince of devils, he casteth out devils.
