ΚΑΤΑ ΛΟΥΚΑΝ |
Luke |
Reference |
| κἀγὼ ὑμῖν λέγω, αἰτεῖτε, καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν· ζητεῖτε, καὶ εὑρήσετε· κρούετε, καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν. |
And I tell you, Ask, and it will be given you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. | |
| πᾶς γὰρ ὁ αἰτῶν λαμβάνει, καὶ ὁ ζητῶν εὑρίσκει, καὶ τῷ κρούοντι ἀνοιγ[ής]εται. |
For every one who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. | |
| τίνα δὲ ἐξ ὑμῶν τὸν πατέρα αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς ἰχθύν, καὶ ἀντὶ ἰχθύος ὀφιν αὐτῷ ἐπιδώσε; |
What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent; | |
| ἢ καὶ αἰτήσει ᾠόν, ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ σκορπίον; |
or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? | |
| εἰ οὖν ὑμεῖς πονηροὶ ὑπάρχοντες οἰδατε δόματα ἀγαθὰ διδόναι τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, πόσῳ μᾶλλον ὁ πατὴρ [ὁ] ἐξ οὐρανοῦ δώσει Πνεῦμα ἀγιον τοῖς αἰτοῦσιν αὐτόν. |
If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" | |
