WEB·Luke 12

¹Meanwhile, when a multitude of many thousands had gathered together, so much so that they trampled on each other, he began to tell his disciples first of all, “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

KJVIn^G1722 the mean time^G3739, when there were gathered together^G1996^(G5685) an innumerable multitude^G3461 of people^G3793, insomuch that^G5620 they trode^G2662^(G5721) one upon another^G240, he began^G756^(G5662) to say^G3004^(G5721) unto^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101 first of all^G4412, Beware^G4337^(G5720) ye^G1438 of^G575 the leaven^G2219 of the Pharisees^G5330, which^G3748 is^G2076^(G5748) hypocrisy^G5272.

² But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known.

KJVFor^G1161 there is^G2076^(G5748) nothing^G3762 covered^G4780^(G5772), that^G3739 shall^G601 not^G3756 be revealed^G601^(G5701); neither^G2532 hid^G2927, that^G3739 shall^G1097 not^G3756 be known^G1097^(G5701).

³ Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

KJVTherefore^G473^G3739 whatsoever^G3745 ye have spoken^G2036^(G5627) in^G1722 darkness^G4653 shall be heard^G191^(G5701) in^G1722 the light^G5457; and^G2532 that which^G3739 ye have spoken^G2980^(G5656) in^G4314 the ear^G3775 in^G1722 closets^G5009 shall be proclaimed^G2784^(G5701) upon^G1909 the housetops^G1430.

⁴ “I tell you, my friends, don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

KJVAnd^G1161 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213 my^G3450 friends^G5384, Be^G5399 not^G3361 afraid^G5399^(G5676) of them^G575 that kill^G615^(G5723) the body^G4983, and^G2532 after^G3326 that^G5023 have^G2192^(G5723) no^G3361^G5100 more^G4055 that they can do^G4160^(G5658).

⁵ But I will warn you whom you should fear. Fear him who after he has killed, has power to cast into Gehenna. Yes, I tell you, fear him.

KJVBut^G1161 I will forewarn^G5263^(G5692) you^G5213 whom^G5101 ye shall fear^G5399^(G5680): Fear^G5399^(G5676) him, which after^G3326 he hath killed^G615^(G5658) hath^G2192^(G5723) power^G1849 to cast^G1685^(G5629) into^G1519 hell^G1067; yea^G3483, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Fear^G5399^(G5676) him^G5126.

⁶ “Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

KJVAre^G4453 not^G3780 five^G4002 sparrows^G4765 sold^G4453^(G5743) for two^G1417 farthings^G787, and^G2532 not^G3756 one^G1520 of^G1537 them^G846 is^G2076^(G5748) forgotten^G1950^(G5772) before^G1799 God^G2316?

⁷ But the very hairs of your head are all counted. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

KJVBut^G235 even the very^G2532 hairs^G2359 of your^G5216 head^G2776 are^G705 all^G3956 numbered^G705^(G5769). Fear^G5399^(G5737) not^G3361 therefore^G3767: ye are of more value^G1308^(G5719) than many^G4183 sparrows^G4765.

⁸ “I tell you, everyone who confesses me before men, the Son of Man will also confess before the angels of God;

KJVAlso^G1161 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Whosoever^G3956^G3739^G302 shall confess^G3670^(G5661)^G1722 me^G1698 before^G1715 men^G444,^G1722 him^G846 shall^G3670 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 also^G2532 confess^G3670^(G5692) before^G1715 the angels^G32 of God^G2316:

⁹ but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of God’s angels.

KJVBut^G1161 he that denieth^G720^(G5666) me^G3165 before^G1799 men^G444 shall be denied^G533^(G5701) before^G1799 the angels^G32 of God^G2316.

¹⁰ Everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but those who blaspheme against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3956^G3739 shall speak^G2046^(G5692) a word^G3056 against^G1519 the Son^G5207 of man^G444, it shall be forgiven^G863^(G5701) him^G846: but^G1161 unto him that blasphemeth^G987^(G5660) against^G1519 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 it shall^G863 not^G3756 be forgiven^G863^(G5701).

¹¹ When they bring you before the synagogues, the rulers, and the authorities, don’t be anxious how or what you will answer or what you will say;

KJVAnd^G1161 when^G3752 they bring^G4374^(G5725) you^G5209 unto^G1909 the synagogues^G4864, and^G2532 unto magistrates^G746, and^G2532 powers^G1849, take^G3309 ye no^G3361 thought^G3309^(G5720) how^G4459 or^G2228 what thing^G5101 ye shall answer^G626^(G5667), or^G2228 what^G5101 ye shall say^G2036^(G5632):

¹² for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that same hour what you must say.”

KJVFor^G1063 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 shall teach^G1321^(G5692) you^G5209 in^G1722 the same^G846 hour^G5610 what^G3739 ye ought^G1163^(G5748) to say^G2036^(G5629).

¹³ One of the multitude said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.”

KJVAnd^G1161 one^G5100 of^G1537 the company^G3793 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Master^G1320, speak^G2036^(G5628) to my^G3450 brother^G80, that he divide^G3307^(G5670) the inheritance^G2817 with^G3326 me^G1700.

¹⁴ But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or an arbitrator over you?”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Man^G444, who^G5101 made^G2525^(G5656) me^G3165 a judge^G1348 or^G2228 a divider^G3312 over^G1909 you^G5209?

¹⁵ He said to them, “Beware! Keep yourselves from covetousness, for a man’s life doesn’t consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses.”

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Take heed^G3708^(G5720), and^G2532 beware^G5442^(G5732) of^G575 covetousness^G4124: for^G3754 a man's^G5100^G846 life^G2222 consisteth^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 in^G1722 the abundance^G4052^(G5721) of^G1537 the things which he^G846 possesseth^G5224^(G5723).

¹⁶ He spoke a parable to them, saying, “The ground of a certain rich man produced abundantly.

KJVAnd^G1161 he spake^G2036^(G5627) a parable^G3850 unto^G4314 them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), The ground^G5561 of a certain^G5100 rich^G4145 man^G444 brought forth plentifully^G2164^(G5656):

¹⁷ He reasoned within himself, saying, ‘What will I do, because I don’t have room to store my crops?’

KJVAnd^G2532 he thought^G1260^(G5711) within^G1722 himself^G1438, saying^G3004^(G5723), What^G5101 shall I do^G4160^(G5661), because^G3754 I have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 room where^G4226 to bestow^G4863^(G5692) my^G3450 fruits^G2590?

¹⁸ He said, ‘This is what I will do. I will pull down my barns, build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627), This^G5124 will I do^G4160^(G5692): I will pull down^G2507^(G5692) my^G3450 barns^G596, and^G2532 build^G3618^(G5692) greater^G3187; and^G2532 there^G1563 will I bestow^G4863^(G5692) all^G3956 my^G3450 fruits^G1081 and^G2532 my^G3450 goods^G18.

¹⁹ I will tell my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”’

KJVAnd^G2532 I will say^G2046^(G5692) to my^G3450 soul^G5590, Soul^G5590, thou hast^G2192^(G5719) much^G4183 goods^G18 laid up^G2749^(G5740) for^G1519 many^G4183 years^G2094; take thine ease^G373^(G5732), eat^G5315^(G5628), drink^G4095^(G5628), and be merry^G2165^(G5744).

²⁰ “But God said to him, ‘You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared—whose will they be?’

KJVBut^G1161 God^G2316 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Thou fool^G878, this^G5026 night^G3571 thy^G4675 soul^G5590 shall be required^G523^(G5719) of^G575 thee^G4675: then^G1161 whose^G5101 shall those things be^G2071^(G5704), which^G3739 thou hast provided^G2090^(G5656)?

²¹ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”

KJVSo^G3779 is he that layeth up treasure^G2343^(G5723) for himself^G1438, and^G2532 is^G4147 not^G3361 rich^G4147^(G5723) toward^G1519 God^G2316.

²² He said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, nor yet for your body, what you will wear.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 his^G846 disciples^G3101, Therefore^G1223^G5124 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Take^G3309 no^G3361 thought^G3309^(G5720) for your^G5216 life^G5590, what^G5101 ye shall eat^G5315^(G5632); neither^G3366 for the body^G4983, what^G5101 ye shall put on^G1746^(G5672).

²³ Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

KJVThe life^G5590 is^G2076^(G5748) more^G4119 than meat^G5160, and^G2532 the body^G4983 is more than raiment^G1742.

²⁴ Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!

KJVConsider^G2657^(G5657) the ravens^G2876: for^G3754 they neither^G3756 sow^G4687^(G5719) nor^G3761 reap^G2325^(G5719); which^G3739 neither^G3756 have^G2076^(G5748) storehouse^G5009 nor^G3761 barn^G596; and^G2532 God^G2316 feedeth^G5142^(G5719) them^G846: how much^G4214 more^G3123 are^G1308 ye^G5210 better than^G1308^(G5719) the fowls^G4071?

²⁵ Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?

KJVAnd^G1161 which^G5101 of^G1537 you^G5216 with taking thought^G3309^(G5723) can^G1410^(G5736) add^G4369^(G5629) to^G1909 his^G846 stature^G2244 one^G1520 cubit^G4083?

²⁶ If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?

KJVIf^G1487 ye then^G3767 be^G1410 not^G3777 able to do^G1410^(G5736) that thing which is least^G1646, why^G5101 take ye thought^G3309^(G5719) for^G4012 the rest^G3062?

²⁷ Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

KJVConsider^G2657^(G5657) the lilies^G2918 how^G4459 they grow^G837^(G5719): they toil^G2872^(G5719) not^G3756, they spin^G3514^(G5719) not^G3761; and yet^G1161 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, that Solomon^G4672 in^G1722 all^G3956 his^G846 glory^G1391 was^G4016 not^G3761 arrayed^G4016^(G5639) like^G5613 one^G1520 of these^G5130.

²⁸ But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

KJVIf^G1487 then^G1161 God^G2316 so^G3779 clothe^G294^(G5719) the grass^G5528, which^G5607^(G5752) is to day^G4594 in^G1722 the field^G68, and^G2532 to morrow^G839 is cast^G906^(G5746) into^G1519 the oven^G2823; how much^G4214 more^G3123 will he clothe you^G5209, O ye of little faith^G3640?

²⁹ “Don’t seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious.

KJVAnd^G2532 seek^G2212^(G5720) not^G3361 ye^G5210 what^G5101 ye shall eat^G5315^(G5632), or^G2228 what^G5101 ye shall drink^G4095^(G5632),^G2532 neither^G3361 be ye of doubtful mind^G3349^(G5744).

³⁰ For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things.

KJVFor^G1063 all^G3956 these things^G5023 do^G1934 the nations^G1484 of the world^G2889 seek after^G1934^(G5719): and^G1161 your^G5216 Father^G3962 knoweth^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 ye have need^G5535^(G5719) of these things^G5130.

³¹ But seek God’s Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you.

KJVBut rather^G4133 seek ye^G2212^(G5720) the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316; and^G2532 all^G3956 these things^G5023 shall be added^G4369^(G5701) unto you^G5213.

³² “Don’t be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

KJVFear^G5399^(G5737) not^G3361, little^G3398 flock^G4168; for^G3754 it is^G2106 your^G5216 Father's^G3962 good pleasure^G2106^(G5656) to give^G1325^(G5629) you^G5213 the kingdom^G932.

³³ Sell what you have and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don’t grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn’t fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys.

KJVSell^G4453^(G5657) that ye^G5216 have^G5224^(G5723), and^G2532 give^G1325^(G5628) alms^G1654; provide^G4160^(G5657) yourselves^G1438 bags^G905 which wax^G3822 not^G3361 old^G3822^(G5746), a treasure^G2344 in^G1722 the heavens^G3772 that faileth not^G413, where^G3699 no^G3756 thief^G2812 approacheth^G1448^(G5719), neither^G3761 moth^G4597 corrupteth^G1311^(G5719).

³⁴ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

KJVFor^G1063 where^G3699 your^G5216 treasure^G2344 is^G2076^(G5748), there^G1563 will^G2071 your^G5216 heart^G2588 be^G2071^(G5704) also^G2532.

³⁵ “Let your waist be dressed and your lamps burning.

KJVLet^G2077 your^G5216 loins^G3751 be^G2077^(G5749) girded about^G4024^(G5772), and^G2532 your lights^G3088 burning^G2545^(G5746);

³⁶ Be like men watching for their lord when he returns from the wedding feast, that when he comes and knocks, they may immediately open to him.

KJVAnd^G2532 ye yourselves^G5210 like^G3664 unto men^G444 that wait^G4327^(G5740) for their^G1438 lord^G2962, when^G4219 he will return^G360^(G5692) from^G1537 the wedding^G1062; that^G2443 when he cometh^G2064^(G5631) and^G2532 knocketh^G2925^(G5660), they may open^G455^(G5661) unto him^G846 immediately^G2112.

³⁷ Blessed are those servants whom the lord will find watching when he comes. Most certainly I tell you that he will dress himself, make them recline, and will come and serve them.

KJVBlessed^G3107 are those^G1565 servants^G1401, whom^G3739 the lord^G2962 when he cometh^G2064^(G5631) shall find^G2147^(G5692) watching^G1127^(G5723): verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, that^G3754 he shall gird himself^G4024^(G5698), and^G2532 make^G347 them^G846 to sit down to meat^G347^(G5692), and^G2532 will come forth^G3928^(G5631) and serve^G1247^(G5692) them^G846.

³⁸ They will be blessed if he comes in the second or third watch and finds them so.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437 he shall come^G2064^(G5632) in^G1722 the second^G1208 watch^G5438, or^G2532 come^G2064^(G5632) in^G1722 the third^G5154 watch^G5438, and^G2532 find^G2147^(G5632) them so^G3779, blessed^G3107 are^G1526^(G5748) those^G1565 servants^G1401.

³⁹ But know this, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into.

KJVAnd^G1161 this^G5124 know^G1097^(G5720), that^G3754 if^G1487 the goodman of the house^G3617 had known^G1492^(G5715) what^G4169 hour^G5610 the thief^G2812 would come^G2064^(G5736),^G302 he would have watched^G1127^(G5656), and^G2532^G302 not^G3756 have suffered^G863^(G5656) his^G846 house^G3624 to be broken through^G1358^(G5650).

⁴⁰ Therefore be ready also, for the Son of Man is coming in an hour that you don’t expect him.”

KJVBe^G1096^(G5737) ye^G5210 therefore^G3767 ready^G2092 also^G2532: for^G3754^G3739 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 cometh^G2064^(G5736) at an hour^G5610 when ye think^G1380^(G5719) not^G3756.

⁴¹ Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or to everybody?”

KJVThen^G1161 Peter^G4074 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Lord^G2962, speakest thou^G3004^(G5719) this^G5026 parable^G3850 unto^G4314 us^G2248, or^G2228 even^G2532 to^G4314 all^G3956?

⁴² The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the right times?

KJVAnd^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036^(G5627), Who^G5101 then^G686 is^G2076^(G5748) that faithful^G4103 and^G2532 wise^G5429 steward^G3623, whom^G3739 his lord^G2962 shall make ruler^G2525^(G5692) over^G1909 his^G846 household^G2322, to give^G1325^(G5721) them their portion of meat^G4620 in^G1722 due season^G2540?

⁴³ Blessed is that servant whom his lord will find doing so when he comes.

KJVBlessed^G3107 is that^G1565 servant^G1401, whom^G3739 his^G846 lord^G2962 when he cometh^G2064^(G5631) shall find^G2147^(G5692) so^G3779 doing^G4160^(G5723).

⁴⁴ Truly I tell you that he will set him over all that he has.

KJVOf a truth^G230 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, that^G3754 he will make him^G846 ruler^G2525^(G5692) over^G1909 all^G3956 that he^G846 hath^G5224^(G5723).

⁴⁵ But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and to be drunken,

KJVBut and^G1161 if^G1437 that^G1565 servant^G1401 say^G2036^(G5632) in^G1722 his^G846 heart^G2588, My^G3450 lord^G2962 delayeth^G5549^(G5719) his coming^G2064^(G5738); and^G2532 shall begin^G756^(G5672) to beat^G5180^(G5721) the menservants^G3816 and^G2532 maidens^G3814, and^G5037 to eat^G2068^(G5721) and^G2532 drink^G4095^(G5721), and^G2532 to be drunken^G3182^(G5745);

⁴⁶ then the lord of that servant will come in a day when he isn’t expecting him and in an hour that he doesn’t know, and will cut him in two, and place his portion with the unfaithful.

KJVThe lord^G2962 of that^G1565 servant^G1401 will come^G2240^(G5692) in^G1722 a day^G2250 when^G3739 he looketh^G4328 not^G3756 for^G4328^(G5719) him, and^G2532 at^G1722 an hour^G5610 when^G3739 he is^G1097 not^G3756 aware^G1097^(G5719), and^G2532 will cut^G1371 him^G846 in sunder^G1371^(G5692), and^G2532 will appoint^G5087^(G5692) him his^G846 portion^G3313 with^G3326 the unbelievers^G571.

⁴⁷ That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes,

KJVAnd^G1161 that^G1565 servant^G1401, which^G3588 knew^G1097^(G5631) his^G1438 lord's^G2962 will^G2307, and^G2532 prepared^G2090^(G5660) not^G3361 himself, neither^G3366 did^G4160^(G5660) according^G4314 to his^G846 will^G2307, shall be beaten^G1194^(G5691) with many^G4183 stripes.

⁴⁸ but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes. To whomever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom much was entrusted, of him more will be asked.

KJVBut^G1161 he that knew^G1097^(G5631) not^G3361, and^G1161 did commit^G4160^(G5660) things worthy^G514 of stripes^G4127, shall be beaten^G1194^(G5691) with few^G3641 stripes. For^G1161 unto whomsoever^G3739^G3956 much^G4183 is given^G1325^(G5681), of^G3844 him^G846 shall be much^G4183 required^G2212^(G5701): and^G2532 to whom men^G3739 have committed^G3908^(G5639) much^G4183, of him^G846 they will ask^G154^(G5692) the more^G4055.

⁴⁹ “I came to throw fire on the earth. I wish it were already kindled.

KJVI am come^G2064^(G5627) to send^G906^(G5629) fire^G4442 on^G1519 the earth^G1093; and^G2532 what^G5101 will I^G2309^(G5719), if^G1487 it be^G381 already^G2235 kindled^G381^(G5681)?

⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!

KJVBut^G1161 I have^G2192^(G5719) a baptism^G908 to be baptized with^G907^(G5683); and^G2532 how^G4459 am I straitened^G4912^(G5743) till^G2193^G3739 it be accomplished^G5055^(G5686)!

⁵¹ Do you think that I have come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.

KJVSuppose ye^G1380^(G5719) that^G3754 I am come^G3854^(G5633) to give^G1325^(G5629) peace^G1515 on^G1722 earth^G1093? I tell^G3004^(G5719) you^G5213, Nay^G3780; but^G235 rather^G2228 division^G1267:

⁵² For from now on, there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.

KJVFor^G1063 from^G575 henceforth^G3568 there shall be^G2071^(G5704) five^G4002 in^G1722 one^G1520 house^G3624 divided^G1266^(G5772), three^G5140 against^G1909 two^G1417, and^G2532 two^G1417 against^G1909 three^G5140.

⁵³ They will be divided, father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against her mother; mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

KJVThe father^G3962 shall be divided^G1266^(G5701) against^G1909 the son^G5207, and^G2532 the son^G5207 against^G1909 the father^G3962; the mother^G3384 against^G1909 the daughter^G2364, and^G2532 the daughter^G2364 against^G1909 the mother^G3384; the mother in law^G3994 against^G1909 her^G846 daughter in law^G3565, and^G2532 the daughter in law^G3565 against^G1909 her^G846 mother in law^G3994.

⁵⁴ He said to the multitudes also, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it happens.

⁵⁶ You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but how is it that you don’t interpret this time?

KJVYe hypocrites^G5273, ye can^G1492^(G5758) discern^G1381^(G5721) the face^G4383 of the sky^G3772 and^G2532 of the earth^G1093; but^G1161 how is it^G4459 that ye do not^G3756 discern^G1381^(G5719) this^G5126 time^G2540?

⁵⁷ “Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

⁵⁸ For when you are going with your adversary before the magistrate, try diligently on the way to be released from him, lest perhaps he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.

KJVWhen^G5613^G1063 thou goest^G5217^(G5719) with^G3326 thine^G4675 adversary^G476 to^G1909 the magistrate^G758, as thou art in^G1722 the way^G3598, give^G1325^(G5628) diligence^G2039 that thou mayest be delivered^G525^(G5771) from^G575 him^G846; lest^G3379 he hale^G2694^(G5661) thee^G4571 to^G4314 the judge^G2923, and^G2532 the judge^G2923 deliver^G3860^(G5632) thee^G4571 to the officer^G4233, and^G2532 the officer^G4233 cast^G906^(G5725) thee^G4571 into^G1519 prison^G5438.

WEB·Luke 11

¹When he finished praying in a certain place, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John also taught his disciples.”

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), that, as^G1722 he^G846 was^G1511^(G5750) praying^G4336^(G5740) in^G1722 a certain^G5100 place^G5117, when^G5613 he ceased^G3973^(G5668), one^G5100 of his^G846 disciples^G3101 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Lord^G2962, teach^G1321^(G5657) us^G2248 to pray^G4336^(G5738), as^G2531 John^G2491 also^G2532 taught^G1321^(G5656) his^G846 disciples^G3101.

² He said to them, “When you pray, say, ‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, When^G3752 ye pray^G4336^(G5741), say^G3004^(G5720), Our^G2257 Father^G3962 which^G3588 art in^G1722 heaven^G3772, Hallowed be^G37^(G5682) thy^G4675 name^G3686. Thy^G4675 kingdom^G932 come^G2064^(G5628). Thy^G4675 will^G2307 be done^G1096^(G5676), as^G5613 in^G1722 heaven^G3772, so^G2532 in^G1909 earth^G1093.

³ Give us day by day our daily bread.

KJVGive^G1325^(G5720) us^G2254 day^G2596 by day^G2250 our^G2257 daily^G1967 bread^G740.

⁴ Forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’”

KJVAnd^G2532 forgive^G863^(G5628) us^G2254 our^G2257 sins^G266; for^G1063 we^G846 also^G2532 forgive^G863^(G5719) every one^G3956 that is indebted^G3784^(G5723) to us^G2254. And^G2532 lead^G1533^(G5661) us^G2248 not^G3361 into^G1519 temptation^G3986; but^G235 deliver^G4506^(G5663) us^G2248 from^G575 evil^G4190.

⁵ He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, Which^G5101 of^G1537 you^G5216 shall have^G2192^(G5692) a friend^G5384, and^G2532 shall go^G4198^(G5695) unto^G4314 him^G846 at midnight^G3317, and^G2532 say^G2036^(G5632) unto him^G846, Friend^G5384, lend^G5531^(G5657) me^G3427 three^G5140 loaves^G740;

⁶ for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’

KJVFor^G1894 a friend^G5384 of mine^G3450 in^G1537 his journey^G3598 is come^G3854^(G5633) to^G4314 me^G3165, and^G2532 I have^G2192^(G5719) nothing^G3756^G3739 to set before^G3908^(G5692) him^G846?

⁷ and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?

KJVAnd he^G2548 from within^G2081 shall answer^G611^(G5679) and say^G2036^(G5632), Trouble^G2873^G3930^(G5720) me^G3427 not^G3361: the door^G2374 is^G2808 now^G2235 shut^G2808^(G5769), and^G2532 my^G3450 children^G3813 are^G1526^(G5748) with^G3326 me^G1700 in^G1519 bed^G2845; I cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) rise^G450^(G5631) and give^G1325^(G5629) thee^G4671.

⁸ I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.

KJVI say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Though^G1499 he will^G1453 not^G3756 rise^G1453^(G5685) and give^G1325^(G5692) him^G846, because^G1223 he is^G1511^(G5750) his^G846 friend^G5384, yet^G1065 because^G1223 of his^G846 importunity^G335 he will rise^G450^(G5631) and give^G1325^(G5692) him^G846 as many as^G3745 he needeth^G5535^(G5719).

⁹ “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

KJVAnd^G2504 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Ask^G154^(G5720), and^G2532 it shall be given^G1325^(G5701) you^G5213; seek^G2212^(G5720), and^G2532 ye shall find^G2147^(G5692); knock^G2925^(G5720), and^G2532 it shall be opened^G455^(G5691) unto you^G5213.

¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

KJVFor^G1063 every one^G3956 that asketh^G154^(G5723) receiveth^G2983^(G5719); and^G2532 he that seeketh^G2212^(G5723) findeth^G2147^(G5719); and^G2532 to him that knocketh^G2925^(G5723) it shall be opened^G455^(G5691).

¹¹ “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he won’t give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?

KJVIf^G1161 a son^G5207 shall ask^G154^(G5692) bread^G740 of any of you^G5216 that is a father^G3962^G5101, will he give^G1929^(G5692)^G3361 him^G846 a stone^G3037? or^G1499 if he ask a fish^G2486, will he^G1929 for^G473 a fish^G2486 give^G1929^(G5692)^G3361 him^G846 a serpent^G3789?

¹² Or if he asks for an egg, he won’t give him a scorpion, will he?

KJVOr^G2228^G2532 if^G1437 he shall ask^G154^(G5661) an egg^G5609, will he offer^G3361^G1929^(G5692) him^G846 a scorpion^G4651?

¹³ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”

KJVIf^G1487 ye^G5210 then^G3767, being^G5225^(G5723) evil^G4190, know^G1492^(G5758) how to give^G1325^(G5721) good^G18 gifts^G1390 unto your^G5216 children^G5043: how much^G4214 more^G3123 shall^G1325 your heavenly^G3772 Father^G3962^G1537 give^G1325^(G5692) the Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 to them that ask^G154^(G5723) him^G846?

¹⁴ He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. When the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke; and the multitudes marveled.

KJVAnd^G2532 he was^G2258^(G5713) casting out^G1544^(G5723) a devil^G1140, and^G2532 it^G846 was^G2258^(G5713) dumb^G2974. And^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), when the devil^G1140 was gone out^G1831^(G5631), the dumb^G2974 spake^G2980^(G5656); and^G2532 the people^G3793 wondered^G2296^(G5656).

¹⁵ But some of them said, “He casts out demons by Beelzebul, the prince of the demons.”

KJVBut^G1161 some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846 said^G2036^(G5627), He casteth out^G1544^(G5719) devils^G1140 through^G1722 Beelzebub^G954 the chief^G758 of the devils^G1140.

¹⁶ Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven.

KJVAnd^G1161 others^G2087, tempting^G3985^(G5723) him, sought^G2212^(G5707) of^G3844 him^G846 a sign^G4592 from^G1537 heaven^G3772.

¹⁷ But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation. A house divided against itself falls.

KJVBut^G1161 he^G846, knowing^G1492^(G5761) their^G846 thoughts^G1270, said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Every^G3956 kingdom^G932 divided^G1266^(G5685) against^G1909 itself^G1438 is brought to desolation^G2049^(G5743); and^G2532 a house^G3624 divided against^G1909 a house^G3624 falleth^G4098^(G5719).

¹⁸ If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.

KJVIf^G1161^G1499 Satan^G4567 also^G1499 be divided^G1266^(G5681) against^G1909 himself^G1438, how^G4459 shall^G2476 his^G846 kingdom^G932 stand^G2476^(G5701)? because^G3754 ye say^G3004^(G5719) that I^G3165 cast out^G1544^(G5721) devils^G1140 through^G1722 Beelzebub^G954.

¹⁹ But if I cast out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges.

KJVAnd^G1161 if^G1487 I^G1473 by^G1722 Beelzebub^G954 cast out^G1544^(G5719) devils^G1140, by^G1722 whom^G5101 do^G1544 your^G5216 sons^G5207 cast them out^G1544^(G5719)? therefore^G1223^G5124 shall they^G846 be^G2071^(G5704) your^G5216 judges^G2923.

²⁰ But if I by God’s finger cast out demons, then God’s Kingdom has come to you.

KJVBut^G1161 if^G1487 I with^G1722 the finger^G1147 of God^G2316 cast out^G1544^(G5719) devils^G1140, no doubt^G686 the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316 is come^G5348^(G5656) upon^G1909 you^G5209.

²¹ “When the strong man, fully armed, guards his own dwelling, his goods are safe.

KJVWhen^G3752 a strong man^G2478 armed^G2528^(G5772) keepeth^G5442^(G5725) his^G833 palace^G1438, his^G846 goods^G5224^(G5723) are^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 peace^G1515:

²² But when someone stronger attacks him and overcomes him, he takes from him his whole armor in which he trusted, and divides his plunder.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G1875 a stronger^G2478 than he^G846 shall come upon him^G1904^(G5631), and overcome^G3528^(G5661) him^G846, he taketh^G142^(G5719) from him^G846 all his armour^G3833 wherein^G1909^G3739 he trusted^G3982^(G5714), and^G2532 divideth^G1239^(G5719) his^G846 spoils^G4661.

²³ “He who is not with me is against me. He who doesn’t gather with me scatters.

KJVHe that is^G5607^(G5752) not^G3361 with^G3326 me^G1700 is^G2076^(G5748) against^G2596 me^G1700: and^G2532 he that gathereth^G4863^(G5723) not^G3361 with^G3326 me^G1700 scattereth^G4650^(G5719).

²⁴ The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of the man, passes through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he says, ‘I will turn back to my house from which I came out.’

KJVWhen^G3752 the unclean^G169 spirit^G4151 is gone^G1831^(G5632) out of^G575 a man^G444, he walketh^G1330^(G5736) through^G1223 dry^G504 places^G5117, seeking^G2212^(G5723) rest^G372; and^G2532 finding^G2147^(G5723) none^G3361, he saith^G3004^(G5719), I will return^G5290^(G5692) unto^G1519 my^G3450 house^G3624 whence^G3606 I came out^G1831^(G5627).

²⁵ When he returns, he finds it swept and put in order.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he cometh^G2064^(G5631), he findeth^G2147^(G5719) it swept^G4563^(G5772) and^G2532 garnished^G2885^(G5772).

²⁶ Then he goes and takes seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they enter in and dwell there. The last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”

KJVThen^G5119 goeth he^G4198^(G5736), and^G2532 taketh^G3880^(G5719) to him seven^G2033 other^G2087 spirits^G4151 more wicked^G4191 than himself^G1438; and^G2532 they enter in^G1525^(G5631), and dwell^G2730^(G5719) there^G1563: and^G2532 the last^G2078 state of that^G1565 man^G444 is^G1096^(G5736) worse^G5501 than the first^G4413.

²⁷ It came to pass, as he said these things, a certain woman out of the multitude lifted up her voice and said to him, “Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which nursed you!”

KJVAnd^G1161 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), as^G1722 he^G846 spake^G3004^(G5721) these things^G5023, a certain^G5100 woman^G1135 of^G1537 the company^G3793 lifted up^G1869^(G5660) her voice^G5456, and said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Blessed^G3107 is the womb^G2836 that bare^G941^(G5660) thee^G4571, and^G2532 the paps^G3149 which^G3739 thou hast sucked^G2337^(G5656).

²⁸ But he said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God, and keep it.”

KJVBut^G1161 he^G846 said^G2036^(G5627), Yea rather^G3304, blessed^G3107 are they that hear^G191^(G5723) the word^G3056 of God^G2316, and^G2532 keep^G5442^(G5723) it^G846.

²⁹ When the multitudes were gathering together to him, he began to say, “This is an evil generation. It seeks after a sign. No sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah the prophet.

KJVAnd^G1161 when the people^G3793 were gathered thick together^G1865^(G5746), he began^G756^(G5662) to say^G3004^(G5721), This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) an evil^G4190 generation^G1074: they seek^G1934^(G5719) a sign^G4592; and^G2532 there shall^G1325 no^G3756 sign^G4592 be given^G1325^(G5701) it^G846, but^G1508 the sign^G4592 of Jonas^G2495 the prophet^G4396.

³⁰ For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so the Son of Man will also be to this generation.

KJVFor^G1063 as^G2531 Jonas^G2495 was^G1096^(G5633) a sign^G4592 unto the Ninevites^G3536, so^G3779 shall^G2071 also^G2532 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 be^G2071^(G5704) to this^G5026 generation^G1074.

³¹ The Queen of the South will rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation and will condemn them, for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, one greater than Solomon is here.

KJVThe queen^G938 of the south^G3558 shall rise up^G1453^(G5701) in^G1722 the judgment^G2920 with^G3326 the men^G435 of this^G5026 generation^G1074, and^G2532 condemn^G2632^(G5692) them^G846: for^G3754 she came^G2064^(G5627) from^G1537 the utmost parts^G4009 of the earth^G1093 to hear^G191^(G5658) the wisdom^G4678 of Solomon^G4672; and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), a greater than^G4119 Solomon^G4672 is here^G5602.

³² The men of Nineveh will stand up in the judgment with this generation, and will condemn it, for they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, one greater than Jonah is here.

KJVThe men^G435 of Nineve^G3535 shall rise up^G450^(G5698) in^G1722 the judgment^G2920 with^G3326 this^G5026 generation^G1074, and^G2532 shall condemn^G2632^(G5692) it^G846: for^G3754 they repented^G3340^(G5656) at^G1519 the preaching^G2782 of Jonas^G2495; and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), a greater than^G4119 Jonas^G2495 is here^G5602.

³³ “No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, that those who come in may see the light.

KJV^G1161 No man^G3762, when he hath lighted^G681^(G5660) a candle^G3088, putteth^G5087^(G5719) it in^G1519 a secret place^G2926, neither^G3761 under^G5259 a bushel^G3426, but^G235 on^G1909 a candlestick^G3087, that^G2443 they which^G3588 come in^G1531^(G5740) may see^G991^(G5725) the light^G5338.

³⁴ The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole body is also full of light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of darkness.

KJVThe light^G3088 of the body^G4983 is^G2076^(G5748) the eye^G3788: therefore^G3767 when^G1875 thine^G4675 eye^G3788 is^G5600^(G5753) single^G573, thy^G4675 whole^G3650 body^G4983 also^G2532 is^G2076^(G5748) full of light^G5460; but^G1161 when^G3752 thine eye is^G5600^(G5753) evil^G4190, thy^G4675 body^G4983 also^G2532 is full of darkness^G4652.

³⁵ Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.

KJVTake heed^G4648^(G5720) therefore^G3767 that the light^G5457 which^G3588 is in^G1722 thee^G4671 be^G2076^(G5748) not^G3361 darkness^G4655.

³⁶ If therefore your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly full of light, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light.”

KJVIf^G1487 thy^G4675 whole^G3650 body^G4983 therefore^G3767 be full of light^G5460, having^G2192^(G5723) no^G3361^G5100 part^G3313 dark^G4652, the whole^G3650 shall be^G2071^(G5704) full of light^G5460, as^G5613 when^G3752 the bright shining^G796 of a candle^G3088 doth give^G5461 thee^G4571 light^G5461^(G5725).

³⁷ Now as he spoke, a certain Pharisee asked him to dine with him. He went in and sat at the table.

KJVAnd^G1161 as^G1722 he spake^G2980^(G5658), a certain^G5100 Pharisee^G5330 besought^G2065^(G5707) him^G846 to^G3704 dine^G709^(G5661) with^G3844 him^G846: and^G1161 he went in^G1525^(G5631), and sat down to meat^G377^(G5627).

³⁸ When the Pharisee saw it, he marveled that he had not first washed himself before dinner.

KJVAnd^G1161 when the Pharisee^G5330 saw^G1492^(G5631) it, he marvelled^G2296^(G5656) that^G3754 he had^G907 not^G3756 first^G4412 washed^G907^(G5681) before^G4253 dinner^G712.

³⁹ The Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the platter, but your inward part is full of extortion and wickedness.

KJVAnd^G1161 the Lord^G2962 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Now^G3568 do^G2511 ye^G5210 Pharisees^G5330 make clean^G2511^(G5719) the outside^G1855 of the cup^G4221 and^G2532 the platter^G4094; but^G1161 your^G5216 inward part^G2081 is full^G1073^(G5719) of ravening^G724 and^G2532 wickedness^G4189.

⁴⁰ You foolish ones, didn’t he who made the outside make the inside also?

KJVYe fools^G878, did^G4160 not^G3756 he that made^G4160^(G5660) that which^G3588 is without^G1855 make^G4160^(G5656) that which^G3588 is within^G2081 also^G2532?

⁴¹ But give for gifts to the needy those things which are within, and behold, all things will be clean to you.

KJVBut rather^G4133 give^G1325^(G5628) alms^G1654 of such things as ye have^G1751^(G5752); and^G2532, behold^G2400^(G5628), all things^G3956 are^G2076^(G5748) clean^G2513 unto you^G5213.

⁴² But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, but you bypass justice and God’s love. You ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.

KJVBut^G235 woe^G3759 unto you^G5213, Pharisees^G5330! for^G3754 ye tithe^G586^(G5719) mint^G2238 and^G2532 rue^G4076 and^G2532 all manner^G3956 of herbs^G3001, and^G2532 pass over^G3928^(G5736) judgment^G2920 and^G2532 the love^G26 of God^G2316: these^G5023 ought ye^G1163^(G5713) to have done^G4160^(G5658), and not^G3361 to leave^G863 the other^G2548 undone^G863^(G5721).

⁴³ Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seats in the synagogues and the greetings in the marketplaces.

KJVWoe^G3759 unto you^G5213, Pharisees^G5330! for^G3754 ye love^G25^(G5719) the uppermost seats^G4410 in^G1722 the synagogues^G4864, and^G2532 greetings^G783 in^G1722 the markets^G58.

⁴⁴ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like hidden graves, and the men who walk over them don’t know it.”

KJVWoe^G3759 unto you^G5213, scribes^G1122 and^G2532 Pharisees^G5330, hypocrites^G5273! for^G3754 ye are^G2075^(G5748) as^G5613 graves^G3419 which^G3588 appear not^G82, and^G2532 the men^G444 that walk^G4043^(G5723) over^G1883 them are^G1492 not^G3756 aware^G1492^(G5758) of them.

⁴⁵ One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying this you insult us also.”

KJVThen^G1161 answered^G611^(G5679) one^G5100 of the lawyers^G3544, and said^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Master^G1320, thus^G5023 saying^G3004^(G5723) thou reproachest^G5195^(G5719) us^G2248 also^G2532.

⁴⁶ He said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load men with burdens that are difficult to carry, and you yourselves won’t even lift one finger to help carry those burdens.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G2036^(G5627), Woe^G3759 unto you^G5213 also^G2532, ye lawyers^G3544! for^G3754 ye lade^G5412^(G5719) men^G444 with burdens^G5413 grievous to be borne^G1419, and^G2532 ye yourselves^G846 touch^G4379^(G5719) not^G3756 the burdens^G5413 with one^G1520 of your^G5216 fingers^G1147.

⁴⁷ Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and your fathers killed them.

KJVWoe^G3759 unto you^G5213! for^G3754 ye build^G3618^(G5719) the sepulchres^G3419 of the prophets^G4396, and^G1161 your^G5216 fathers^G3962 killed^G615^(G5656) them^G846.

⁴⁸ So you testify and consent to the works of your fathers. For they killed them, and you build their tombs.

KJVTruly^G686 ye bear witness^G3140^(G5719) that^G2532 ye allow^G4909^(G5719) the deeds^G2041 of your^G5216 fathers^G3962: for^G3754 they^G846 indeed^G3303 killed^G615^(G5656) them^G846, and^G1161 ye^G5210 build^G3618^(G5719) their^G846 sepulchres^G3419.

⁴⁹ Therefore also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles; and some of them they will kill and persecute,

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 also^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) the wisdom^G4678 of God^G2316, I will send^G649^(G5692)^G1519 them^G846 prophets^G4396 and^G2532 apostles^G652, and^G2532 some of^G1537 them^G846 they shall slay^G615^(G5692) and^G2532 persecute^G1559^(G5692):

⁵⁰ that the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation,

KJVThat^G2443 the blood^G129 of all^G3956 the prophets^G4396, which^G3588 was shed^G1632^(G5746) from^G575 the foundation^G2602 of the world^G2889, may be required^G1567^(G5686) of^G575 this^G5026 generation^G1074;

⁵¹ from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation.

KJVFrom^G575 the blood^G129 of Abel^G6 unto^G2193 the blood^G129 of Zacharias^G2197, which^G3588 perished^G622^(G5642) between^G3342 the altar^G2379 and^G2532 the temple^G3624: verily^G3483 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, It shall be required^G1567^(G5701) of^G575 this^G5026 generation^G1074.

⁵² Woe to you lawyers! For you took away the key of knowledge. You didn’t enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in, you hindered.”

KJVWoe^G3759 unto you^G5213, lawyers^G3544! for^G3754 ye have taken away^G142^(G5656) the key^G2807 of knowledge^G1108: ye entered^G1525 not^G3756 in^G1525^(G5627) yourselves^G846, and^G2532 them that were entering in^G1525^(G5740) ye hindered^G2967^(G5656).

⁵³ As he said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to be terribly angry, and to draw many things out of him,

KJVAnd^G1161 as he^G846 said^G3004^(G5723) these things^G5023 unto^G4314 them^G846, the scribes^G1122 and^G2532 the Pharisees^G5330 began^G756^(G5662) to urge^G1758^(G5721) him vehemently^G1171, and^G2532 to provoke^G653 him^G846 to speak^G653^(G5721) of^G4012 many things^G4119:

⁵⁴ lying in wait for him, and seeking to catch him in something he might say, that they might accuse him.

KJVLaying wait for^G1748^(G5723) him^G846, and^G2532 seeking^G2212^(G5723) to catch^G2340^(G5658) something^G5100 out of^G1537 his^G846 mouth^G4750, that^G2443 they might accuse^G2723^(G5661) him^G846.
