Luke 11:6 WEB

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 11:5-13

Encouragement to Persevering Prayer Luke 11:5-13 The parable of the three friends is very encouraging. We, so to speak, are to act as mediators or intercessors between those who are in sore need and our great Heavenly Friend. They are always coming to us on their journey, and we feel that we have nothing to set before them. Whether their need is for body, mind or spirit, they find us poor and bankrupt. But, at such times, let us turn to God with earnest prayer. If persistence in prayer... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Watching the Master at prayer, His disciples were inspired with a desire to pray, and requested that they be taught. He responded to them in a fourfold statement. First, He gave them a model. Then He revealed the character of God as He contrasted it with that of the unjust judge. He then gave them the franchise of prayer in the words, "Ask, seek, knock"; and finally revealed the ground of confidence as it existed in the Fatherhood of God. His casting out of a demon raised criticism by some,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-54

Jesus Sets His Face Towards Jerusalem Followed By Centring on the Lord’s Prayer For The Evangelisation of the World (9:51-11:54). This section commences with Jesus setting His face towards Jerusalem because the time for Him to be received up (as mentioned in Luke 9:22; Luke 9:31; Luke 9:44) is approaching, and it centres around the Lord’s Prayer for the evangelisation of the world (Luke 11:1-4) which is exemplified throughout. This is apparent from an analysis: a ‘And it came about when the... read more

The Man Who Would Not Take No For An Answer (11:5-8). ‘And he said to them, “Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and say to him, “Friend, lend me three loaves, for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him.” ’ The story begins with a man who has been put in an awkward situation. A friend on a journey arrives late seeking hospitality. He had probably been travelling after sunset in order to avoid the heat of the day. But... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:5-13

A Man Seeking His Daily Bread Is Provided For. How Much More Should We Seek The Holy Spirit (11:5-13). In the chiasmus of the whole Section the first part of this passage parallels Martha’s provision of daily bread to Jesus (Luke 10:38-42), the second part parallels the free unrestricted giving of the Good Samaritan, and the third the rejoicing in the Spirit and the revealing of Father and Son through the Holy Spirit (Luke 10:21-22). Having given His prayer to His disciples Jesus now... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 11:1-13

Luke 11:1-1 Chronicles : . On Prayer ( Matthew 6:9-1 Chronicles : *, Matthew 7:7-1 Kings : *).— Lk. assigns the Lord’ s Prayer to a separate occasion and gives two reasons for the disciples’ request. For the first cf. Luke 3:21, Luke 9:21, etc., for the second, Luke 5:33. Rabbis were accustomed to frame special prayers; there are examples in the Talmud. Lk.’ s form of the Lord’ s Prayer is shorter and more original than Mt.’ s. The earliest reference to the use of the Prayer is in the ... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 11:5-9

The plain meaning of our Saviour in this parable, is to teach us that we ought not only to pray, but to be importunate with God in prayer; to continue in prayer, as the apostle phrases it, Colossians 4:2, and to watch thereunto with all perseverance, Ephesians 6:18. This in the Greek is called αναιδειαν, impudence, which though in our language it is generally taken in an ill sense, yet here signifieth no more than a holy boldness, or pursuing our petitions notwithstanding delays or denials. For... read more

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 11:1. The time and place when this incident occurred are indefinite, but there can be no doubt that we have not here part of the Sermon on the Mount, put out of its place. The form of prayer here given differs very considerably (by omission) from that in Matthew 6:9-13; as given in the best authorities it runs as follows: “Father, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Give us day by day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins; for we ourselves also forgive every one that... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 11:6-13

Luke 11:6-13 The Friend at Midnight. I. The success of prayer is conditioned by the character of the suppliant. Not every kind of asking is acceptable prayer. That which men desire simply for the gratification of malice, or the pampering of appetite, or the satisfying of ambition, or the aggrandising of selfishness, God has nowhere promised to bestow; and unless there be in us the spirit to subordinate everything to the honour of Jehovah, we have no warrant to expect an answer. II. That which... read more

And he said unto them, Which, of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; for a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
