  1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God, and Timothy our brother,

  2 to the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

  7 even as you learned of Epaphras our beloved fellow servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf,

  8 who also declared to us your love in the Spirit.

  9 For this cause, we also, since the day we heard this, don’t cease praying and making requests for you, that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

  10 that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

  11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, for all endurance and perseverance with joy,

- Gospel

  Luke 11:1–10

  **Show the text**

  1 When 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.”

  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.

  3 Give us day by day our daily bread.

  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.’ ”

  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,

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

  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’?

  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.

  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.

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