Luke 11
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
11 Ref And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Ref Or `if' he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
13 Ref If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall `your' heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14 Ref And he was casting out a demon `that was' dumb. And it came to pass, when the demon was gone out, the dumb man spake; and the multitudes marvelled.
