King James Version (KJV)
Alternate with Word Pictures and Reiterations translation (AWPR)
1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples.
(KJV)
1) And it came into being in the existence (of) Him
in a certain place,
as He -- coming to an end and resting --ceased
praying,
a certain one of His disciples
up alongside with Him said,
'LORD, teach - instruct us to pray
even as also John taught - instructed the
pupils - learners - disciples of him.'
(AWPR)
2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. (KJV)
2) Then He said to them,
'Whensoever - So often as you pray,
lay down definite words - say,
' 'Our Father who (is) in the heavens,
holy - clean - pure be the Name of You.
Let come the Kingdom of You.
Let be done the will and good pleasure of You
as in Heaven, so upon the Earth.
(AWPR)
3 Give us day by day our daily bread. (KJV)
3) The bread of us,
the needed for our substance and being,
(of Your own good will and accord) give us
every day - daily - day by day.
(AWPR)
4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. (KJV)
4) And dismiss - remove - forgive
the sins of us,
because we ourselves
dismiss - remove - forgive all - everyone
indebted - owing - duty bound to pay
or give to us.
And do not bear up and carry us into testing
but draw - drag - snatch us from danger /
deliver us from the
evil labors, sorrows, and pains.
(AWPR)
5 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; (KJV)
5) And He said up alongside with them,
‘Who out of you shall have – hold – possess
a friend – a companion
[LXX Esther 5:10, Daniel 2:13,17-18 refers to philos as
a “bridesman”.
Hence, can also imply a dear friend who
was part of one’s inner circle wedding party, such as
the best man at his wedding.]
and will pass through (from one place to another)
up alongside with him at midnight,
and say to him,
‘ ‘Friend, lend me – let me borrow
3 loaves of bread.
(AWPR)
6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? (KJV)
6) Look upon favorably.
A friend of mine has put near side by side
out of a highway up alongside next to me,
and I certainly do not have – hold – possess
what I may set or lay
near to – to the side of – before him.' '
(AWPR)
7 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. (KJV)
7) And that one, from a place within, answering from
consideration and discernment may say,
‘ ‘Do not possess and hold out next to me -
Do not offer me
breast beating wailing grief or lamentation.
Now already!
The door has been shut closed and secured in
all safety and firmness;
the children of me are into the bed in
the midst of me.
I certainly am not able or capable of rising up
to give to you of my own good will and accord.’ ‘
(AWPR)
8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. (KJV)
8) I lay down definite words saying to you,
Even if he will certainly not give to him of his own
good will and accord,
rising up through his being a friend – a companion
[ a bridesman – or someone who is to him
like one of the family]
yet through [this lesser reason],
the shamelessness – the reckless disregard of him,
rising from lying down and from sleep,
he will of his own good will and accord give to him
as much as he has need of.
(AWPR)
9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (KJV)
9) And I, to you, lay down definite words and say,
‘Ask [as that of an inferior
in want and need to his benefactor],
and it will of good will and accord be given to you.
Seek after – Look for – Strive to find,
and you will find.
Knock, and it will be opened again unto you.
(AWPR)
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (KJV)
10) For all asking
[as that of an inferior
in want and need to his benefactor],
takes – seizes – lays hold of – receives;
and the (one) seeking while striving to find, finds;
and to the (one) knocking, it will be opened again.
(AWPR)
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? (KJV)
11) Then what certain father of you (of whom)
the son asks
[as that of an inferior
in want and need to his benefactor],
bread,
will he not suppose or conceive of his own good
will and accord to give a stone upon him?
And if a fish, against a fish – instead of a fish,
will he not of his own good will and accord
give him a snake?
(AWPR)
12) Or also, if he should ask
[as that of an inferior
in want and need to his benefactor],
an egg,
will he not suppose or conceive to give him
a scorpion?
(AWPR)
13 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? (KJV)
13) If then, you being corruptingly evil
perceivingly know to
(of your own good will and accord to)
give good – beneficial – useful
gifts to the children of you,
how greatly more rather will the Father of Heaven
give of His own good will and accord
(the) Holy Spirit to those
[politely and humbly]
asking Him?
(AWPR)
