Luke 11:5-10
11:6 a A friend of mine has just arrived for a visit: Standards of hospitality in first-century Jewish culture required a host to find adequate provisions for a visitor.11:8 b because of your shameless persistence (or in order to avoid shame, or so his reputation won’t be damaged): Shame would also lie on the man who didn’t want to get up, since hospitality was a community requirement. God protects his good name by providing for his people.
