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.
Y el que está adentro le responde: 'No me molestes ahora. Ya cerré con llave la puerta y mis hijos están acostados conmigo en la cama. No puedo levantarme a darte nada.'
El amigo se niega a ayudar porque ya está cómodo en casa con su familia para la noche.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus tells a parable about a man who goes to his friend at midnight to ask for bread because an unexpected guest has arrived, illustrating the cultural value of hospitality in ancient Jewish society. The friend's initial refusal, mentioning the shut door and his children in bed, reflects the practical realities of first-century homes, which were often small and shared by the whole family, making nighttime disturbances highly inconvenient. This sets the stage for Jesus to emphasize persistence in seeking help from God.
