OET (OET-RV) I’m telling all of you that even if that friend wouldn’t get up and give them anything because of their friendship, then the friend will certainly get up and give them some food if they persist in knocking.

(Legō humin, ei kai ou dōsei autōi anastas, dia to einai filon autou, dia ge taʸn anaideian autou egertheis, dōsei autōi hosōn ⱪraʸzei.)

?:? *Here the direct object is supplied from context in the English translation
?:? *Here “after” is supplied as a component of the participle (“gets up”) which is understood as temporal
?:? Or “shamelessness”; some translate as “persistence” based on the context, though this is not the normal meaning of the word
?:? *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“will get up”) has been translated as a finite verb
BBE I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
11:8 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.
Jesus’ Prayers
In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus prayed at critical events in his life: at his baptism (3:21), before calling the Twelve (6:12), at the Transfiguration (9:28-29), for Peter before his denial (22:32), and for his murderers from the cross (23:34). At times, Jesus withdrew from others so that he could pray alone (Matt 14:23; Mark 1:35; Luke 5:16). He also taught the disciples to pray (Luke 11:1-4; see also Matt 6:5-13) and told parables about the need for persistent prayer (Luke 11:5-13; 18:1-8).
Jesus’ prayers are part of Luke’s emphasis on the intimacy between the Father and the Son. Jesus lived in communion with the Father, followed the Father’s purpose, and remained faithful to the Father’s will. In Gethsemane, Jesus agonized over the suffering that lay ahead, but he prayed, “I want your will to be done, not mine” (Luke 22:42). On the cross, he expressed total dependence on the Father, uttering as his last words, “Father, I entrust my spirit into your hands!” (Luke 23:46). Jesus modeled for us a life of trust and dependence on our heavenly Father.
John records a prayer of Jesus on his final night with the disciples, often referred to as the High Priestly Prayer (John 17:1-26). In this prayer, Jesus intercedes for his followers, praying for their protection, understanding, holiness, and unity.
Passages for Further Study
Matt 6:9-13; Luke 3:21; 6:12; 9:28; 11:1-13; 18:1-8; 22:32, 39-46; 23:34, 46; John 17:1-26
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / you
λέγω ὑμῖν
˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Even though Jesus began this hypothetical situation by asking “which of you,” that is, “which one of you,” here he is addressing all of the disciples together, not the hypothetical single disciple who might go to a friend’s house at midnight. So here, the word you is plural.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
διά γε τὴν ἀναίδειαν αὐτοῦ
because_of surely the persistence ˱of˲_him
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea behind the abstract noun persistence with a verb such as “continue.” Alternate translation: “because you continue to ask him urgently”
ἐγερθεὶς
/having_been/_raised
Alternate translation: “getting out of bed”
