Luke 11:5-11

⁵Then He said to them: “Who among you will have a friend and go to him at midnight and say to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,

⁶because a friend has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;

⁷and he will answer from within and say, ‘Don't bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give to you?’

⁸I say to you, even if he will not get up and give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as many as he needs.

⁹“So I say to you: ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.

¹⁰Because everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

¹¹And which father among you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if a fish, will he give him a snake instead of a fish?
