Luke 11:7-13

⁷And he from within should 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.

⁸Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although 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.

⁹And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

¹⁰For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

¹¹And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

¹²Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion?

¹³If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?
