8I say to you, though 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 will be given you; seek, and ye will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
10For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.
11And what father is there, among you, who, if his son ask for bread, will give him a stone? or if he ask for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?
12or, if he ask for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
