8I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.
9“And so I say to you — Ask, and your prayer will be granted, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
10For the person who asks receives, everyone who searches finds, and to the person who knocks the door will be opened.
11What father amongst you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,
12or, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
