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?
12Or if he asks for an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
