Ask, Search, Knock
7 "Ask, 7:7–11 Lk 11:9–13and it will be given to you. 7:7 Mt 18:22; Mk 11:24; Jn 14:13–14; 15:7; 16:24; Jms 1:5; 1Jn 3:22; 5:14Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door 7:7 Lit and itwill be opened to you.8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, 7:8 Pr 8:17; Is 55:6; Jr 29:12–13and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.9 Who among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?11 If you then, who are evil, 7:11 Gn 6:5; 8:21know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him.
