Luke 11:5-13 - Ask, Seek, Knock

⁵ And he said to them, Which. of you shall have a friend, and shall-go to him at midnight, and should say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; ⁶ Since my friend has come to me from the way, and I have not what I may set before him! ⁷ And he within, having.answered, should say, Offer not weariness to me already has the door been shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot having risen, give thee. ⁸ I say to you, If also having risen he will not give him because of being his friend, yet for his effrontery, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs.

⁹ And I say ' to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. ¹⁰ For every one asking, receives; and he seeking, finds; and to him knocking, it shall be opened. . ¹¹ And shall a son ask bread of any of you a father, will he give him a stone ? and if a fish, for a fish he will not give him a serpent. ¹² Or also if he ask an egg, he will not give him a scorpion. ¹³ If then ye, being evil, know to give good gifts to your children; how much more the Father, be from heaven, will give the Holy Spirit to them asking him ?
