But while they were on their way to buy it, the bridegroom came; and the bridesmaids who were ready went in with him to the banquet, and the door was shut.

Afterwards the other bridesmaids came. 'Sir, Sir,' they said, 'open the door to us!'

But, when one of you prays, let him go into his own room, shut the door, and pray to his Father who dwells in secret; and his Father, who sees what is secret, will recompense him.

Ask, and your prayer shall be granted; search, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.

For he that asks receives, he that searches finds, and to him that knocks the door shall be opened.
