For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door will be opened.

And on coming, it findeth it swept and put in order.

And if in the second, or if in the third watch, he cometh and findeth them thus, happy are they.

What man of you having a hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the ninetynine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he findeth it?

Or what woman having ten pieces of silver, if she lose one piece, doth not light a lamp, and sweep the house, and search carefully till she findeth it?
