Now Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but all at once they became wide awake and saw His splendor and the two men who were standing with Him.

Now there were some shepherds in the same neighborhood, living in the open fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.

For there is nothing hidden which shall not come out into the open, and nothing kept secret which shall not be known and come to light.

So I tell you, keep on asking, and the gift will be given you; keep on seeking, and you will find; keep on knocking, and the door will open to you.

For everyone who keeps on asking, receives; and the one who keeps on seeking, finds; and to the one who keeps on knocking, the door will open.

and be like men waiting for their master when he comes home from the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they at once may open the door for him.

when once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand on the outside and to knock on the door again and again and say, 'Lord, open it for us'; but He will answer, 'I do not know where you come from.'
