And it came to pass, that He was in a certain place praying; when He ceased, one of His disciples said to Him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. And He said to them, When you pray, say, Our Father, let thy name be hallowed: let thy kingdom come: give unto us this day our daily bread: read more.
and forgive us our sins; for we also do forgive every one owing us: and lead us not into temptation. And He said to them, Which one of you shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight, and say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves; since my friend came to me from the road, and I have nothing which I may place before him. And he responding from within, said, Do not give me trouble: the door has already been closed, and my children are in bed with me; I am not able rising to give unto thee. I say unto you, If indeed having risen he will not give unto him, because he is his friend, yet on account of his shamelessness, rising he will give him as much as he needs. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given unto you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one asking receives; and the one seeking finds; and to the one knocking it shall be opened. And which father of you shall if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone? or indeed a fish, will he instead of a fish give him a serpent? Or indeed shall he ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion? If then you, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, then how much more will your Father who is from heaven give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

And he was not willing for a time: but after these things he said in himself, Though I fear not God nor regard man, yet because this widow causes me trouble, I will avenge her, lest coming forever she may smite me in the face.
