'Ask' in the Bible

When Herodias’s own daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.”

So he swore oaths to her: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

Then she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?”“John the Baptist’s head!” she said.

But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Him and said, “Teacher, we want You to do something for us if we ask You.”

Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for—believe that you have received them, and you will have them.

Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

The crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do for them as was his custom.
