'Ask' in the Bible

When the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and those sitting with him. The king said to the young lady, "Ask me whatever you want, and I will give it to you."

He swore to her, "Whatever you shall ask of me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom."

She went out, and said to her mother, "What shall I ask?" She said, "The head of John the Baptizer."

But they didn't understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask."

Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them.

Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one dared ask him any question after that.

They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?"

The multitude, crying aloud, began to ask him to do as he always did for them.
