'Seek' in the Bible

Peter went down to the men and said, “I am the one you are looking for. For what reason have you come?”

So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,And all the Gentiles upon whom My name has been invoked,’

This was so that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grasp for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us.

Therefore, if I am guilty and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not try to escape death; but if there is nothing to the accusations which these men are bringing against me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar (Emperor Nero).”
