'Ask' in the Bible
This led the Pharisees and Scribes of their party to expostulate with His disciples and ask, "Why are you eating and drinking with these tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
"So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'
If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
This led Jesus to ask the lawyers and Pharisees, "Is it allowable to cure people on the Sabbath?"
and if I ask you questions, you will certainly not answer.
