'Ask' in the Bible
This also is John's testimony, when the Jews sent to him a deputation of Priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him who he was.
The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, 'Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?"
but how it is that he can now see or who has opened his eyes we do not know. Ask him himself; he is of full age; he himself will give his own account of it."

Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, "Is this what you are questioning one another about--my saying, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me'?
You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name He will give you.
As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness.
At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,
I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.
This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
