Luke 11:12

12 Or if he asked for an egg would give him a scorpion?

Luke 11:12 In-Context

10 For everyone who goes on asking receives; and he who goes on seeking finds; and to him who continues knocking, the door will be opened.
11 "Is there any father here who, if his son asked him for a fish, would instead of a fish give him a snake?
12 Or if he asked for an egg would give him a scorpion?
13 So if you, even though you are bad, know how to give your children gifts that are good, how much more will the Father keep giving the Ruach HaKodesh from heaven to those who keep asking him!"
14 He was expelling a demon that was mute. When the demon had gone out, the man who had been mute spoke; and the people were astounded.
