Ask, and It Will Be Given

7 1“Ask, 2and it will be given to you; 3seek, and you will find; 4knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for 5bread, will give him 6a stone?
10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent?
11 If you then, 7who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will 8your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
