7
and he will answer from within, 'Do not bother me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I cannot get up and give you anything'?

I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything 1because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence[a] he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
9
And I tell you, 2ask, and 3it will be given to you; 4seek, and you will find; 5knock, and it will be opened to you.
