6
Because a chaver of mine has come from a journey to me and I have nothing to set before him;
7
And from inside he shall reply, saying, Do not bother me; the delet has already been shut, and my yeladim and I are already in bed; I cannot get up and give to you anything.
8
I say to you, even if he will not get up and give him anything, because he is his chaver, at least because of his keseder (constantly) persistent importunity he will get up and give to him as much as he needs.
9
And I tell you [when you daven], ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10
For everyone asking receives; and he who is seeking, finds; and to the one knocking, it shall be opened.
11
And what Abba among you is there who, if his ben asks for a dag (fish), instead of a dag (fish) will give to him a nachash (snake)?
12
Or if the ben will ask for a beytzah (egg), will the av give him an akrav (scorpion)?
13
If, therefore, you, though you are ra’im (evil ones), have da’as (knowledge) of how to give matanot tovot (good gifts) to your yeladim, how much more will HaAv shbaShomayim give the Ruach Hakodesh to the ones asking him.
14
And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was casting out a shed from an ish illem (mute man). And it came to pass when the shed had come out, the ish illem spoke, and the multitudes were amazed.
15
But some of them said, He casts out the shedim by Baal-zibbul Sar HaShedim.
16
And others, to test him, were demanding of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach an ot (sign) from Shomayim.
