7 and from inside he answers and says, 'Do not bother * me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot * get up and give you anything.'

8 "I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet ¹because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9 "So I say to you, ²ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
