9
And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.
10
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.
11
If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if [he shall ask] a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13
If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children: how much more will [your] heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
14
And he was casting out a demon, and it was dumb. And it came to pass when the demon was gone out, the dumb spoke; and the people wondered.
15
But some of them said, He casteth out demons through Beelzebub, the chief of the demons.
16
And others tempting [him], sought from him a sign from heaven.
17
But he, knowing their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house [divided] against a house falleth.
18
If Satan also is divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out demons through Beelzebub.
19
And if I by Beelzebub cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast [them] out? therefore shall they be your judges.
