⁹

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

¹⁰

For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

¹¹

If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?

¹²

Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?

¹³

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
