Ask, seek, knock
Matt 7:7–11 · Luke 11:9–13
Matt 7:7–117Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
8For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
9Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!
Luke 11:9–139So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
10For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.
11What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?
12Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
