Luke 11:5-13

5And he said to them, Who among you shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, let me have three loaves,

6since a friend of mine on a journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him;

7and he within answering should say, Do not disturb me; the door is already shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise up to give [it] thee?

8— I say to you, Although he will not get up and give [them] to him because he is his friend, because of his shamelessness, at any rate, he will rise and give him as many as he wants.

9And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you.

10For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it will be opened.

11But of whom of you that is a father shall a son ask bread, and [the father] shall give him a stone? or also a fish, and instead of a fish shall give him a serpent?

12or if also he shall ask an egg, shall give him a scorpion?

13If therefore ye, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much rather shall the Father who is of heaven give [the] Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
