[9] And I say Ask, and it shall be given seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened [10] For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. [11] If a son shall ask that is a father, will he give him if he ask a fish, for a fish give him a serpent? [12] Or he shall ask an egg, him a scorpion? [13] If then, being evil, know how to give good gifts children: how much more your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
