Luke 11:5-10 ▼

5 And He said to them, “Who of you will have a friend, and will go on to him at midnight, and may say to him, Friend, lend me three loaves,

6 seeing a friend of mine came out of the way to me, and I have not what I will set before him,

7 and he from within answering may say, Do not give me trouble, the door has already been shut, and my children are with me in the bed, I am not able, having risen, to give to you.

8 I say to you, even if he will not give to him, having risen, because of his being his friend, yet because of his persistence, having risen, he will give him as many as he needs;

9 and 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 is asking receives; and he who is seeking finds; and to him who is knocking it will be opened.
