Luke 11:9-13 ▼

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.

11 And of which of you—the father—[if] the son will ask [for] a loaf, will present to him a stone? And [if] a fish, instead of a fish, will present to him a serpent?

12 And [if] he may ask [for] an egg, will present to him a scorpion?

13 If, then, you, being evil, have known to be giving good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father who is from Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those asking Him!”
