Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him
And he, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed it is not possible for me to get up and give to you?
I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of.
And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered what you are searching for, you will get when you give the sign, the door will be open to you.
For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given and he who is searching will get his desire and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open.
And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake?
Or for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him?
