And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a brother friend neighbor , and shall go unto him at noon dawn midnight , and say unto him, Friend, lend me two three five loaves; For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have little nothing no bread to set before him? And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door gate house is now shut, and my children are with me in bed sleep rest ; I cannot rise and give thee. I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend companion neighbor , yet because of his importunity persistence boldness he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say unto you, Inquire Ask Plead , and it shall be given you; search pursue seek , and ye shall find; call request knock , and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a guardian parent father , will he give him a rock pebble stone ? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a snake viper serpent ? Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a insect scorpion spider ? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good great precious gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
