Luke 11:9-13

New American Standard Bible

⁹ “So I say to you, ^[a](A)ask, and it will be given to you; ^[b]seek, and you will find; ^[c]knock, and it will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, it will be opened. ¹¹ Now ^[d]which one of you fathers will his son ask for a ^[e]fish, and instead of a fish, he will give him a snake? ¹² Or he will even ask for an egg, and his father will give him a scorpion? ¹³ So ^(B)if you, despite being ^[f]evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will ^[g]your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
