Luke 11:9-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.

¹⁰ For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

¹¹ And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

¹² Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion?

¹³ If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father from heaven give the good Spirit to them that ask him?
