Christian Standard Bible

⁷ Then he will answer from inside and say, ‘Don’t bother me! The door is already locked, and my children and I have gone to bed. I can’t get up to give you anything.’ ⁸ I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s shameless boldness,^[a] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.^(A)

⁹ “So^(B) I say to you, ask,^(C) and it will be given to you. Seek,^(D) and you will find. Knock,^(E) and the door will be opened to you.
