¹⁴ So Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and ^[a]a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and ^(A)sent her away. Then she departed and wandered in the Wilderness of Beersheba.

^17 (A)Nevertheless He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, ^(B)gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with ^(C)food and gladness.”

Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? ¹² Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? ¹³ If you then, being evil, know how to give ^(B)good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”
