Luke 11:7-9

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁷ And he from within will answer, Do not disturb me; the door is now closed, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and supply you [with anything]?

⁸ I tell you, although he will not get up and supply him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his shameless persistence and insistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

⁹ So I say to you, Ask and ^[a]keep on asking and it shall be given you; seek and ^[b]keep on seeking and you shall find; knock and ^[c]keep on knocking and the door shall be opened to you.
