Luke 11:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹So 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.

¹⁰For everyone who asks and ^[d]keeps on asking receives; and he who seeks and ^[e]keeps on seeking finds; and to him who knocks and ^[f]keeps on knocking, the door shall be opened.

¹¹What father among you, if his son asks for ^[g]a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent?
