²² And ^(A)whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, ^(B)if you have faith.”

Ask, and It Will Be Given

^7 (A)“Ask, ^(B)and it will be given to you; ^(C)seek, and you will find; ^(D)knock, and it will be opened to you.

²⁴ Therefore I tell you, ^(A)whatever you ask in prayer, ^(B)believe that you ^(C)have received^[a] it, and it will be yours.

⁸ I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything ^(A)because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence^[a] he will rise and give him whatever he needs. ⁹ And I tell you, ^(B)ask, and ^(C)it will be given to you; ^(D)seek, and you will find; ^(E)knock, and it will be opened to you. ¹⁰ For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

¹⁴ And this is ^(A)the confidence that we have toward him, that ^(B)if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

²² and ^(A)whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and ^(B)do what pleases him.

²⁴ Until now you have asked nothing in my name. ^(A)Ask, and you will receive, ^(B)that your joy may be full.

¹⁹ Again I say to you, if two of you ^(A)agree on earth about anything they ask, ^(B)it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

¹¹ If you then, ^(A)who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will ^(B)your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
