Luke 11:5-13 And he said unto them––Who from among you, shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him–

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And he said unto them––Who from among you, shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him––Friend! supply me with three loaves, ⁶ forasmuch as, a friend of mine, hath come off a journey unto me, and I have not what I can set before him; ⁷ and, he, from within, shall answer, and say––Be not disturbing me,––already, the door hath been fastened, and, my children, with me, are, in bed: I cannot rise and give thee? ⁸ I say unto you––Even though he will not give him, rising because of his being a friend of his, because, at least, of his importunity, he will rouse himself, and give him as many as he needeth. ⁹ I, therefore, unto you, say––Be asking, and it shall be given to you, Be seeking, and ye shall find,––Be knocking, and it shall be opened unto you. ¹⁰ For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth,––and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened. ¹¹ But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent? ¹² Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion? ¹³ If therefore, ye, being, evil, know how to be giving, good gifts, unto your children, how much rather, will, the heavenly Father, give Holy Spirit unto them that ask him!
