7. And he from within should answer, and say: Trouble me not, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.
8. Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise, and give him as many as he needeth.
9. And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and you shall find: knock, and it shall be opened to you.
10. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
