9. And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you: Seek, and ye shall find: Knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10. For every one that asketh, receiveth, and he that seeketh, findeth, and to him, that knocketh, it shall be opened. 11. If a son shall ⟨p. 80⟩ask bread of any of you, that is a father, will he give him a stone? Or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish, give him a Serpent? 12. Or if he ask an Egg, will he give him a Scorpion? 13. If ye then, which are evil, can give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Ghost to them, that desire him?
