Luke 11:8 in context

  1. 6for a friend of mine is come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him;
  2. 7and he from within shall 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?
  3. 8I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will arise and give him as many as he needeth.
  4. 9And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
  5. 10For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
