Luke 11:5-9
5 And He (Jesus) said to them, “Which of you
shall have a friend, and go to him at midnight and say to him, Friend, lend me
three loaves.
6 for a friend of mine has come to me on his
journey, and I have nothing to set before him.
7 And he will answer from within and say, Do
not trouble me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I
cannot rise and give to you.
8 But I say to you, though he will not rise and
give to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he
will rise and give him as many as he needs.
9 And I say to you, Ask, and it shall be given
you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”
