Luke 11:10

Read in context

Luke 11:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 I tell you, even though he will not get up to provide for him because of his friendship, yet because of the man’s persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he needs.

9 So I tell you: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

10 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

11 What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
