5 And he said to them: “Who among you that has a friend will go to him in the midst of the night and will say to him: 'Friend, loan me three loaves, 6 for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey and I have nothing to put before him'? 7 And he from the inside says in answer: 'Do not trouble me! The door is shut, and my children are with me in the bed; it is not possible for me to rise to give you [anything].' 8 I say to you: If he does not rise and give to him since he is his friend, indeed he will rise and give to him because of his persistence [vorongandele]. 9 Therefore I say to you: Ask, and [it] will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone asking receives, and everyone seeking finds, and to everyone knocking [it] will be opened.
