And which of you, if he ask his father bread, will he give him a stone? or a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Or what man is there among you, of whom if his son shall ask bread, will he reach him a stone?
Can a woman forget her infant, so as not to have pity on the son of her womb? And if she should forget, yet will not I forget thee.
Or if he shall ask him a fish, will he reach him a serpent?
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened.
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he reach him a scorpion?
