Or, if he asks a fish, will you hand him a serpent?
Why, which of you, when asked by his son for a loaf, will hand him a stone?
Well, if for all your evil you know to give your children what is good, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him?
Indeed the Son of man must be lifted on high, just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
but I am afraid of your thoughts getting seduced from a single devotion to Christ, just as the serpent beguiled Eve with his cunning.
