Luke 11:11

New American Bible - revised edition

What father among you would hand his son a snake when he asks for a fish?

See the chapter Copy

Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you.

or a snake when he asks for a fish?

Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread,

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

Or hand him a scorpion when he asks for an egg?
