What father among you, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?
Can a woman forget her baby who nurses at her breast? Can she withhold compassion from the child she has borne? Even if mothers were to forget, I could never forget you!
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
Is there anyone among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
