But which is the father, from among yourselves, whom the son will ask for, a fish, who, instead of a fish, will give him, a serpent?
Or what man, from among yourselves, whom his son shall ask for a loaf,—a stone, will give him?
Can, a woman, forget, her sucking child, Past taking compassion on the son of her womb? Even these, may forget, Yet will, I, not forget, thee:
Or, a fish also, shall ask,—a serpent, will give him?
For, whosoever asketh, receiveth, and, he that seeketh, findeth,—and, to him that knocketh, shall it be opened.
Or shall also ask, an egg, who will give him, a scorpion?
