⁷ Make a request, and it will be answered; what you are searching for you will get; give the sign, and the door will be open to you: ⁸ Because to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire, and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open. ⁹ Or which of you, if his son makes a request for bread, will give him a stone? ¹⁰ Or if he makes a request for a fish, will give him a snake? ¹¹ If you, then, being evil, are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who make requests to him?
