Matthew 7:8

For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Matthew 7:8 · World English Bible

In context

6“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

7“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

8For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

9Or who is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

10Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?
