Luke 11:7-10

Moffatt(i) 7 And suppose he answers from the inside, 'Don't bother me; the door is locked by this time, and my children are in bed with me. I can't get up and give you anything.' 8 I tell you, though he will not get up and give you anything because you are a friend of his, he will at least rise and give you whatever you want, because you persist. 9 So I tell you, ask and the gift will be yours, seek and you will find, knock and the door will open to you; 10 for everyone who asks receives, the seeker finds, the door is opened to anyone who knocks.
