• Luke 115-13
• And Jesus said to his disciples, "Suppose one of
  you has a friend to whom he goes at midnight and
  says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, for
  a friend of mine has arrived at my house from a
  journey and I have nothing to offer him,' and he
  says in reply from within, 'Do not bother me the
  door has already been locked and my children and
  I are already in bed. I cannot get up to give you
  anything.' I tell you, if he does not get up to
  give him the loaves because of their friendship,
  he will get up to give him whatever he needs
  because of his persistence.

• "And I tell you, ask and you will receive seek
  and you will find knock and the door will be
  opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives
  and the one who seeks, finds and to the one who
  knocks, the door will be opened. What father
  among you would hand his son a snake when he asks
  for a fish? Or hand him a scorpion when he asks
  for an egg? If you then, who are wicked, know
  how to give good gifts to your children, how much
  more will the Father in heaven give the holy
  Spirit to those who ask him?"
