11:5	וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם: “Which of you will have a friend and will go to him in the middle of the night, and will say to him: ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
11:6	because a friend of mine has arrived from a journey to me, and I do not have anything to set before him.’
11:7	And from within, he would answer by saying: ‘Do not disturb me. The door is closed now, and my children and I are in bed. I cannot get up and give it to you.’
11:8	Yet if he will persevere in knocking, I tell you that, even though he would not get up and give it to him because he is a friend, yet due to his continued insistence, he will get up and give him whatever he needs.
11:9	And so I say to you: לִשְׁאוֹל, וַיִּתֵּן לָכֶם. לְחַפֵּשׂ, ותמצא. נְקִישָׁה, וייפתח לך.
11:10	לכל מי ששואל, מקבל. And whoever seeks, מוצא. And whoever knocks, it shall be opened to him.
11:11	ואז, who among you, if he asks his father for bread, he would give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, he would give him a serpent, instead of a fish?
11:12	Or if he will ask for an egg, he would offer to him a scorpion?
11:13	לָכֵן, אם אתה, being evil, know how to give good things to your sons, how much more will your Father give, from heaven, a spirit of goodness to those who ask him?”
