Matthew 7:8 Context
6¶ Giue not that which is holy vnto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearles before swine: lest they trample them vnder their feete, and turne againe and rent you. 7¶ Aske, and it shalbe giuen you: seeke, and ye shall finde: knocke, and it shalbe opened vnto you. 8For euery one that asketh, receiueth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shalbe opened. 9Or what man is there of you, whom if his sonne aske bread, will hee giue him a stone? 10Or if he aske a fish, will hee giue him a serpent?
