I tell you, even though he won’t get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his friend’s persistence,[a] he will get up and give him as much as he needs.(A)

“So(B) I say to you, keep asking,[b](C) and it will be given to you. Keep searching,[c](D) and you will find. Keep knocking,[d](E) and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
