Matthew 7:9 in context

Matthew 7:6–12

6

“Don’t give that which is holy to the dogs, neither throw your pearls before the pigs, lest perhaps they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

7

“Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you.

8

For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.

9
Selected verse

Or who is there among you who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone?

10

Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent?

11

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

12

Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
