For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 7:8 · BSB

Matthew 7:8 in context

The verses around it, from Matthew 7.

4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?

5 You hypocrite! First take the beam out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.

6 Do not give dogs what is holy; do not throw your pearls before swine. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces.

7 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.

8 For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.

9 Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?

11 So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

12 In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.
