Luke 11:8 in Context — Luke 11
6 Porque un amigo mío ha venido á mí de camino, y no tengo qué ponerle delante;
7 Y el de dentro respondiendo, dijere: No me seas molesto; la puerta está ya cerrada, y mis niños están conmigo en cama; no puedo levantarme, y darte?
8 Os digo, que aunque no se levante á darle por ser su amigo, cierto por su importunidad se levantará, y le dará todo lo que habrá menester.
9 Y yo os digo: Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; llamad, y os será abierto.
10 Porque todo aquel que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se abre.
