Matthew 7:8 in Context — Matthew 7

6 Ne donnez pas les choses saintes aux chiens, et ne jetez pas vos perles devant les pourceaux, de peur qu’ils ne les foulent aux pieds, ne se retournent et ne vous déchirent.

7 Demandez,et l’on vous donnera; cherchez, et vous trouverez; frappez, et l’on vous ouvrira.

8 Car quiconque demande reçoit, celui qui cherche trouve, et l’on ouvre à celui qui frappe.

9 Lequel de vous donnera une pierre à son fils, s’il lui demande du pain?

10 Ou, s’il demande un poisson, lui donnera-t-il un serpent?
