Luke 11:9–10

11:9 “So26 I tell you: Ask,27 and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door28 will be opened for you. 11:10 For everyone who asks29 receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door30 will be opened.

26	tn Here καί (kai, from καγώ [kagō]) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion drawn from the preceding parable.
27	sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask … seek … knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.
28	tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.
29	sn The actions of asking, seeking, and knocking are repeated here from v. 9 with the encouragement that God does respond.
30	tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.
