Ask And It Will Be Given To You Seek And You Will Find Knock And It Will Be Opened To You

The phrase "Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you" is a well-known biblical passage found in the Gospel of Matthew (7:7) within the New Testament of the Christian Bible. This verse is part of the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus Christ is depicted as teaching his followers about prayer, persistence, and faith. The passage encourages believers to ask God for what they need, to seek His will, and to persistently knock on the door of opportunity, with the promise that their requests will be granted, their searches will be successful, and the doors will be opened to them. The Hebrew translation of this phrase is "שאלו ותתן לכם, בבקשו תמצאו, תדפקו ותפתח לכם". In other languages, it is rendered as "Pide y se te dará, busca y hallarás, golpea y se te abrirá" in Spanish, "Demandez et l'on vous donnera; cherchez et vous trouverez; frappez et l'on vous ouvrira" in French, and "Bittet, so wird euch gegeben; suchet, so werdet ihr finden; klopfet an, so wird euch aufgetan" in German. This verse is often interpreted as a call to persistent prayer and faith, emphasizing the importance of trust in divine providence and the active pursuit of one's goals.
