9. And I tell you [when you daven], ask, and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find; knock and it shall be opened to you.
10. For everyone asking receives; and he who is seeking, finds; and to the one knocking, it shall be opened.
11. And what Abba among you is there who, if his ben asks for a dag (fish), instead of a dag (fish) will give to him a nachash (snake)?
12. Or if the ben will ask for a beytzah (egg), will the av give him an akrav (scorpion)?
13. If, therefore, you, though you are ra'im (evil ones), have da'as (knowledge) of how to give matanot tovot (good gifts) to your yeladim, how much more will HaAv shbaShomayim give the Ruach Hakodesh to the ones asking him.
14. And Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach was casting out a shed from an ish illem (mute man). And it came to pass when the shed had come out, the ish illem spoke, and the multitudes were amazed.
15. But some of them said, He casts out the shedim by Baal-zibbul Sar HaShedim.
16. And others, to test him, were demanding of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach an ot (sign) from Shomayim.
