Matthew 7:8

7:8 For everyone who asks ¹  receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 27:25

27:25 In ²  reply all the people said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children!”

[7:8]  ¹ sn The actions of asking, seeking, and knocking are repeated here from v. 7 with the encouragement that God does respond.

[27:25]  ² tn Grk “answering, all the people said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.
