<p class="bodytext">&#8220;So<n id="1" /> I tell you: Ask,<n id="2" /> and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door<n id="3" /> will be opened for you.

&#8216;I tell you that everyone who has will be given more,<n id="1" /> but from the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.<n id="2" />

Give, and it will be given to you: A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over,<n id="1" /> will be poured<n id="2" /> into your lap. For the measure you use will be the measure you receive.&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

So listen carefully,<n id="1" /> for whoever has will be given more, but<n id="2" /> whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has<n id="3" /> will be taken from him.&#8221;p>

<t /><p class="bodytext">As<n id="1" /> the crowds were increasing, Jesus<n id="2" /> began to say, &#8220;This generation is a wicked generation; it looks for a sign,<n id="3" /> but no sign will be given to it except the sign of Jonah.<n id="4" />
