In Context

8I say to you, even if he will not get up and give him anything, because he is his chaver, at least because of his keseder (constantly) persistent importunity he will get up and give to him as much as he needs.

10For everyone asking receives; and he who is seeking, finds; and to the one knocking, it shall be opened.
