## Matthew 7:10 in Context (Verses 7–13 KJV)
 
 [7 ](/kjv/matthew/7/7) ¶ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/matthew/7/8) For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/matthew/7/9) Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
 
 [10 ](/kjv/matthew/7/10) Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
 
 [11 ](/kjv/matthew/7/11) If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
 
 [12 ](/kjv/matthew/7/12) Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/matthew/7/13) ¶ Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide *is* the gate, and broad *is* the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
