Then Jesus said to them, “Suppose you have a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
6
a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have no food to offer him.’
7
And suppose the one inside answers, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is already locked, and my children and I are in bed. I can’t get up and give you anything.’
8
I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity[a]he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
