Matthew 7:10 - People's Commentary (NT)

Matthew 7:10

8 For ^aeveryone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.

9 ^aOr what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

10 Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If you then, ^abeing evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

12 Therefore, ^awhatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for ^bthis is the Law and the Prophets.

Matthew 7:9-10

Matthew 7:9 If his son shall ask bread, will he give him a stone? The assurance of an answer to prayer is based on the fact that God is our Father. He treats his children as a good and wise earthly parent would. No kind parent would mock his child by answering his cry for bread with stones. Bread and fish were the chief articles of food of the Galilean peasant.
