1 Raja-raja 18:37

18:37 Answer me, O Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, O Lord, are the true God ¹  and that you are winning back their allegiance.” ² 

Lukas 11:9-10

11:9 “So ³  I tell you: Ask, ⁴  and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door ⁵  will be opened for you. 11:10 For everyone who asks ⁶  receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door ⁷  will be opened.

[18:37]  ¹ tn Heb “the God.”

[18:37]  ² tn Heb “that you are turning their heart[s] back.”

[11:9]  ³ tn Here καί (kai, from καγώ [kagw]) has been translated as “so” to indicate the conclusion drawn from the preceding parable.

[11:9]  ⁴ sn The three present imperatives in this verse (Ask…seek…knock) are probably intended to call for a repeated or continual approach before God.

[11:10]  ⁶ sn The actions of asking, seeking, and knocking are repeated here from v. 9 with the encouragement that God does respond.

[11:10]  ⁷ tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.
