Joseph of Arimathea, a respected member of the council, who also himself was expecting the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked (ētēsato | ᾐτήσατο | aor mid ind 3 sg) for the body of Jesus.
For this reason I tell you, whatever you pray and ask (aiteisthe | αἰτεῖσθε | pres mid ind 2 pl) for, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.
But Jesus said to them, “You do not know what you are asking (aiteisthe | αἰτεῖσθε | pres mid ind 2 pl). Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, approached Jesus and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” (aitēsōmen | αἰτήσωμεν | aor act subj 1 pl)
And immediately, entering with haste to the king, she asked (ētēsato | ᾐτήσατο | aor mid ind 3 sg) him, saying, “I want you to give me right now the head of John the baptizer on a platter.”
So she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask (aitēsōmai | αἰτήσωμαι | aor mid subj 1 sg) for?” And her mother said, “The head of John the baptizer.”
And he promised her insistently with an oath, “Whatever you ask for (aitēsēs | αἰτήσῃς | aor act subj 2 sg), I will give it to you, up to half of my kingdom.”
When the daughter Herodias came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner companions. The king said to the young girl, “Ask (aitēson | αἴτησον | aor act imperative 2 sg) me for (aitēson | αἴτησον | aor act imperative 2 sg) whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”
