But the ruling priests and the elders persuaded the crowds to ask (aitēsōntai | αἰτήσωνται | aor mid subj 3 pl) for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

And whatever you ask (aitēsēte | αἰτήσητε | aor act subj 2 pl) in prayer, if you believe, you will receive.”

Jesus answered, saying, “You do not realize what you are asking (aiteisthe | αἰτεῖσθε | pres mid ind 2 pl). Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.”

Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, and kneeling down she asked (aitousa | αἰτοῦσα | pres act ptcp nom sg fem) something from him.

“Again, I tell you the truth, if two of you on earth are in agreement about anything whatever you may ask (aitēsōntai | αἰτήσωνται | aor mid subj 3 pl), it will be done for you by my Father who is in heaven.

So he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked (aitēsētai | αἰτήσηται | aor mid subj 3 sg).

If then you, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask (aitousin | αἰτοῦσιν | pres act ptcp dat pl masc) him!

Or if he (aitēsei | αἰτήσει | fut act ind 3 sg) should (aitēsei | αἰτήσει | fut act ind 3 sg) ask (aitēsei | αἰτήσει | fut act ind 3 sg) for (aitēsei | αἰτήσει | fut act ind 3 sg) a fish, would give him a snake?

Or is there any man among you who, if his son should ask (aitēsei | αἰτήσει | fut act ind 3 sg) for (aitēsei | αἰτήσει | fut act ind 3 sg) bread, would give him a stone?

For everyone who asks (aitōn | αἰτῶν | pres act ptcp nom sg masc) receives, and everyone who seeks finds, and for everyone who knocks it will be opened.
