Abraham said,“ Now that I have been so bold as to speak to the Lord, what if only twenty can be found there?” He said,“ For the sake of twenty, I will not destroy it.”

Abraham said,“ I have been very bold to speak to the Lord. What if only 20 can be found there?” He said,“ If I find 20, I will not destroy it.”

He said,“ Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there.” He answered,“ For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it.”

耶稣对门徒讲了一个比喻，为了要他们常常祷告，不可灰心。

“你们祈求，就给你们；寻找，就找到；叩门，就给你们开门。

是藉着他给我们开了一条又新又活的路，从幔子经过，这幔子就是他的身体。既然我们有一位伟大祭司治理神的家，那么，我们该用诚心和充足的信心，同已蒙洁净、无亏的良心，和清水洗净了的身体来亲近神。

你们虽然不好，尚且知道拿好东西给儿女，何况你们在天上的父，他岂不更要把好东西赐给求他的人吗？

要靠着圣灵，随时多方祷告祈求，并要为此警醒不倦，为众圣徒祈求。

所以，我们只管坦然无惧地来到施恩的宝座前，为要得怜悯，蒙恩惠，作及时的帮助。

我告诉你们，虽不因他是朋友起来给他，也会因他不顾面子地直求，起来照他所需要的给他。
