Ask, Seek, Knock - Readers Theater
Matthew 7:7-12 with Luke 11:5-8
by Dr. Ralph F. WilsonPart of a study on the Sermon on the Mount
READER 1 | Ask and it will be given to you; |
READER 2 | Seek and you will find; |
READER 3 | Knock and the door will be opened to you. |
READER 1 | For everyone who asks receives. |
READER 2 | He who seeks finds. |
READER 3 | And to him who knocks, the door will be opened. |
READER 1 | Ask. |
ALL | Keep on asking. |
READER 2 | Seek. |
ALL | Keep on seeking. |
READER 3 | Knock. |
ALL | Keep on knocking. |
READER 1 | Suppose one of you has a friend, |
READER 2 | A friend. |
READER 1 | And he goes to him at midnight and says, |
READER 3 | 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.' |
READER 1 | Then the one inside answers, |
READER 2 | 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. |
READER 3 | I can't get up and give you anything.' |
READER 2 | I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, |
READER 1 | Yet because of the man's boldness |
READER 2 | Persistence |
READER 3 | Continued knocking |
READER 2 | He will get up and give him as much as he needs. |
READER 1 | Ask and it will be given to you; |
READER 2 | Seek and you will find; |
READER 3 | Knock and the door will be opened to you. |
READER 1 | For everyone who asks receives. |
READER 2 | He who seeks finds. |
READER 3 | And to him who knocks, the door will be opened. |
READER 1 | Which of you, if his son asks for bread, |
READER 2 | For bread |
READER 1 | will give him a stone? |
READER 3 | A stone. |
READER 1 | Or if he asks for a fish, |
READER 2 | For a fish. |
READER 1 | will give him a snake? |
READER 3 | A snake. |
READER 1 | If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, |
READER 2 | How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! |
READER 1 | Ask |
READER 2 | Seek |
READER 3 | Knock |
READER 1 | So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. |
ALL | The Golden Rule |
READER 1 | Do to others |
READER 2 | What you would have them |
READER 3 | Do to you. |
READER 1 | Ask |
READER 2 | Seek |
READER 3 | Knock |
ALL | And it shall be given unto you. |
