“Which of you fathers, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead?

What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent

“You fathers—if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead?

What father among you, if his son   asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?

If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?

If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?

“Don’t bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need. This is not a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we’re in. If your little boy asks for a serving of fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate? If your little girl asks for an egg, do you trick her with a spider? As bad as you are, you wouldn’t think of such a thing—you’re at least decent to your own children. And don’t you think the Father who conceived you in love will give the Holy Spirit when you ask him?”

Now which one of you fathers will his son ask for a fish, and instead of a fish, he will give him a snake?

What father among you, if his son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?

What father among you, if your son asks for a fish, will give him a snake instead of a fish?
