Matthew Study Notes—Chapter 7

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 7:7
  
  Keep on asking, . . . seeking, . . . knocking: The rendering “keep on” expresses the continuous action indicated by the Greek verb form used here and shows the need for perseverance in prayer. The use of three verbs indicates intensity. Jesus makes a similar point in his illustration at Lu 11:5-8.
