Τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν, ὃν ἐὰν αἰτήσῃ ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; καὶ ἐὰν ἰχθὺν αἰτήσῃ, μὴ ὄφιν ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ; Εἰ δὲ ὑμεῖς πονηροὶ ὄντες οἴδατε δόματα ἀγαθὰ διδόναι τοῖς τέκνοις ὑμῶν, πολλῷ μᾶλλον ὁ Πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς δώσει ἀγαθὰ τοῖς αἰτοῦσιν αὐτόν», δεικνὺς ὅτι ὅσον πονηρίας καὶ ἀγαθότητος τὸ μέσον, τοσοῦτον ἡ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀγαθότης τῆς τῶν πατέρων κηδεμονίας ἐστὶν ἀνωτέρα.
