Discovery BoxLuke 11:10 
Context11:10 For everyone who asks 1 receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks, the door 2 will be opened.
Luke 12:36
Context12:36 be like people 3 waiting for their master to come back from the wedding celebration, 4 so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him.
1 sn The actions of asking, seeking, and knocking are repeated here from v. 9 with the encouragement that God does respond.
2 tn Grk “it”; the referent (a door) is implied by the context and has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn That is, like slaves (who are mentioned later, vv. 37-38), although the term ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") is used here. Since in this context it appears generic rather than gender-specific, the translation “people” is employed.
4 sn An ancient wedding celebration could last for days (Tob 11:18).
