Discovery BoxMatthew 7:11 
Context7:11 If you then, although you are evil, 1 know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts 2 to those who ask him!
Matthew 21:32
Context21:32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe. Although 3 you saw this, you did not later change your minds 4 and believe him.
1 tn The participle ὄντες (ontes) has been translated concessively.
2 sn The provision of the good gifts is probably a reference to the wisdom and guidance supplied in response to repeated requests. The teaching as a whole stresses not that we get everything we want, but that God gives the good that we need.
3 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
4 sn The word translated change your minds is the same verb used in v. 29 (there translated had a change of heart). Jesus is making an obvious comparison here, in which the religious leaders are viewed as the disobedient son.
