John 211-10
21After these things Jesus showed himself again
to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias and he
showed himself in this way. 2Gathered there
together were Simon Peter, Thomas called the
Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of
Zebedee, and two others of his disciples. 3Simon
Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They
said to him, We will go with you. They went out
and got into the boat, but that night they caught
nothing. 4 Just after daybreak, Jesus stood on
the beach but the disciples did not know that it
was Jesus. 5Jesus said to them, Children, you
have no fish, have you? They answered him, No.
6He said to them, Cast the net to the right side
of the boat, and you will find some. So they
cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in
because there were so many fish. 7That disciple
whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord!
When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he
put on some clothes, for he was naked, and jumped
into the lake. 8But the other disciples came in
the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they
were not far from the land, only about a hundred
yards off. 9 When they had gone ashore, they
saw a charcoal fire there, with fish on it, and
bread. 10Jesus said to them, Bring some of the
fish that you have just caught.

• Luke 111-10
•  
• He was praying in a certain place, and after
  he had finished, one of his disciples said to
  him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his
  disciples." 2He said to them, "When you pray,
  say Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom
  come. 3Give us each day our daily bread. 4And
  forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive
  everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to
  the time of trial." 5And he said to them,
  "Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to
  him at midnight and say to him, 'Friend, lend me
  three loaves of bread 6for a friend of mine has
  arrived, and I have nothing to set before him.'
  7And he answers from within, 'Do not bother me
  the door has already been locked, and my children
  are with me in bed I cannot get up and give you
  anything.' 8I tell you, even though he will not
  get up and give him anything because he is his
  friend, at least because of his persistence he
  will get up and give him whatever he needs. 9"So
  I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you
  search, and you will find knock, and the door
  will be opened for you. 10For everyone who asks
  receives, and everyone who searches finds, and
  for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
