ગુજરાતીલૂક ૧૧:૭
તો શું, તે અંદરથી ઉત્તર આપતાં એમ કહેશે કે, મને હેરાન કરીશ નહિ, હમણાં બારણું બંધ છે, મારાં છોકરાં મારી પાસે ખાટલામાં છે, હું તો ઊઠીને તને તે આપી શકતો નથી?
हिन्दीलूका ११:७
और वह भीतर से उत्तर देता, कि मुझे दुःख न दे; अब तो द्वार बन्द है, और मेरे बालक मेरे पास बिछौने पर हैं, इसलिए मैं उठकर तुझे दे नहीं सकता।

In context

5He said to them, “Which of you, if you go to a friend at midnight and tell him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves of bread,

6for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him,’

7and he from within will answer and say, ‘Don’t bother me. The door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed. I can’t get up and give it to you’?

8I tell you, although he will not rise and give it to him because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence, he will get up and give him as many as he needs.

9“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.
