Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. Matthew 6:6 But thou, when thou prayest <4336>, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray <4336> to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray <4336>, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Acts 8:15 Who, when they were come down, prayed <4336> for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: Acts 9:11 And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the street which is called Straight, and enquire in the house of Judas for one called Saul, of Tarsus: for, behold, he prayeth <4336>, Acts 9:40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed <4336>; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise.

Luke 9:45 But they understood not this saying, and it was hid from them, that they perceived it not: and they feared to ask <2065> him of that saying. Luke 11:37 And as he spake, a certain Pharisee besought <2065> him to dine with him: and he went in, and sat down to meat. Luke 14:18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse.

Luke 16:27 Then he said, I pray <2065> thee therefore, father, that thou wouldest send him to my father’s house: Luke 19:31 And if any man ask <2065> you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. Luke 20:3 And he answered and said unto them, I will <2065> also ask <2065> you one thing; and answer me: Luke 22:68 And if I also ask <2065> you, ye will not answer me, nor let me go. John 1:19 And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask <2065> him, Who art thou? John 1:21 And they asked <2065> him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet?

John 8:7 So when they continued asking <2065> him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 9:2 And his disciples asked <2065> him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? John 9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked <2065> him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. John 9:19 And they asked <2065> them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? John 9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask <2065> him: he shall speak for himself. John 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask <2065> him. John 12:21 The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired <2065> him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus. John 14:16 And I will pray <2065> the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; John 16:5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh <2065> me, Whither goest thou? John 16:19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask <2065> him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me? John 16:23 And in that day ye shall ask <2065> me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. John 16:26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray <2065> the Father for you: John 16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask <2065> thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. John 17:9 I pray <2065> for them: I pray <2065> not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. John 17:15 I pray <2065> not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. John 17:20 Neither pray I <2065> for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; John 18:19 The high priest then asked <2065> Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. John 19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought <2065> Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. John 19:38 And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought <2065> Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus. Acts 3:3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked <2065> an alms. Acts 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they <2065> him to tarry certain days. Acts 16:39 And they came and besought them, and brought them out, and desired <2065> them to depart out of the city. Acts 18:20 When they desired <2065> him to tarry longer time with them, he consented not; Acts 23:18 So he took him, and brought him to the chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called me unto him, and prayed me <2065> to bring this young man unto thee, who hath something to say unto thee. Acts 23:20 And he said, The Jews have agreed to desire <2065> thee that thou wouldest bring down Paul to morrow into the council, as though they would enquire somewhat of him more perfectly. Philippians 4:3 And I intreat <2065> thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech <2065> you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 1 Thessalonians 5:12 And we beseech <2065> you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech <2065> you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray <2065> for it. 2 John 1:5 And now I beseech <2065> thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.

John 8:7 So when they continued asking <2065> him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. John 9:2 And his disciples asked <2065> him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? John 9:15 Then again the Pharisees also asked <2065> him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.

John 9:21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask <2065> him: he shall speak for himself. John 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask <2065> him.

Philippians 4:3 And I intreat <2065> thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellowlabourers, whose names are in the book of life. 1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech <2065> you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 1 Thessalonians 5:12 And we beseech <2065> you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 2 Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech <2065> you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray <2065> for it. 2 John 1:5 And now I beseech <2065> thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
