# General Information:
Jesus is talking to a group of people about what they as individuals should or should not do. The instances of "you" and "your" are all plural. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-you]])
# Ask ... Seek ... Knock
These are metaphors for praying to God. The verb form shows that we are to keep praying until he answers. If your language has a form for continuing to do something over and over, use it here. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
