This verse is considered to be a summation of the entire sermon. Some editions append it to the end of Matthew 7:7-11, and the rule does seem to be an expansion on the teaching about prayer in that section. However, the word therefore and the mention of the law and the prophets implies that this is a more far reaching teaching.
Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves. [14] Cross reference: Matthew 21:13, Luke 19:46; Jesus combines quotes from Isaiah 56:7 and Jeremiah 7:11 in Matthew 21:13, [15] which is a parallel verse to this verse and Luke 19:46. Both are from expositions on the nature of ...
Jesus has just condemned the lengthy prayers of the Gentiles, and in this verse states that such prayers are unnecessary as God is aware of a person's desire even before they ask. A similar statement is made at Isaiah 65:24. This raises the question of why prayer is even necessary at all, and this issue has been much discussed by theologians.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Keep seeking, and you will find.
The theological concept is linked with Christian prayer, in which a prostration is called a metanoia, with "the spiritual condition of one's soul being expressed through the physical movement of falling facedown before the Lord" as seen in the biblical passages of Matthew 2:11, Luke 5:12, and Luke 17:15–16.
In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads: And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. The World English Bible translates the passage as:
This verse extends the same observations to God's response to prayer. If a flawed human father looks out for his own child, then there is no reason to doubt that the perfectly good God will not have the best interest of his followers in heart. According to this verse, Jesus calls his hearers Greek: Πονηροὶ, poneroi, "evil".
