Here Christ represents the petitioner as asking that he may give again. He must obtain the bread, else he cannot supply the necessities of a weary, belated wayfarer. Though his neighbor is unwilling to be troubled, he will not desist his pleading; his friend must be relieved; and at last his importunity is rewarded, his wants are supplied.

Her fremstiller Kristus den bedende, der beder for at kunne give til andre. Han må have brødet, ellers kan han ikke stille en træt, forsinket vejfarendes behov Skønt naboen ikke ønsker at blive besværet, holder han ikke op med at bede; hans ven må mættes, og til sidst bliver hans påtrængenhed belønnet; han får hvad han behøver
