Psalm 115:16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.
Therefore, He asks where man’s will is on the issue.
John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
Mark 10:51 And Jesus answered and said unto him, What wilt thou that I should do unto thee? The blind man said unto him, Lord, that I might receive my sight.
Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Matthew 9:29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
