Excuse my shameless persistence but in an attempt to get some clarification I will add something to my question:
-Can ANAIDEIA mean hopelessness. Then the man in bed gets up because he is the only hope the help his friend out of his predicament. In its application it would mean; if we ask God because, you never know, it might do some good, He will not answer. But if we ask God, knowing that our situation is totally hopeless without His help, He is sure to reply.
-If ANAIDEIAN refers to the man in bed than he gets up to safe face. This does not make the explanation of this parable any easier but that is not a good reason to disregard the possibility(if it IS a possibility.)
Thank you.
Bert.
