"That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life what you will eat or what you will drink or about your body what you will wear. Life is more than food, isn't it, and the body more than clothing?

And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies in the field and how they grow. They don't work or spin yarn,

"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

He asked them, "Why are you afraid, you who have little faith?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

But Jesus, knowing what they were thinking, replied, "Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts?

The Pharisees saw this and asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

Then John's disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples don't fast?"

If I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followers drive them out? That is why they will be your judges!

Then the disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do you speak to people in parables?"

That's why I speak to them in parables, because "they look but don't see, and they listen but don't hear or understand.'

Then he told them, "That is why every scribe who has been trained for the kingdom from heaven is like the master of a household who brings both new and old things out of his treasure chest."

told his servants, "This is John the Baptist! He has been raised from the dead, and that's why these miracles are being done by him."

At once Jesus reached out his hand, caught him, and asked him, "You who have so little faith, why did you doubt?"

"Why do your disciples disregard the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands when they eat."

But he answered them, "Why do you also disregard the commandment of God because of your tradition?

Knowing this, Jesus asked them, "You who have little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you don't have any bread?

So the disciples asked him, "Why, then, do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"

"That is why the kingdom from heaven may be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants.

and said, "That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one flesh'?

They asked him, "Why, then, did Moses order us "to give a certificate of divorce and divorce her'?"

Jesus asked him, "Why ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you want to get into that life, you must keep the commandments."

About five o'clock he went out and found some others standing around. He asked them, "Why are you standing here all day long without work?'

They began discussing this among themselves: "If we say, "From heaven,' he will ask us, "Then why didn't you believe him?' But if we say, "From humans,' we are afraid of the crowd, because everyone regards John as a prophet."

That is why I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce fruit for it.

Recognizing their wickedness, Jesus asked, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites?

"That is why I am sending you prophets, wise men, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will whip in your synagogues and persecute from town to town.

Here's why: I was hungry, and you gave me nothing to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me nothing to drink.

But when the disciples saw this, they became irritated and said, "Why this waste?

But knowing this, Jesus asked them, "Why are you bothering the woman? She has done a beautiful thing for me.

Jesus asked him, "Friend, why are you here?" Then the other men surged forward, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! Why do we still need witnesses? Listen! You yourselves have just heard the blasphemy!

That is why that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day.

About three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eli, eli, lema sabachthani?", which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

"Let's go to the neighboring town," he replied, "so I can preach there, too, because that's why I came."

"Why does this man talk this way? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

At once, Jesus knew in his spirit what they were saying to themselves. "Why are you arguing about such things among yourselves?" he asked them.

When the scribes and the Pharisees saw him eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples, "Why does he eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees would fast regularly. Some people came and asked Jesus, "Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples fast, but your disciples don't fast?"

The Pharisees asked him, "Look! Why are they doing what is not lawful on Sabbath days?"

He asked them, "Why are you such cowards? Don't you have any faith yet?"

While he was still speaking, some people came from the synagogue leader's home and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?"

He entered the house and asked them, "Why all this confusion and crying? The child isn't dead. She's sleeping."

King Herod heard about this, because Jesus' name had become well-known. He was saying, "John the Baptist has been raised from the dead! That's why he is able to do these miracles."

So the Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders? Instead, they eat with unclean hands."

He sighed deeply in his spirit and remarked, "Why do those living today demand a sign? I tell all of you with certainty, no sign will be given to this generation."

Knowing this, Jesus asked them, "Why are you discussing the fact that you don't have any bread? Don't you understand or perceive yet? Are your hearts hardened?

He told them, "Elijah is indeed coming first and will restore all things. Why, then, is it written that the Son of Man must suffer a great deal and be treated shamefully?

When Jesus came home, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive the spirit out?"

That's why "a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife,

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "Nobody is good except for one God.

If anyone asks you, "Why are you doing this?,' say, "The Lord needs it,' and he will send it back here at once."

That is why I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.

They began discussing this among themselves. "If we say, "From heaven,' he'll say, "Then why didn't you believe him?'

Seeing through their hypocrisy, Jesus replied to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it."

Irritated, some who were there asked one another, "Why was the perfume wasted like this?

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a beautiful thing for me,

Then the high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we still need witnesses?" he asked.

"Why?" Pilate asked them. "What has he done wrong?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

At three o'clock, Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?")

Meanwhile, the people kept waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed in the sanctuary so long.

Why should this happen to me, to have the mother of my Lord visit me?

When Jesus' parents saw him, they were shocked. His mother asked him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been worried sick looking for you!"

He asked them, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I had to be in my Father's house?"

Because Jesus knew that they were arguing, he asked them, "Why are you arguing about this among yourselves?

The Pharisees and their scribes started complaining to Jesus' disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

Some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what isn't lawful on Sabbath days?"

"If you love those who love you, what thanks do you deserve? Why, even sinners love those who love them.

"Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?

"Why do you keep calling me "Lord, Lord,' but don't do what I tell you?

That's why I didn't presume to come to you. But just say the word, and let my servant be healed,

So I'm telling you that her sins, as many as they are, have been forgiven, and that's why she has shown such great love. But the one to whom little is forgiven loves little."

When the woman saw that she couldn't hide, she came forward trembling. Bowing down in front of him, she explained in the presence of all the people why she had touched Jesus and how she had been instantly healed.

If I drive out demons by Beelzebul, by whom do your own followers drive them out? That is why they will be your judges!

That is why the Wisdom of God said, "I will send them prophets and apostles. They will kill some of them and persecute others,'

Why, even all the hairs on your head have been counted! Stop being afraid. You are worth more than a bunch of sparrows."

Then Jesus told his disciples, "That's why I'm telling you to stop worrying about your life what you will eat or about your body what you will wear,

So if you can't do a small thing like that, why worry about other things?

"Why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?

So he told the gardener, "Look here! For three years I've been coming to look for fruit on this tree but I haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it waste the soil?'

"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him. "Nobody is good except for one God.

Then why didn't you put my money in the bank? When I returned, I could have collected it with interest.'

If anyone asks you why you are untying it, say this: "The Lord needs it.'"

While they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

They discussed this among themselves: "If we say, "From heaven,' he will ask, "Then why didn't you believe him?'

He asked them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep on praying that you may not be tempted."

"Why do we need any more testimony?" they asked. "We have heard it ourselves from his own mouth!"

While the women remained terrified, bowing their faces to the ground, the men asked them, "Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is living?

But Jesus told them, "What's frightening you? And why are you doubting?

They asked him, "Why, then, are you baptizing if you are not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?"

It is the bridegroom who gets the bride, yet the bridegroom's friend, who merely stands by and listens for him, is overjoyed to hear the bridegroom's voice. That's why this joy of mine is now complete.

At this point his disciples arrived, and they were astonished that he was talking to a woman. Yet no one said, "What do you want from her?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

So he said, "That's why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."

Moses gave you the Law, didn't he? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

Then the officers returned to the high priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

So the Jewish leaders were asking, "He isn't going to kill himself, is he? Is that why he said, "You cannot come where I'm going'?"

That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, for unless you believe that I AM, you'll die in your sins."

Why don't you understand what I've said? It's because you can't listen to my words.

Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me?

That's why his parents said, "He is of age. Ask him."
