And why are you worried about clothes? See how the lilies and wildflowers of the field grow; they do not labor nor do they spin [wool to make clothing],

Why do you look at the [insignificant] speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice and acknowledge the [egregious] log that is in your own eye?

He said to them, “Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was [at once] a great and wonderful calm [a perfect peacefulness].

But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts?

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked His disciples, “Why does your Master eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Then the disciples of John [the Baptist] came to Jesus, asking, “Why do we and the Pharisees often fast [as a religious exercise], but Your disciples do not fast?”

Then the disciples came to Him and asked, “Why do You speak to the crowds in parables?”

and said to his attendants, “This is John the Baptist; he has been raised from the dead, and that is why the miraculous powers are at work in him.”

Immediately Jesus extended His hand and caught him, saying to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

“Why do Your disciples violate the tradition (religious laws) handed down by the [Jewish] elders? For Your disciples do not [ceremonially] wash their hands before they eat.”

He replied to them, “Why also do you violate the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition [handed down by the elders]?

But Jesus, aware of this, said, “You men of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves that you have no bread?

The disciples asked Him, “Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked, “Why could we not drive it out?”

Jesus answered, “Why are you asking Me about what is [essentially] good? There is only One who is [essentially] good; but if you wish to enter into eternal life, keep the commandments.”

And about the eleventh hour (5:00 p.m.) he went out and found others standing around, and he said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day?’

But Jesus, aware of their malice, asked, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

But Jesus, aware [of the malice] of this [remark], said to them, “Why are you bothering the woman? She has done a good thing to Me.

And he said, “Why, what has He done that is evil?” But they continued shouting all the louder, “Let Him be crucified!”

About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud [agonized] voice, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
