Jesus also questioned him. "What is your name?" He said. "Legion," he replied, "for there are a host of us."

So the Pharisees and Scribes put the question to Him: "Why do your disciples transgress the traditions of the Elders, and eat their food with unclean hands?"

But He remained silent, and gave no reply. A second time the High Priest questioned Him. "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?" he said.

So Pilate questioned Him. "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.

They, however, did not understand what He meant, and were afraid to question Him.

Presently a party of Pharisees come to Him with the question--seeking to entrap Him, "May a man divorce his wife?"

Indoors the disciples began questioning Jesus again on the same subject.

"And I will put a question to you," replied Jesus; "answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Then came to Him a party of Sadducees, a sect which denies that there is any Resurrection; and they proceeded to question Him.

Perceiving that the Scribe had answered wisely Jesus said to him, "You are not far from the Kingdom of God." No one from that time forward ventured to put any question to Him.
