And their next question was: "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor yet 'the Prophet'?"

At this moment his disciples came up, and were surprised to find him talking with a woman; but none of them asked 'What do you want?' or 'Why are you talking with her?'

Do not you say that it still wants four months to harvest? Why, look up, and see how white the fields are for harvest!

And that was why the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because he did things of this kind on the Sabbath.

And he added: "This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless enabled by the Father."

Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?"

But that is why Moses has instituted circumcision among you- -not, indeed, that it began with him, but with our ancestors--and that is why you circumcise even on a Sabbath.

When the officers returned to the Chief Priests and Pharisees, they were asked: "Why have you not brought him?"

Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.

"Who are you?" they asked. "Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?" said Jesus.

Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then do not you believe me, if I am speaking truth?

He who comes from God listens to God's teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God."

This was why his parents said 'He is old enough; ask him.'

"I told you just now," he answered, "and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Surely you also do not want to become his disciples?"

This is why the Father loves me, because I lay down my life- -to receive it again.

Many of them said: "He is possessed by a demon and is mad; why do you listen to him?"

"Why was not this perfume sold for thirty pounds, and the money given to poor people?"

This, indeed, was why the crowd met him--because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.

So the Pharisees said to one another: "You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!"

The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words--

For he knew who was going to betray him, and that was why he said 'You are not all clean.'

But no one at table understood why he said this to Judas.

"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" asked Peter. "I will lay down my life for you."

If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own. Because you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world--that is why the world hates you.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.

Why question me? Question those who have listened to me as to what I have spoken about to them. They must know what I said."

"If I said anything wrong, give evidence about it," replied Jesus; "but if not, why do you strike me?"

"Why are you weeping?" asked the angels. "They have taken my Master away," she answered, "and I do not know where they have laid him."

"Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" he asked. Supposing him to be the gardener, Mary answered: "If it was you, Sir, who carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away myself."
