Again they questioned him. "Why then do you baptize," they said, "if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"

I did not yet know Him; but that He may be openly shown to Israel is the reason why I have come baptizing in water."

Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

So He added, "That is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it be granted him by the Father."

Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?"

Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"

That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen."

Which of *you* convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

He who is a child of God listens to God's words. You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are not God's children."

That was why his parents said, "He is of full age: ask him himself."

"I have told you already," he replied, "and you did not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also mean to be disciples of his?"

"Why, this is marvellous!" the man replied; "you do not know where he comes from, and yet he has opened my eyes!

Many of them said, "He is possessed by a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to him?"

"Why was not that perfume sold for 300 shillings and the money given to the poor?"

This was also why the crowd came to meet Him, because they had heard of His having performed that miracle.

For He knew who was betraying Him, and that was why He said, "You are not all of you clean."

But why He said this no one else at the table understood.

"Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make it known to you.

Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."

"If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"

They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him."

"Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him."
