“This is why I tell you: Don’t worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing?

And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don’t labor or spin thread.

Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye?

But He said to them, “Why are you fearful, you of little faith?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea. And there was a great calm.

But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts?

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

Then John’s disciples came to Him, saying, “Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but Your disciples do not fast?”

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

“This is John the Baptist!” he told his servants. “He has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

Immediately Jesus reached out His hand, caught hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?”

“Why do Your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they don’t wash their hands when they eat!”

He answered them, “And why do you break God’s commandment because of your tradition?

Aware of this, Jesus said, “You of little faith! Why are you discussing among yourselves that you do not have bread?

Why is it you don’t understand that when I told you, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees,’ it wasn’t about bread?”

So the disciples questioned Him, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

Then the disciples approached Jesus privately and said, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

“Why then,” they asked Him, “did Moses command us to give divorce papers and to send her away?”

“Why do you ask Me about what is good?” He said to him. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

Then about five he went and found others standing around, and said to them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day doing nothing?’

Where did John’s baptism come from? From heaven or from men?”

They began to argue among themselves, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say to us, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

But perceiving their malice, Jesus said, “Why are you testing Me, hypocrites?

[“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You devour widows’ houses and make long prayers just for show. This is why you will receive a harsher punishment.]

This is why I am sending you prophets, sages, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will flog in your synagogues and hound from town to town.

This is why you also must be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.

When the disciples saw it, they were indignant. “Why this waste?” they asked.

But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering this woman? She has done a noble thing for Me.

“Friend,” Jesus asked him, “why have you come?”

Then they came up, 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? Look, now you’ve heard the blasphemy!

Then he said, “Why? What has He done wrong?”

But they kept shouting, “Crucify Him!” all the more.

About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Elí, Elí, lemá sabachtháni?” that is, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

And He said to them, “Let’s go on to the neighboring villages so that I may preach there too. This is why I have come.”

“Why does He speak like this? He’s blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

Right away Jesus understood in His spirit that they were thinking like this within themselves and said to them, “Why are you thinking these things in your hearts?

When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. People came and asked Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

The Pharisees said to Him, “Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

Then He said to them, “Why are you fearful? Do you still have no faith?”

While He was still speaking, people came from the synagogue leader’s house and said, “Your daughter is dead. Why bother the Teacher anymore?”

He went in and said to them, “Why are you making a commotion and weeping? The child is not dead but asleep.”

King Herod heard of this, because Jesus’ name had become well known. Some said, “John the Baptist has been raised from the dead, and that’s why supernatural powers are at work in him.”

Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, “Why don’t Your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders, instead of eating bread with ritually unclean hands?”

But sighing deeply in His spirit, He said, “Why does this generation demand a sign? I assure you: No sign will be given to this generation!”

Aware of this, He said to them, “Why are you discussing that you do not have any bread? Don’t you understand or comprehend? Is your heart hardened?

Then they began to question Him, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

After He went into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.

If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here right away.’”

They began to argue among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Then why didn’t you believe him?’

Should we pay, or should we not pay?”

But knowing their hypocrisy, He said to them, “Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.”

But some were expressing indignation to one another: “Why has this fragrant oil been wasted?

Then Jesus said, “Leave her alone. Why are you bothering her? She has done a noble thing for Me.

Then the high priest tore his robes and said, “Why do we still need witnesses?

Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What has He done wrong?”

But they shouted, “Crucify Him!” all the more.

And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

When His parents saw Him, they were astonished, and His mother said to Him, “Son, why have You treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for You.”

“Why were you searching for Me?” He asked them. “Didn’t you know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”

But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus replied to them, “Why are you thinking this in your hearts?

But the Pharisees and their scribes were complaining to His disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is not lawful on the Sabbath?”

“Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but don’t notice the log in your own eye?

“Why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and don’t do the things I say?

That is why I didn’t even consider myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be cured.

Therefore I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; that’s why she loved much. But the one who is forgiven little, loves little.”

If then you’re not able to do even a little thing, why worry about the rest?

Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why don’t you know how to interpret this time?

“Why don’t you judge for yourselves what is right?

He told the vineyard worker, ‘Listen, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it even waste the soil?’

“Why do you call Me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good but One—God.

why didn’t you put my money in the bank? And when I returned, I would have collected it with interest!’

If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’”

As they were untying the young donkey, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”

They discussed it among themselves: “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will say, ‘Why didn’t you believe him?’

“Why are you sleeping?” He asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation.”

“Why do we need any more testimony,” they said, “since we’ve heard it ourselves from His mouth?”

A third time he said to them, “Why? What has this man done wrong? I have found in Him no grounds for the death penalty. Therefore, I will have Him whipped and then release Him.”

So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.

“Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men.

“Why are you troubled?” He asked them. “And why do doubts arise in your hearts?

So they asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you aren’t the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?”

Just then His disciples arrived, and they were amazed that He was talking with a woman. Yet no one said, “What do You want?” or “Why are You talking with her?”

This is why the Jews began trying all the more to kill Him: Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

He said, “This is why I told you that no one can come to Me unless it is granted to him by the Father.”

Didn’t Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill Me?”

Then the temple police came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why haven’t you brought Him?”

Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to My word.

Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe Me?

The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

This is why his parents said, “He’s of age; ask him.”

“I already told you,” he said, “and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples too, do you?”

This is why the Father loves Me, because I am laying down My life so I may take it up again.

Many of them were saying, “He has a demon and He’s crazy! Why do you listen to Him?”

“Why wasn’t this fragrant oil sold for 300 denarii and given to the poor?”

This is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard He had done this sign.

“Now My soul is troubled. What should I say—Father, save Me from this hour? But that is why I came to this hour.

This is why they were unable to believe, because Isaiah also said:

For He knew who would betray Him. This is why He said, “You are not all clean.”

None of those reclining at the table knew why He told him this.

“Lord,” Peter asked, “why can’t I follow You now? I will lay down my life for You!”

Everything the Father has is Mine. This is why I told you that He takes from what is Mine and will declare it to you.

Why do you question Me? Question those who heard what I told them. Look, they know what I said.”

“If I have spoken wrongly,” Jesus answered him, “give evidence about the wrong; but if rightly, why do you hit Me?”
