And why do you see the speck [that is] in your brother's eye, but do not notice the beam of wood in your [own] eye?

And 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.

And knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?

And [when they] saw [it], the Pharisees began to say to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

Then the disciples of John approached him, saying, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but your disciples do not fast?"

But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and even more than a prophet!

And the disciples came up [and] said to him, "{Why} do you speak to them in parables?"

And immediately Jesus extended his hand [and] caught 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 do not wash their hands when they eat {a meal}."

So he answered [and] said to them, "Why do you also break the commandment of God because of your tradition?

But knowing [this], Jesus said, "Why are you discussing among yourselves that you did not take bread, [you] of little faith?

And the disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

Then the disciples approached Jesus privately [and] said, {Why} were we not able to expel it?"

They said to him, "Why then did Moses command [us] to give a document--a certificate of divorce--and to divorce her?"

And he said to him, "Why are you asking me about [what is] good? There is one [who is] good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments!"

And about the eleventh [hour] he went out [and] found others standing [there] and said to them, 'Why are you standing here the whole day unemployed?'

From where was the baptism of John--from heaven or from men?" And they began to discuss [this] among themselves, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But [because he] knew their maliciousness, Jesus said, "Hypocrites! Why are you testing me?

And [when] the disciples saw [it] they were indignant, saying, "{Why} this waste?

But Jesus, knowing [this], said to them, "Why do you cause trouble for the woman? For she has done a good deed for me.

And he said, "Why? What wrong has he done?" But they began to shout even louder, saying, "Let him be crucified!"

And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (that is, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?")

"Why does this man speak like this? He is blaspheming! Who is able to forgive sins except God alone?"

And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they were reasoning like this within themselves, said to them, "Why are you considering these [things] in your hearts?

And the scribes of the Pharisees, [when they] saw that he was eating with sinners and tax collectors, began to say to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?"

And John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting, and they came and said to him, "{Why} do the disciples of John and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?"

And the Pharisees began to say to him, "Behold, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?"

And he said to them, "Why are you fearful? Do you not yet have faith?"

[While] he was still speaking, they came from the synagogue ruler's [house] saying, "Your daughter has died. Why trouble the Teacher further?"

And [when he] entered, he said to them, "Why are you agitated and weeping? The child is not dead, but is sleeping."

And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with unclean hands?"

And sighing deeply in his spirit, he said, "Why does this generation demand a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation!"

And knowing [this], he said to them, "Why are you discussing that you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Have your hearts been hardened?

And they asked him, saying, "{Why do} the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

And [after] he had entered into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why were we not able to expel it?"

So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one [is] good except God alone.

And if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' say 'The Lord has need of it, and will send it here again at once.'"

And they began to discuss [this] with one another, saying, "What should we say? If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why then did you not believe him?'

But [because he] knew their hypocrisy, he said to them, "Why are you testing me? Bring me a denarius so that I can look at [it]!"

But some were expressing indignation to one another: "Why has there been this waste of perfumed oil?

But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you cause trouble for her? She has done a good deed to me.

And Pilate said to them, "Why? What evil has he done?" But they shouted even louder, "Crucify him!"

And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which is translated, "My God, my God, {why} have you forsaken me?")

And why [is] this [granted] to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

And [when they] saw him, they were astounded and his mother said to him, "Child, why have you done this to us? Look, your father and I have been searching for you anxiously!"

And he said to them, "{Why} were you searching for me? Did you not know that it was necessary [for] me to be in the [house] of my Father?"

But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, answered [and] said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?

And the Pharisees and their scribes began to complain to his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with the tax collectors and sinners?"

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?

And why do you see the speck [that is] in your brother's eye, but do not notice the beam of wood [that is] in your own eye?

"And why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I tell [you]?

If then you are not even able [to do] a very little thing, why are you anxious about the rest?

And why do you not also judge for yourselves [what is] right?

So he said to the gardener, 'Behold, {for three years} I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree and did not find [any]. Cut it down! Why should it even exhaust the soil?'

And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one [is] good except God alone.

And why did you not give my money to the bank, and I, [when I] returned, would have collected it with interest?'

And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying [it]?' you will say this: 'The Lord has need of it.'"

And [as] they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, 'Why are you untying the colt?'

And they discussed [this] with one another, saying, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up [and] pray that you will not enter into temptation!"

And they said, "Why do we have need [of] further testimony? For [we] ourselves have heard [it] from his mouth!"

So he said to them a third [time], "Why? What wrong has this man done? I found no basis for an accusation {deserving death} in him. Therefore I will punish him [and] release [him]."

And [as] they were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking for the living among the dead?

And he said to them, "Why are you frightened? And for what [reason] do doubts arise in your hearts?

And they asked him and said to him, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

And at this [point] his disciples came, and they were astonished that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you seek?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you carries out the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

So the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, "{Why} did you not bring him?"

{Why} do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message.

Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, {why} do you not believe me?

He replied to them, "I told you already and you did not listen! Why do you want to hear [it] again? You do not want to become his disciples also, [do you]?"

And many of them were saying, "He has a demon and is out of his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

"{Why} was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?"

Peter said to him, "Lord, why am I not able to follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, why is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

Why are you asking me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them! Behold, these [people] know what I said."

Jesus replied to him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify about what [is] wrong! But if [I have spoken] correctly, why do you strike me?"

And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him!"

Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She thought that it was the gardener, [and] said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him."

who also said, "Men {of Galilee}, why do you stand there looking into the sky? This Jesus who was taken up from you into heaven like this will come back in the same way you saw him departing into heaven!"

And [when he] saw [it], Peter replied to the people, "Men [and] Israelites, why are you astonished at this? Or why are you staring at us, as [if] by our own power or godliness we have made him walk?

the one who said by the Holy Spirit through the mouth of our father David, your servant, 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples conspire in vain?

And on the following day, he made an appearance to them [while they] were fighting and was attempting to reconcile them in peace, saying, 'Men [and] brothers, why are you doing wrong to one another?'

And falling to the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"

and saying, "Men, why are you doing these [things]? We also are men with the same nature as you, proclaiming the good news [that] you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all the things [that are] in them--

So now why are you putting God to the test [by] placing on the neck of the disciples a yoke that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?

So some were shouting [one thing] [and] some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and the majority did not know {why} they had assembled.

and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?'

And now why are you delaying? Get up, be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on his name!'

But on the next day, [because he] wanted to know the true [reason] why he was being accused by the Jews, he released him and ordered the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin to assemble, and he brought down Paul [and] had [him] stand before them.

Why is it thought incredible by you [people] that God raises the dead?

And [when] we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Aramaic language, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? [It is] hard for you to kick against the goads!'

But if by my lying, the truth of God abounded to his glory, why am I also still condemned as a sinner?

And [why] not (as we are slandered, and as some affirm that we say), "Let us do evil, in order that good may come [of it]? Their condemnation is just!

Therefore you will say to me, "Why then does he still find fault? For who has resisted his will?

On the contrary, O man, who are you who answers back to God? Will what is molded say to the one who molded [it], "Why did you make me like this"?

Why that? Because [they did] not [pursue it] by faith, but as [if] by works. They stumbled over the {stone that causes people to stumble},

But why do you judge your brother? Or also, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

For who concedes you [superiority]? And what do you have that you did not receive? But if indeed you received [it], why do you boast as [if you] did not receive [it]?
