"Why be anxious then about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin.

"And why do you look at the mote in your brother's eye, and fail to notice the beam which is in your own eye?

"Why are you afraid?" he said, "you men of little faith!" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there came a great calm.

"Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'?

When the Pharisees saw it, they kept saying to his disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and sinners?"

At that time the disciples of John came and asked him, "Why are we and the Pharisees always fasting, while your disciples are not?"

"But why did you go? To see a prophet? I tell you, yes, and more than a prophet;

"Why do you speak to them in parables?" Jesus answered. "To you it has been granted to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven; but to them it has not been granted.

"This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

"This man is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead. That is why miraculous powers are working through him."

"Why do your disciples keep transgressing the tradition of the elders by not washing their hands before eating?"

"And why do you also keep transgressing the command of God by your tradition?" he asked.

When Jesus knew it he said: "Weaklings in faith! Why are you arguing among yourselves, because you have no bread?

And his disciples asked him, saying, "Why then do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

Thereupon Jesus' disciples came to him and asked him privately, "Why were we not able to cast it out?"

They answered, "Why then did Moses command the husband to give her 'a written bill of divorce,' and so to put her away?"

"Why do you ask me about what is good?" asked Jesus. "There is but One who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."

"When he went out about five o'clock, he found others standing around, and said to them, "'Why have you been standing here idle, all the day long?'

"If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why then did you not believe him?' But if we say, 'From men,' we are afraid of the crowd, for they all regard John as a prophet."

"Hypocrites! Why are you tempting me? Show me the tribute money." So they brought him a shilling.

"Why is this waste? This perfume could have been sold for a good sum, and the money given to the poor."

But when Jesus understood it he said to them. "Why are you annoying the woman? This is a beautiful deed she has done for me;

That is the reason why, to this day, the field is called "The Field of Blood."

But Pilate said, "Why, what evil has he done?" But they kept shouting the more fiercely, "Let him be crucified!"

But at three o'clock Jesus cried out in loud voice, "Eli, Eli, Lama Sabachthani?" (That is to say, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?")

"Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?"

"Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise, take up your cot and walk'?

"Look," said the Pharisees to him, "Why are they doing on the Sabbath Day what is against the law?"

The wind fell, and there ensued a great calm. Then he said to them. "Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?"

While he was still speaking men came from the house of the warden of the synagogue to tell him, "Your daughter is dead, why trouble the Teacher any further?"

"Why all this tumult and loud weeping?" he asked.

So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with 'common' unwashed hands?"

At this Jesus sighed deeply in his spirit, and said: "Why does the present generation seek a sign? In solemn truth I tell you that no sign shall be given this generation."

"Why are you arguing together because you have no bread? Do you not yet perceive and understand?

When Jesus had gone into the house, his disciples asked him in private, "Why could not we cast it out?"

Jesus said to him. "Why do you call me 'good'? No one is good save one, God himself.

And if any man asks you, 'Why are you doing that?" answer, 'The Lord has need of him, and he will immediately send him back.'"

That is why I am telling you that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it shall be yours.

Then they began arguing with one another. "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why then did you not believe him?"

Shall we pay, or not pay?" But he, knowing well their hypocrisy, said to them. "Why are you testing me? Bring me a dollar for me to look at."

Some of those who were present said among themselves indignantly. "Why has the perfume been wasted like this?

So they began upbraiding her, but Jesus said: "Let her alone. Why are you troubling her?

Then the high priest tore his vestments. "Why do we need any further witness?" he exclaimed.

"Why, what wrong has he done?" Pilate kept saying. But they shouted furiously, "Crucify him!"

At three o'clock Jesus cried in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Meanwhile the people were waiting for Zachariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.

"But why is this honor done me, that the mother of my Lord should come me?

When they saw him they were astonished, and his mother said to him "Child, why have you treated us so? Behold your father and I have been looking for you in anguish."

He answered, "Why is it that you have been looking for me, did you not realize that I had to be in my Father's house?"

And the Pharisees and their scribes began complaining to his disciples, saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"

Again they said unto him. "Why do the disciples of John fast frequently, and make supplications, as also do the disciples of the Pharisees, but your disciples are eating and drinking?"

And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what it is not lawful to do on the Sabbath?"

"If you love those who love you what credit is it to you? Why even sinners love those who love them.

"And why do you look at the splinter that is in your brother's eye, but never consider the beam that is in your own eye?

"And why are you calling me Lord, Lord, and not doing what I tell you?

"This is why I tell you that her sins, many as they are, are forgiven, for her love is great; but he who is forgiven little, loves but little.

"If then you cannot do even that which is least, why are you anxious concerning the rest?

"And why do you not, even yourselves, judge what is right?

So he said to the gardener. "'See, for years I have come looking for fruit on this tree, and found none. Cut it down. Why should it actually cumber the ground?'

"Why are you calling me 'good'?" said Jesus to him; "no one is good but God.

Why, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

"'Then why did you not put my money into the bank, so that at my coming I might I might have gotten it back with interest?'

"Untie it and bring it here. And if any one asks you, 'Why are you untying the colt?' Simply say, 'The Master needs it.'"

For as they were untying the colt, the owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"

So they reasoned among themselves. "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask us, 'Why did you not believe in him?'

and said to them. "Why are you asleep? Get up, and pray that you enter not into temptation."

But an hour afterwards another man kept insisting, saying. "Really, this fellow was with him. Why, he is a Galilean."

They were terrified, and bowed down their faces to the ground, but the men said to them. "Why are you seeking him who lives among the dead?

And he said to them. "Why are you disturbed? And why do questions rise in your hearts?

so they questioned him, saying, "Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

Just then his disciples came up, and were astonished that he was talking with a woman; yet not one of them asked him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

So he added, "This is why I told you that no on can come to me unless it be given from the Father."

"Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you seeking to kill me?"

and they asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"

Then the Jews said: "He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?"

"That is why I said that you would die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."

"Which one of you convicts me of sin? Why then, if I am speaking the truth, do you not believe me?

He answered. "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Can it be that you, too, wish to become his disciples?"

Many of them kept saying. "He has a demon and is mad! Why do you listen to him?"

"Why was not this perfume sold for fifty dollars, and the proceeds given to the poor?"

This was why they could not believe, because Isaiah said again.

Now no one at the table understood why he said this to him,

"Why cannot I follow you now, Master?" said Peter. "I will lay down my life for you." Jesus answered him.

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

"Why do you question me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them; these witnesses here know what I said."

Jesus replied "If I have said anything wrong, give evidence concerning the wrong; but if I said what was true, why do you strike me?"

They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She answered, "Because they have taken away my Master, and I do not know where they have laid him."

Jesus said to her. "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have borne him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away, myself."

and they said: "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."

When he saw this, Peter said to the people. "Men of Israel, why are you wondering at this? Why do you stare at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made this man to walk?

"who saidest through the Holy Spirit, by the lips of thy servant David, our forefather. "Why did the Gentiles rage, And the peoples form futile plans?

"Ananias," said Peter, "why has Satan so filled your heart that you are lying to the Holy Spirit, and keeping back part of the price of the land?

"Why was it," said Peter, "that you both agreed to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Lo, the feet of those who buried your husband are at the door, and they shall carry you out."

"Next day he came upon two of them fighting, and tried to make peace between them. "'Sirs,' he said, 'you are brothers. Why are you wronging each other?'

The eunuch answered, "Why, how can I unless someone shall show me the way?" And he begged Philip to get up and sit with him.

He fell to the ground, and heard a voice which said to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?"

"I ask therefore why you sent for me."

"Men, why are you doing all this? We also are men, with natures like your own! We are bringing you good tidings, that you are to turn from these empty things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is.

"Now then, why are you tempting God by laying on the necks of these disciples a yoke which neither our forefathers nor we have been able to bear?

Now some were shouting one thing, some another, for the assembly was in an uproar, and the majority had no idea why they were come together.
