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

Pilate asked them, "Why? What has he done wrong?" But they shouted more insistently, "Crucify him!"

Around three o'clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

Now the people were waiting for Zechariah, and they began to wonder why he was delayed in the holy place.

When his parents saw him, they were overwhelmed. His mother said to him, "Child, why have you treated us like this? Look, your father and I have been looking for you anxiously."

But he replied, "Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know that I must be in my Father's house?"

When Jesus perceived their hostile thoughts, he said to them, "Why are you raising objections within yourselves?

But the Pharisees and their experts in the law complained to his disciples, saying, "Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?"

But some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?"

Why do you see the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own?

"Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and don't do what I tell you?

That is why I did not presume to come to you. Instead, say the word, and my servant must be healed.

When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.

So if you cannot do such a very little thing as this, why do you worry about the rest?

"And why don't you judge for yourselves what is right?

So he said to the worker who tended the vineyard, 'For three years now, I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree, and each time I inspect it I find none. Cut it down! Why should it continue to deplete the soil?'

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

Why then didn't you put my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have collected it with interest?'

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' just say, 'The Lord needs it.'"

As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying that colt?"

So they discussed it with one another, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

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

Then they said, "Why do we need further testimony? We have heard it ourselves from his own lips!"

A third time he said to them, "Why? What wrong has he done? I have found him guilty of no crime deserving death. I will therefore flog him and release him."

The women were terribly frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among the dead?

Then he said to them, "Why are you frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?

So they asked John, "Why then are you baptizing if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"

Jesus replied, "Woman, why are you saying this to me? My time has not yet come."

Now at that very moment his disciples came back. They were shocked because he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, "What do you want?" or "Why are you speaking with her?"

Hasn't Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill me?"

But if a male child is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why didn't you bring him back with you?"

Why don't you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept my teaching.

Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?

He answered, "I told you already and you didn't listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You people don't want to become his disciples too, do you?"

This is why the Father loves me -- because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.

Many of them were saying, "He is possessed by a demon and has lost his mind! Why do you listen to him?"

"Why wasn't this oil sold for three hundred silver coins and the money given to the poor?"

(Now none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas.

Peter said to him, "Lord, why can't I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you!"

Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what is mine and will tell it to you.

Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said. They know what I said."

Jesus replied, "If I have said something wrong, confirm what is wrong. But if I spoke correctly, why strike me?"

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

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

and said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking up into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come back in the same way you saw him go into heaven."

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

who said by the Holy Spirit through your servant David our forefather, 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot foolish things?

But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back for yourself part of the proceeds from the sale of the land?

Peter then told her, "Why have you agreed together to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out!"

The next day Moses saw two men fighting, and tried to make peace between them, saying, 'Men, you are brothers; why are you hurting one another?'

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

So Peter went down to the men and said, "Here I am, the person you're looking for. Why have you come?"

Therefore when you sent for me, I came without any objection. Now may I ask why you sent for me?"

"Men, why are you doing these things? We too are men, with human natures just like you! We are proclaiming the good news to you, so that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and everything that is 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 ancestors nor we have been able to bear?

So then some were shouting one thing, some another, for the assembly was in confusion, and most of them did not know why they had met together.

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

Why do you people think it is unbelievable that God raises the dead?

When we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? You are hurting yourself by kicking against the goads.'

For if by my lie the truth of God enhances his glory, why am I still actually being judged as a sinner?

And why not say, "Let us do evil so that good may come of it"? -- as some who slander us allege that we say. (Their condemnation is deserved!)

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

But who indeed are you -- a mere human being -- to talk back to God? Does what is molded say to the molder, "Why have you made me like this?"

Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but (as if it were possible) by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

But you who eat vegetables only -- why do you judge your brother or sister? And you who eat everything -- why do you despise your brother or sister? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?

Do you not know that we will judge angels? Why not ordinary matters!

The fact that you have lawsuits among yourselves demonstrates that you have already been defeated. Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be cheated?

I do not mean yours but the other person's. For why is my freedom being judged by another's conscience?

If I partake with thankfulness, why am I blamed for the food that I give thanks for?

That is why many of you are weak and sick, and quite a few are dead.

Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?

Why too are we in danger every hour?

Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the descendant to whom the promise had been made. It was administered through angels by an intermediary.

Now, brothers and sisters, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted? In that case the offense of the cross has been removed.

If you have died with Christ to the elemental spirits of the world, why do you submit to them as though you lived in the world?

But here is why I was treated with mercy: so that in me as the worst, Christ Jesus could demonstrate his utmost patience, as an example for those who are going to believe in him for eternal life.

In fact this is why we work hard and struggle, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of believers.

not like Cain who was of the evil one and brutally murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his deeds were evil, but his brother's were righteous.

But the angel said to me, "Why are you astounded? I will interpret for you the mystery of the woman and of the beast with the seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
