It matters very little to me that you or any human court should cross-question me on this point. I do not even cross-question myself;

Now about the questions in your letter. It is an excellent thing for a man to have no intercourse with a woman;

So let no one take you to task on questions of eating and drinking or in connexion with the observance of festivals or new moons or sabbaths.

let your talk always have a saving salt of grace about it, and learn how to answer any question put to you.

(And there is no question that it is the inferior who is blessed by the superior.)

Whoever of you is defective in wisdom, let him ask God who gives to all men without question or reproach, and the gift will be his.

Eat any food that has been sold in the market, instead of letting scruples of conscience oblige you to ask any questions about it;

When an unbeliever invites you to dinner and you agree to go, eat whatever is put before you, instead of letting scruples of conscience induce you to ask any questions about it.

But if someone tells you, 'This was sacrificial meat,' then do not eat it; you must consider the man who told you, and also take conscience into account ??29 his conscience, I mean, not your own; for why should one's own freedom be called in question by someone else's conscience?

This censure from the majority is severe enough for the individual in question,

They questioned him, "Who was it that told you, 'Lift it and walk'?"

but as they persisted with their question, he raised himself and said to them, "Let the innocent among you throw the first stone at her";

After he had gone away, the scribes and Pharisees commenced to follow him up closely and cross-question him on many points,

That same day some Sadducees came up to him, men who hold there is no resurrection. They put this question to him:

and one of them, a jurist, put a question in order to tempt him.

As the Pharisees had mustered, Jesus put a question to them.

No one could make any answer to him, and from that day no one ventured to put another question to him.

Jesus replied, "Well, I will ask you a question, and if you answer me, then I will tell you what authority I have for acting as I do.

And on that day you will not ask me any questions. Truly, truly I tell you, whatever you ask the Father, he will give you in my name;

Now we are sure you know everything, and need no one to put questions to you. This makes us believe you have come forth from God."

Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.

Peter turned round and saw that the favourite disciple of Jesus was following, the disciple who had leant on his breast at supper and put the question, "Lord, who is to betray you?"

Then the Pharisees and scribes put this question to him, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders? Why do they take their food with 'common' hands?"

He answered them, "Well, I will ask you a question. Tell me,

They put this question to him, "Teacher, we know you are straight in what you say and teach, you do not look to human favour but teach the Way of God honestly.

Some of the Sadducees came up, who deny any resurrection, and put a question to him.

They no longer dared to put any question to him.

So they put this question to him, "Why do the [Pharisees and] scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

Jesus said to them, "I am going to ask you a question. Answer this, and I will tell you what authority I have for acting as I do.

But they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to him for the purpose of catching him with a question.

Sadducees, men who hold there is no resurrection, also came up and put a question to him.

Then a scribe came up, who had listened to the discussion. Knowing Jesus had given them an apt answer, he put this question to him, "What is the chief of all the commands?"

Jesus noted his intelligent answer and said to him, "You are not far off the Realm of God." After that no one ventured to put any more questions to him.

and you will not answer me when I put a question to you.

He said nothing and made no answer. Again the high priest put a question to him. "Are you the Christ?" he said, "the Son of the Blessed?"

As a sharp dispute and controversy sprang up between them and Paul and Barnabas, it was arranged that Paul and Barnabas, along with some others of their number, should go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and presbyters at Jerusalem about this question.

The apostles and the presbyters met to investigate this question,

But though he put many questions to him, Jesus gave him no answer.

But as these are merely questions of words and persons and your own Law, you can attend to them for yourselves. I decline to adjudicate upon matters like that."

All this is beyond question. So you should keep calm and do nothing reckless.

Three days later they found him in the temple, seated among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions,

The questions at issue referred to their own religion and to a certain Jesus who had died. Paul said he was alive.

Now a dispute arose between John's disciples and a Jew over the question of 'purification';

for you are well acquainted with all Jewish customs and questions. Pray listen to me then with patience.

The disciples questioned him about the meaning of the parable;

You see, it is not a question of human will or effort but of the divine mercy.

for, although I am not conscious of having anything against me, that does not clear me. It is the Lord who cross-questions me on the matter.
