Why should you worry about clothing? See how the wild flowers grow. They do not toil or spin,

Why do you keep looking at the speck in your brother's eye, and pay no attention to the beam that is in your own?

And he said to them, "Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!" Then he got up and reproved the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Jesus knew what they were thinking, and he said, "Why do you have such wicked thoughts in your hearts?

And the Pharisees observed it, and they said to his disciples, "Why does your master eat with tax-collectors and irreligious people?"

Then the disciples of John came up to him and said, "Why is it that we and the Pharisees are keeping the fast, while your disciples are not keeping it?"

Then why did you go out there? Was it to see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet!

His disciples came up and said to him, "Why do you speak to them in figures?"

This is why I speak to them in figures, because though they look they do not see, and though they listen they do not hear or understand.

and he said to his attendants, "This man must be John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why wonderful powers are working through him."

Jesus immediately stretched out his hand and caught hold of him, and said to him, "Why did you waver? You have so little faith!"

"Why do your disciples break the rules handed down by our ancestors? For they eat their bread without first washing their hands."

But he answered, "Why do you too break God's command for the sake of what has been handed down to you?

Jesus noticed it and said, "Why are you discussing with one another your being without bread? You have so little faith!

Why do you not see that I was not talking to you about bread? But be on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees!"

The disciples asked him, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

Afterward, when he was alone, the disciples went to Jesus and said to him, "Why could we not drive it out?"

They said to him, "Then why did Moses command us to draw up a written divorce-notice and give it to her?"

But he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. But if you want to enter that life, keep the commandments."

About five he went out and found others standing about and he said to them, 'Why have you been standing about here all day doing nothing?'

Where did John's baptism come from? Was it from heaven, or from men?" And they argued with one another, "If we say, 'It was from heaven,' he will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

"That, I tell you, is why the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a people that will produce its proper fruit.

"Why do you put me to such a test, you hypocrites? Show me the poll-tax coin!" And they brought him a denarius.

This is why I am going to send you prophets, wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and hunt from one town to another;

But Jesus observed this and said to them, "Why do you bother the woman? It is a fine thing that she has done to me.

He said, "Why, what has he done that is wrong?" But they shouted all the louder, "Have him crucified!"

And about three, Jesus called out loudly, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" that is, "My God! My God! Why have you forsaken me?"

He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the neighboring country towns, so that I may preach in them, too, for that is why I came out here."

"Why does this man talk so? This is blasphemy. Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

Jesus, at once perceiving by his spirit that they were pondering over this, said to them, "Why do you ponder over this in your minds?

And when the scribes who were of the Pharisees' party saw that he was eating with irreligious people and tax-collectors, they said to his disciples, "Why does he eat with tax-collectors and irreligious people?"

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast. And people came and asked him, "Why is it that when John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees are keeping the fast, yours are not keeping it?"

And the Pharisees said to him, "Look! Why are they doing what it is against the law to do on the Sabbath?"

And he said to them, "Why are you afraid? Have you still no faith?"

Even as he spoke people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead. Why should you trouble the Master any further?"

King Herod heard of him, for his name was now well known, and people were saying that John the baptizer had risen from the dead, and that that was why he was endowed with these extraordinary powers.

And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, "Why do your disciples not observe the rules handed down by our ancestors, but eat food without purifying their hands?"

And he sighed deeply and said, "Why do the men of this day ask for a sign? I tell you, no sign will be given them."

And he noticed it and said to them, "Why do you discuss your being without bread? Do you not yet see nor understand? Are your minds so dull?

And they asked him, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

Why, I tell you, not only has Elijah come, but people have treated him just as they pleased, as the Scripture says about him."

When he had gone home, and his disciples were alone with him, they asked him, "Why could not we drive it out?"

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

And if anybody says to you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Master needs it, and will send it back here directly.' "

And they argued with one another, "If we say, 'It was from heaven,' he will say, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

Should we pay it, or refuse to pay it?" But he saw through their pretense, and said to them, "Why do you put me to such a test? Bring me a denarius to look at."

And they grumbled at her. But Jesus said, "Leave her alone. Why do you bother her? It is a fine thing that she has done to me.

And Pilate said to them, "Why, what has he done that is wrong?" But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

And at three o'clock Jesus called out loudly, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"

When his parents saw him they were amazed, and his mother said to him. "My child, why did you treat us like this? Here your father and I have been looking for you, and have been very anxious."

And the Pharisees and their scribes grumbled about it to his disciples, and said, "Why do you eat and drink with tax-collectors and irreligious people?"

And some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you do what it is against the Law to do on the Sabbath?"

Why do you keep looking at the speck in your brother's eye, and pay no attention to the beam that is in your own?

Why do you call me: 'Lord! Lord!' and not do what I tell you?

That is why I did not think I was fit to come to you. But simply say the word, and have my servant cured.

When the woman saw that she had not escaped his notice, she came forward trembling, and fell down before him, and before all the people told why she had touched him, and how she had been cured at once.

This is why the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send prophets and apostles to them, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute'??50 so that this age may be charged with the blood of all the prophets that has been shed since the creation of the world,

So if you cannot do the least good, why should you worry about the rest?

You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the look of the earth and sky; and why can you not interpret this present time?

Why do you not decide what is right yourselves?

And he said to the gardener, 'Here I have come three years to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any. Cut it down. Why should it waste the ground?'

and eager to satisfy his hunger with what was thrown away from the rich man's table. Why, the very dogs came and licked his sores.

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

Then why did you not put my money in the bank, so that when I came back I could have gotten it with interest?'

And if anyone asks you why you are untying it, you are to say, 'The Master needs it.'

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

And they argued with one another, and said, "If we say 'From heaven,' he will say, 'Why did you not believe him?'

And he said to them, "Why are you asleep? Get up, and pray that you may not be subjected to trial!"

And he said to them a third time, "Why, what has he done that is wrong? For I have found nothing about him to call for his death. So I will teach him a lesson and let him go."

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

But we were hoping that he was to be the deliverer of Israel. Why, besides all this, it is three days since it happened.

But he said to them, "Why are you so disturbed, and why do doubts arise in your minds?

Just then his disciples came back, and they were surprised to find him talking with a woman, yet no one of them asked him what he wanted or why he was talking with her.

This was why the Jews used to persecute Jesus, because he did things like this on the Sabbath.

And he added, "This is why I said to you, 'No one can come to me unless he is enabled to do so by the Father.' "

Was it not Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

The attendants went back to the high priests and Pharisees, and they said to the attendants, "Why have you not brought him?"

Why, in your own Law it is stated that the testimony of two persons is valid.

So the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself, and is that why he says, 'You cannot come where I am going'?"

That is why I said to you that you would die in the midst of your sins, for unless you believe that I am what I say, you will die in the midst of your sins."

"Why do I even talk to you at all? I have a great deal to say about you and to condemn in you, yet he who sent me is truthful, and the things that I say to the world are things that I have learned from him."

Why is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

Who among you can prove me guilty of sin? But if I tell you the truth, why do you refuse to believe me?

That was why his parents said, "He is grown up; you must ask him."

He answered, "I have already told you and you would not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you want to become disciples of his too?"

This is why the Father loves me, because I am giving my life, but giving it to take it back again.

Many of them said, "He is possessed and mad! Why do you listen to him?"

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

That was why the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard that he had showed that sign.

For he knew who was going to betray him; that was why he said, "You are not all of you clean."

Peter said to him, "Master, why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you."

They will exclude you from their synagogues; why, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is doing religious service to God.

All that the Father has belongs to me. That is why I said that he will take what is mine and communicate it to you.

His disciples said, " Why, now you are talking plainly and not speaking figuratively at all.

Why, a time is coming??t has already come!??hen you will all be scattered to your homes and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

Why do you question me? Ask those who have heard me what it was that I said to them. They will know what I have said."

Jesus replied, "If I have said anything wrong, testify to it; but if what I have said is true, why do you strike me?"

And they said to her, "Why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken my Master away, and I do not know where they have put him."

Jesus said to her, "Why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "If it was you, sir, that carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

and said to them, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up into the sky? This very Jesus who has been caught up from you into heaven will come in just the way that you have seen him go up to heaven."
