And why should you worry about clothes? Look at the wild lilies and learn how they grow. They do not toil or spin;

Why do you keep watching the tiny speck in your brother's eye, but pay no attention to the girder in your own?

And He said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you with little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said, "Why do you have such wicked thoughts in your hearts?

And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax-collectors and notorious sinners?"

Then John's disciples went up to Him, and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees practice fasting, but your disciples do not?"

If not, why did you go out there? To see a prophet?

Then His disciples came up to Him and asked, "Why do you speak to them in stories?"

This is why I am speaking to them in stories, because they look but do not see, they listen but do not really hear or understand.

and said to his attendants, "This is John the Baptist. He has risen from the dead, and that is why the powers are at work through him."

Jesus at once put out His hand and caught hold of him, and said to him, "O you of little faith! Why did you waver so?"

"Why do your disciples break the rules handed down by our forefathers? For they do not practice washing their hands when they take their meals."

But He answered, "Why do you too break God's command for the sake of the rules that have been handed down to you?

Jesus knew it and said, "Why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? Have you so little faith?

The disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

After that the disciples came to Jesus and privately asked, "Why is it we could not drive it out?"

Then they asked Him, "Why did Moses command us to give a written divorce charge, and in this way to divorce a wife?"

And He answered him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only One who is perfectly good. But if you want to get into that life, you must practice keeping the commandments."

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

Where did John's baptism come from? From heaven, or from men?" They argued it out among themselves in this way, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

"This, I tell you, is why the kingdom will be taken away from you, and given to a people who will pay a fair rent for it.

But Jesus saw their malicious plot, and so asked, "Why are you testing me so, you hypocrites?

When the disciples saw it, they were very indignant, and said, "Why such waste?

But Jesus, because He understood them, said to them, "Why do you embarrass the woman? She has done a good deed to me,

He asked, "Why, what has He done that is wrong?" But they kept on shouting louder and louder, "Have Him crucified!"

About three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God! My God! why have you forsaken me?"

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

"Why is He talking this way? He is blaspheming. Who can forgive sins but God alone?"

Now Jesus at once felt in His spirit that they were arguing about this, and said, "Why are you arguing to yourselves about this?

And when the scribes who belonged to the Pharisees' party saw that He was eating with notorious sinners and tax-collectors, they said to His disciples, "Why does He eat with tax-collectors and notorious sinners?"

Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were keeping a fast. So some people came and asked Him, "Why do John's disciples and the Pharisees' disciples practice fasting, but yours never do?"

So the Pharisees were saying to Him, "Just look! Why are they doing on the Sabbath what it is against the law to do?"

Then He asked them, "Why are you afraid? Have you no faith yet?"

Even while He was saying this, people came from the house of the leader of the synagogue and said, "Your daughter is dead; why trouble the Teacher any longer?"

And He went into the house and said to them, "Why do you continue all this confusion and crying? The little girl is not dead but is sleeping."

King Herod heard of Him, for His name was now on everybody's lips, and people were saying that John the Baptist had risen from the dead, and that this was why such mighty powers were working in Him.

And so the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why is it that your disciples do not practice the customs handed down from our forefathers, but eat their meals without purifying their hands?"

But He sighed in spirit and said, "Why do the people of these times ask for a spectacular sign? I solemnly say, no sign at all will be given them."

And as He noticed it He said to them, "Why are you discussing the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet know nor understand? Are your minds so dull?

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

Then He asked them, "Why are you arguing with them?"

When Jesus got home and was by Himself, His disciples were asking Him, "Why could not we drive it out?"

And Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me perfectly good? No one is perfectly good but God Himself.

And if anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' answer, 'The Lord needs it, and will soon send it back here.'"

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

Should we pay it, or should we not?" Now because He saw their pretense, He said to them, "Why are you testing me so? Bring me a twenty-cent coin to look at."

But some of the guests were indignantly saying to themselves, "Why was such a waste of the perfume made?

But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you embarrass her? She has done a good deed to me.

Then Pilate again asked, "Why, what has He done that is wrong?" But they shouted at the top of their voices, "Crucify Him!"

And at three o'clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani?" which means, "My God! my God! why have you forsaken me?"

Meanwhile the people kept waiting for Zechariah and wondering why he stayed so long in the sanctuary.

Why is this privilege mine, to have the mother of my Lord come to me?

When His parents saw Him, they were utterly amazed, and yet His mother said to Him, "My child, why did you treat us so? Just see how your father and I, in agony of mind, have been searching for you!"

Then He said to them, "Why is it that you were searching for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?"

Jesus saw that they were arguing, and answered them: "Why are you arguing so in your hearts?

Now the Pharisees and their scribes were grumbling at His disciples, and were saying, "Why are you eating and drinking with tax-collectors and notorious sinners?"

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

Now if you practice loving only those who love you, what credit do you get for that? Why, even notorious sinners practice loving those who love them.

Why do you continue to look at the tiny speck in your brother's eye, but pay no attention to the heavy girder in your own eye?

"So why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' but do not practice what I tell you?

When the woman saw that she had not escaped His notice, she came forward trembling, and falling down before Him she told in the presence of all the people why she had touched Him and how she had been cured at once.

This is why the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill, and some they will persecute';

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

Why do you not of yourselves decide what is right?

So he said to the vine-dresser, 'Look here! for three years I have been coming to look for figs on this fig tree, and have not found any. Cut it down. Why waste the ground with it?'

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

So why did you not put my money into the bank? In that case, when I came back I could have gotten interest on my principal.'

And if anyone asks you why you are untying it, you are to answer, 'The Lord needs it.'"

And while 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?'

Then He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep praying that you may not be subjected to temptation."

Then a third time he spoke to them, "Why, what wrong has He done? I have found nothing in Him deserving the death penalty. So I will flog Him and let Him go."

Because the women were so frightened and were turning their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking among the dead for Him who is alive?

But He said to them, "Why are you so disturbed and why are doubts arising in your hearts?

so they asked him, "Why are you baptizing then, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?"

Just then His disciples came up, and they were surprised to find Him talking with a woman, yet not one of them asked Him, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

This is why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He persisted in doing such things on the Sabbath.

So He continued, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me, unless it is granted to him by my Father."

Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one of you is keeping that law. If so, why are you trying to kill me?"

So the officers went back to the high priests and Pharisees. The latter asked the officers, "Why have you not brought Him?"

Then the Jews began to say, "He is not going to kill Himself, is He? Is that why He said, 'Where I am going you can never come'?"

Then they asked Him, "Who are you anyway?" Jesus answered them, "Why do I even talk to you at all?

Why is it that you misunderstand what I say? It is because you cannot listen to what I teach.

Who of you can prove me guilty of sin? But if I do tell you the truth, why do you not believe me?

Whoever is sprung from God listens to what God says. This is why you do not listen to me: you are not sprung from God."

This is why his parents said, "He is of age, ask him."

He answered them, "I have already told you and you would not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples, do you?"

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

Many of them said, "He is under the power of a demon and is going crazy. Why are you listening to Him?"

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

This is why the crowd went out to meet Him, because they had heard that He had performed this wonder-work.

For He knew who was going to betray Him; this is why He said, "You are not all clean."

Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow you right now? I will lay down my life for you."

Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said to Him, "Why is it, Lord, that you are going to make yourself real to us and not to the world?"

Everything that the Father has is mine; this is why I have told you, 'He will take the things that are mine and tell them to you.'

So why are you questioning me? Ask those who heard what I told them. Of course, they know what I said."

Jesus answered him, "If I have said anything wrong, on oath tell what it is, but if what I have said is true, why do you slap 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? Whom are you looking for?" Because she supposed it was the gardener, she said to Him, "If it was you, sir, who carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will remove Him."

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