6 Bible Verses about Why Does Jesus Do This?

Jesus' disciples came and said to Him, "Why are you speaking to them [i.e., the large crowds] by using parables?"

"Why does this man talk this way? He is speaking against God. Who can forgive sins except one, that is, God?"

And when the experts in the law of Moses, being Pharisees [i.e., a strict sect of the Jewish religion], saw that He was eating with tax collectors and worldly people, they said to His disciples, "Why does Jesus eat and drink with tax collectors and worldly people?"

When His parents [finally] saw Him, they were very surprised and His mother asked Him, "Son, why have you treated us this way? Look, your [step-] father and I have been anxiously searching for you."

Just about then Jesus' disciples returned [from town], and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. [Note: It was not customary for a Jewish male to engage a woman in extended conversation in that day, much less a stranger, and certainly not a Samaritan], yet no one said [to Him], "What are you looking for?" or "Why are you talking to her?"

Now, no one at the table knew why He had said this to him.
