'Answer' in the Bible

He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: “I am not the Messiah.”

And they said to him, What then? Are you Elijah? And he said, I am not. Are you the prophet? And his answer was, I am not.

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

John's answer was: I give baptism with water; but there is one among you of whom you have no knowledge;

Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

In answer Jesus said to him, You have faith because I said to you, I saw you under the fig-tree. You will see greater things than these.

Jesus said in answer, Truly, I say to you, If a man's birth is not from water and from the Spirit, it is not possible for him to go into the kingdom of God.

And this was John's answer: A man is unable to have anything if it is not given to him from heaven.

In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water.

In answer, the woman said, I have no husband. Jesus said to her, You have said rightly, I have no husband:

The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

But his answer was: My Father is still working even now, and so I am working.

So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

Philip made answer, Bread to the value of two hundred pence would not be enough even to give everyone a little.

And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

Then Simon Peter gave this answer: Lord, to whom are we to go? you have the words of eternal life;

Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee.

Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.

The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did.

The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit?

And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

Jesus said in answer, It was not because of his sin, or because of his father's or mother's; it was so that the works of God might be seen openly in him.

His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

And they said to him, Where is he? His answer was: I have no knowledge.

In answer his father and mother said, We are certain that this is our son and that he was blind at birth:

But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

Such was their answer, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already settled among themselves that if any one should acknowledge Jesus as the Christ, he should be excluded from the synagogue.

He said in answer, I have no knowledge if he is a sinner or not, but one thing I am certain about; I was blind, and now I see.

His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

He said in answer, And who is he, Lord? Say, so that I may have faith in him.

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.

In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?

Then Jesus said in answer, Are there not twelve hours in the day? A man may go about in the day without falling, because he sees the light of this world.

And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.

Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

Then the people in answer said to him, The law says that the Christ will have life without end: how say you then that it is necessary for the Son of man to be lifted up? Who is this Son of man?

Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

This was the answer Jesus gave: It is the one to whom I will give this bit of bread after I have put it in the vessel. Then he took the bit of bread, put it into the vessel, and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.

Jesus made answer, Have you faith now?

Their answer was, Jesus the Nazarene. Jesus said, I am he. And Judas, who was false to him, was there at their side.

Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

Then the girl who was the door-keeper said to Peter, Are you not one of this man's disciples? In answer he said, I am not.

Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.

When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

They said to him in answer, If the man was not a wrongdoer we would not have given him up to you.

Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

And the Jews made answer, We have a law, and by that law it is right for him to be put to death because he said he was the Son of God.

And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer.

Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

Upon receiving this answer, Pilate was for releasing Him. But the Jews kept shouting, "If you release this man, you are no friend of Caesar's. Every one who sets himself up as king declares himself a rebel against Caesar."

Then they gave a loud cry, Away with him! away with him! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Am I to put your King to death on the cross? The chief priests said in answer, We have no king but Caesar.

But Pilate made answer, What I have put in writing will not be changed.

And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God!
