'Answer' in the Bible

and from inside he answers, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’

Once the head of the house gets up and closes the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door [again and again], saying, ‘Lord, open to us!’ then He will answer you, ‘I do not know where you are from [for you are not of My household].’

Jesus replied, “I will also ask you a question. You tell Me:

But if we say, ‘From men,’ all the people will stone us to death, for they are firmly convinced that John was a prophet.”

So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves;

and if I ask a question, you will not answer.
