'Asked' in the Bible

So he assembled all the High Priests and Scribes of the people, and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born.

At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"

And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.

(And His disciples came and asked Him, "Why do you speak to them in figurative language?"

"Have you understood all this?" He asked. "Yes," they said.

that with an oath he promised to give her whatever she asked.

"Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"

"How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said, "and a few small fish."

Here the Pharisees and Sadducees came to Him; and, to make trial of Him, they asked Him to show them a sign in the sky.

When He arrived in the neighbourhood of Caesarea Philippi, Jesus questioned His disciples. "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?" He asked.

"But you, who do you say that I am?" He asked again.

"Why then," asked the disciples, "do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked Him, "Why could not we expel the demon?"

After their arrival at Capernaum the collectors of the half-shekel came and asked Peter, "Does not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?"

Just then the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Who ranks higher than others in the Kingdom of the Heavens?"

"Which Commandments?" he asked. Jesus answered, "'Thou shalt not kill;' 'Thou shalt not commit adultery;' 'Thou shalt not steal;' 'Thou shalt not lie in giving evidence;'

These words utterly amazed the disciples, and they asked, "Who then can be saved?"

And going out about five o'clock he found others loitering, and he asked them, "'Why have you been standing here all day long, doing nothing?'

"What is it you desire?" He asked. "Command," she replied, "that these my two sons may sit one at your right hand and one at your left in your Kingdom."

So Jesus stood still and called to them. "What shall I do for you?" He asked.

"Do you hear," they asked Him, "what these children are saying?" "Yes," He replied; "have you never read, 'Out of the mouths of infants and of babes at the breast Thou hast brought forth the praise which is due'?"

He entered the Temple; and while He was teaching, the High Priests and the Elders of the people came to Him and asked Him, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you this authority?"

"Whose likeness and inscription," He asked, "is this?"

and one of them, an expounder of the Law, asked Him as a test question,

"How then," He asked, "does David, taught by the Spirit, call Him Lord, when he says,

Then Judas, the disciple who was betraying Him, asked, "Can it be I, Rabbi?" "It is you," He replied.

Then the High Priest stood up and asked Him, "Have you no answer to make? What is it these men are saying in evidence against you?"

"Do you not hear," asked Pilate, "what a mass of evidence they are bringing against you?"

So when the Governor a second time asked them, "Which of the two shall I release to you?" --they cried, "Barabbas!"

"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they kept on furiously shouting, "Let him be crucified!"

At once perceiving by His spirit that they were reasoning within themselves, Jesus asked them, "Why do you thus argue in your minds?

Then He asked them, "Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil? to save a life, or to destroy one?" They remained silent.

"Why are you so timid?" He asked; "have you still no faith?"

As He was embarking, the man who had been possessed asked permission to accompany Him.

Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"

On the Sabbath He proceeded to teach in the synagogue; and many, as they heard Him, were astonished. "Where did he acquire all this?" they asked. "What is this wisdom that has been given to him? And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?

"Give them food yourselves," He replied. "Are we," they asked, "to go and buy two hundred shillings' worth of bread and give them food?"

"How many loaves have you?" He asked. "Seven," they said.

So He took the blind man by the arm and brought him out of the village, and spitting into his eyes He put His hands on him and asked him, "Can you see anything?"

Then He asked them pointedly, "But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?" "You are the Christ," answered Peter.

They also asked Him, "How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"

"What is the subject you are discussing?" He asked them.

Then Jesus asked the father, "How long has he been like this?" "From early childhood," he said;

After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately, "How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"

So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?"

As He went out to resume His journey, there came a man running up to Him, who knelt at His feet and asked, "Good Rabbi, what am I to do in order to inherit the Life of the Ages?"

"Why do you call me good?" asked Jesus in reply; "there is no one truly good except One--that is, God.

"What would you have me do for you?" He asked.

and asked, "By what authority are you doing these things? and who gave you authority to do them?"

They brought one; and He asked them, "Whose is this likeness and this inscription?" "Caesar's," they replied.

Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"

But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked, "How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?

He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite to the Temple, when Peter, James, John, and Andrew, apart from the others asked Him,

On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?"

So Pilate questioned Him. "Are *you* the King of the Jews?" he asked. "I am," replied Jesus.

Pilate again and again asked Him, "Do you make no reply? Listen to the many charges they are bringing against you."

and when Pilate again asked them, "What then shall I do to the man you call King of the Jews?"

"Why, what crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they vehemently shouted, "Crucify Him!"

"By what proof," asked Zechariah, "shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is far advanced in years."

They asked his father by signs what he wished him to be called.

So he asked for a writing-tablet, and wrote, "His name is John." And they all wondered.

The crowds repeatedly asked him, "What then are we to do?"

There came also a party of tax-gatherers to be baptized, and they asked him, "Rabbi, what are we to do?"

And they all spoke well of Him, wondering at the sweet words of kindness which fell from His lips, while they asked one another, "Is not this Joseph's son?"

All were astonished and awe-struck; and they asked one another, "What sort of language is this? For with authority and real power He gives orders to the foul spirits and they come out."

and going on board one of them, which was Simon's He asked him to push out a little from land. Then He sat down and taught the crowd of people from the boat.

And some of the Pharisees asked, "Why are you doing what the Law forbids on the Sabbath?"

He also spoke to them in figurative language. "Can a blind man lead a blind man?" He asked; "would not both fall into the ditch?

so John called two of his disciples and sent them to the Lord. "Are you the Coming One?" he asked, "or is there another that we are to expect?"

"Where is your faith?" He asked them. But they were filled with terror and amazement, and said to one another, "Who then is this? for He gives orders both to wind and waves, and they obey Him."

"What is your name?" Jesus asked him. "Legion," he replied--because a great number of demons had entered into him;

But the man from whom the demons had gone out earnestly asked permission to go with Him; but He sent him away.

"Who is it touched me?" Jesus asked. And when all denied having done so, Peter and the rest said, "Rabbi, the crowds are hemming you in and pressing on you."

One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"

"But you," He asked, "who do you say that I am?" "God's Anointed One," replied Peter.

Then an expounder of the Law stood up to test Him with a question. "Rabbi," he asked, "what shall I do to inherit the Life of the Ages?"

Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.

"Do you suppose," He asked in reply, "that those Galilaeans were worse sinners than the mass of the Galilaeans, because this happened to them?

when some one asked Him, "Sir, are there but few who are to be saved?"

"When any one invites you to a wedding banquet, do not take the best seat, lest perhaps some more honoured guest than you may have been asked,

So in figurative language He asked them,

Then he called one of the lads to him and asked what all this meant.

"So he called all his master's debtors, one by one, and asked the first, 'How much are you in debt to my master?'

Being asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God was coming, He answered, "The Kingdom of God does not so come that you can stealthily watch for it.

At length Jesus stopped and desired them to bring the man to Him; and when he had come close to Him He asked him,

together with the Elders, and they asked Him, "Tell us, By what authority are you doing these things? And who is it that gave you this authority?"

But He asked them, "How is it they say that the Christ is a son of David?

"Rabbi, when will this be?" they asked Him, "and what will be the token given when these things are about to take place?"

"Where shall we prepare it?" they asked.

Then He asked them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" "No, nothing," they replied.

Those who were about Him, seeing what was likely to happen, asked Him, "Master, shall we strike with the sword?"

As soon as it was day, the whole body of the Elders, both High Priests and Scribes, assembled. Then He was brought into their Sanhedrin, and they asked Him,

Then Pilate asked Him, "You, then, are the King of the Jews?" "It is as you say," He replied.

and now he went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

"What is the subject," He asked them, "on which you are talking so earnestly, as you walk?" And they stood still, looking full of sorrow.

"What things?" He asked. "The things about Jesus the Nazarene," they said, "who was a Prophet powerful in work and word before God and all the people;

But, while they still could not believe it for joy and were full of astonishment, He asked them, "Have you any food here?"

Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
