'Asking' in the Bible

The Pharisees followed Him and began to dispute with Him, asking Him for a sign in the sky, to make trial of Him.

So they kept the matter to themselves, although frequently asking one another what was meant by the rising from the dead.

"You know not," said He, "what you are asking. Are you able to drink out of the cup from which I am to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?"

They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one, "Not I, is it?"

So the people came crowding up, asking Pilate to grant them the usual favour.
