'Began' in the Bible

So the disciples began questioning one another. "Can it be," they said, "that some one has brought Him something to eat?"

Instantly the man was restored to perfect health, and he took up his mat and began to walk.

and on this account the Jews began to persecute Jesus--because He did these things on the Sabbath.

Now the Jews began to find fault about Him because of His claiming to be the bread which came down out of Heaven.

Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers)

After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began to say, "This is beyond doubt the Prophet."

They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.

Then He leant forward again, and again began to write on the ground.

The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, 'Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?"

His neighbours, therefore, and the other people to whom he had been a familiar object because he was a beggar, began asking, "Is not this the man who used to sit and beg?"

The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know to which of them He was referring.

Then they began to march up to Him, saying in a mocking voice, "Hail King of the Jews!" And they struck Him with the palms of their hands.

More alarmed than ever, Pilate no sooner heard these words than he re-entered the Praetorium and began to question Jesus.
