'Answer' in the Bible

Jesus answered them, “I will also ask you one question, and if you answer it for Me, then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

No one was able to answer Him at all, and from that day no one dared to question Him anymore.

“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink?

“And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

“Then they too will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or without clothes, or sick, or in prison, and not help You?’

“Then He will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me either.’

The high priest then stood up and said to Him, “Don’t You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?”

And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He didn’t answer.

But He didn’t answer him on even one charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed.
