'Answer' in the Bible

He did not refuse to answer, but he declared: “I am not the Messiah.”

“Who are you, then?” they asked. “We need to give an answer to those who sent us. What can you tell us about yourself?”

When He had said these things, one of the temple police standing by slapped Jesus, saying, “Is this the way you answer the high priest?”

He went back into the headquarters and asked Jesus, “Where are You from?” But Jesus did not give him an answer.
