'Answer' in the Bible

The answer marked Jerusalem appears in his right hand, indicating that he should set up battering rams, give the order to slaughter, raise a battle cry, set battering rams against the gates, build a ramp, and construct a siege wall.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied to the king, “Nebuchadnezzar, we don’t need to give you an answer to this question.

At the beginning of your petitions an answer went out, and I have come to give it, for you are treasured by God. So consider the message and understand the vision:

For the stones will cry out from the wall,and the rafters will answer themfrom the woodwork.

I will strengthen the house of Judahand deliver the house of Joseph.I will restore thembecause I have compassion on them,and they will beas though I had never rejected them.For I am Yahweh their God,and I will answer them.

If someone asks him: What are these wounds on your chest?—then he will answer: I received the wounds in the house of my friends.

I will put this third through the fire;I will refine them as silver is refinedand test them as gold is tested.They will call on My name,and I will answer them.I will say: They are My people,and they will say: Yahweh is our God.”

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.

Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; then answer Me, and I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.

Was John’s baptism from heaven or from men? Answer Me.”

Then the high priest stood up before them all and questioned Jesus, “Don’t You have an answer to what these men are testifying against You?”

But He kept silent and did not answer anything. Again the high priest questioned Him, “Are You the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”

But Jesus still did not answer anything, so Pilate was amazed.

To this they could find no answer.

They were not able to catch Him in what He said in public, and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.

And if I ask you, you will not answer.

So he kept asking Him questions, but Jesus did not answer him.

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.

He knocked at the door in the gateway, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer.

Your speech should always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you should answer each person.
