'Answer' in the Bible

Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question. Answer me and I will tell you by what authority I do these things:

John's baptism -- was it from heaven or from people? Answer me."

Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is this that they are testifying against you?"

But he was silent and did not answer. Again the high priest questioned him, "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?"
