'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.

The baptism of John -- was it from heaven, or from men? Answer me."

Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.

The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer? What is it which these testify against you?"

Pilate again asked him, "Have you no answer? See how many things they testify against you!"

But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate marveled.
