'Answering' in the Bible

But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man.

And Simon, answering, said, Make prayer for me to the Lord, so that these things which you have said may not come on me.

And when they had come to an end, James, answering, said, My brothers, give ear to me:

And the evil spirit, answering, said to them, I have knowledge of Jesus, and of Paul, but who are you?

And I, answering, said, Who are you; Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are attacking.
