'Asked' in the Bible
Then Jesus turned round, and seeing them following He asked them, "What is your wish?" "Rabbi," they replied--'Rabbi' means 'Teacher' --"where are you staying?"
"How do you know me?" Nathanael asked. "Before Philip called you," said Jesus, "when you were under the fig-tree I saw you."
So the Jews asked Him, "What proof of your authority do you exhibit to us, seeing that you do these things?"
"How is it possible," Nicodemus asked, "for a man to be born when he is old? Can he a second time enter his mother's womb and be born?"
Presently there came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus asked her to give Him some water;
"If you had known God's free gift," replied Jesus, "and who it is that said to you, 'Give me some water,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."
Just then His disciples came, and were surprised to find Him talking with a woman. Yet not one of them asked Him, "What is your wish?" or "Why are you talking with her?"
When however the Samaritans came to Him, they asked Him on all sides to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.
Jesus saw him lying there, and knowing that he had been a long time in that condition, He asked him, "Do you wish to have health and strength?"
"Who is it," they asked, "that said to you, 'Take up your mat and walk'?"
So when they had crossed the Lake and had found Him, they asked Him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?"
"What are we to do," they asked, "in order to carry out the things that God requires?"
"What miracle then," they asked, "do you perform for us to see and become believers in you? What do you *do*?
But, knowing in Himself that His disciples were dissatisfied about it, Jesus asked them,
Jesus therefore appealed to the Twelve. "Will you go also?" He asked.
Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
"Does our Law," he asked, "judge a man without first hearing what he has to say and ascertaining what his conduct is?"
"Do you also come from Galilee?" they asked in reply. "Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin."
They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.
"Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."
"You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus.
So His disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned--this man or his parents--that he was born blind?"
And there was a division among them. So again they asked the once blind man, "What is your account of him? --for he opened your eyes." "He is a Prophet," he replied.
The Jews, however, did not believe the statement concerning him--that he had been blind and had obtained his sight--until they called his parents and asked them,
"What did he do to you?" they asked; "how did he open your eyes?"
Jesus heard that they had done this. So having found him, He asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of God?"
These words were heard by those of the Pharisees who were present, and they asked Him, "Are *we* also blind?"
though deeply troubled, asked them, "Where have you laid him?" "Master, come and see," was their reply.
But others of them asked, "Was this man who opened the blind man's eyes unable to prevent this man from dying?"
Therefore the High Priests and the Pharisees held a meeting of the Sanhedrin. "What steps are we taking?" they asked one another; "for this man is performing a great number of miracles.
They therefore looked out for Jesus, and asked one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? --will he come to the Festival at all?"
So he, having his head on Jesus's bosom, leaned back and asked, "Master, who is it?"
"Master," asked Peter again, "why cannot I follow you now? I will lay down my life on your behalf.
So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that 'little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words."
As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness.
Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.
Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are *you* the King of the Jews?"
"What is your origin?" he asked. But Jesus gave him no answer.
"Do you refuse to speak even to me?" asked Pilate; "do you not know that I have it in my power either to release you or to crucify you?"
This caused a storm of outcries, "Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!" "Am I to crucify your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king, except Caesar," answered the High Priests.
After this, Joseph of Arimathaea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but for fear of the Jews a secret disciple, asked Pilate's permission to carry away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. So he came and removed the body.
They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him."
"Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him."
When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these others do?" "Yes, Master," was his answer; "you know that you are dear to me." "Then feed my lambs," replied Jesus.
Again a second time He asked him, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" "Yes, Master," he said, "you know that you are dear to me." "Then be a shepherd to my sheep," He said.
A third time Jesus put the question: "Simon, son of John, am I dear to you?" It grieved Peter that Jesus asked him the third time, "Am I dear to you?" "Master," he replied, "you know everything, you can see that you are dear to me." "Then feed my much-loved sheep," said Jesus.
Peter turned round and noticed the disciple whom Jesus loved following--the one who at the supper had leaned back on His breast and had asked, "Master, who is it that is betraying you?"
On seeing him, Peter asked Jesus, "And, Master, what about him?"
