Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, and if you tell me the answer, then I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

Jesus Before Pilate

Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” Jesus said, “You have said so.”

And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.”

For when Herodias's daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. And the king said to the girl, “Ask me for whatever you wish, and I will give it to you.”

And he vowed to her, “Whatever you ask me, I will give you, up to half of my kingdom.”

And she came in immediately with haste to the king and asked, saying, “I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”

And he asked them, “How many loaves do you have?” They said, “Seven.”

And he took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village, and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, “Do you see anything?”

And he asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered him, “You are the Christ.”

And he asked them, “What are you arguing about with them?”

And whenever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams and grinds his teeth and becomes rigid. So I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they were not able.”

The Rich Young Man

And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came up to him and said to him, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask of you.”

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question; answer me, and I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And after that no one dared to ask him any more questions.

And the high priest stood up in the midst and asked Jesus, “Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you?”

But he remained silent and made no answer. Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

And Pilate asked him, “Are you the King of the Jews?” And he answered him, “You have said so.”

And Pilate again asked him, “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.”
