When the scribes of the Pharisees saw that He was eating with sinners and tax collectors, they asked His disciples, “Why does He eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

A Question about Fasting

Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. People came and asked Him, “Why do John’s disciples and the Pharisees’ disciples fast, but Your disciples do not fast?”

A crowd was sitting around Him and told Him, “Look, Your mother, Your brothers, and Your sisters are outside asking for You.”

Why Jesus Used Parables

When He was alone with the Twelve, those who were around Him asked Him about the parables.

And they were terrified and asked one another, “Who then is this? Even the wind and the sea obey Him!”

“What is your name?” He asked him. “My name is Legion,” he answered Him, “because we are many.”

When Herodias’s own daughter came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his guests. The king said to the girl, “Ask me whatever you want, and I’ll give it to you.”

So he swore oaths to her: “Whatever you ask me I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

Then she went out and said to her mother, “What should I ask for?” “John the Baptist’s head!” she said.

And He asked them, “How many loaves do you have? Go look.” When they found out they said, “Five, and two fish.”

Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, “Why don’t Your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders, instead of eating bread with ritually unclean hands?”

When He went into the house away from the crowd, the disciples asked Him about the parable.

Now the woman was Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to drive the demon out of her daughter.

“How many loaves do you have?” He asked them. “Seven,” they said.

He took the blind man by the hand and brought him out of the village. Spitting on his eyes and laying His hands on him, He asked him, “Do you see anything?”

Peter’s Confession of the Messiah

Jesus went out with His disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the road He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?”

“But you,” He asked them again, “who do you say that I am?” Peter answered Him, “You are the Messiah!”

Then He asked them, “What are you arguing with them about?”

Wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, grinds his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I asked Your disciples to drive it out, but they couldn’t.”

“How long has this been happening to him?” Jesus asked his father. “From childhood,” he said.

After He went into a house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”

But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

Who is the Greatest?

Then they came to Capernaum. When He was in the house, He asked them, “What were you arguing about on the way?”

Some Pharisees approached Him to test Him. They asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

The Rich Young Ruler

As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
