The Rich Man

Someone came to Jesus with this question: “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?”

“Why ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. But to answer your question—if you want to receive eternal life, keep the commandments.”

“I’ll tell you by what authority I do these things if you answer one question,” Jesus replied.

Discussion about Resurrection

That same day Jesus was approached by some Sadducees—religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question:

Whose Son Is the Messiah?

Then, surrounded by the Pharisees, Jesus asked them a question:

Jesus knew immediately what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you question this in your hearts?

Jesus answered them with a question: “What did Moses say in the law about divorce?”

“I’ll tell you by what authority I do these things if you answer one question,” Jesus replied.

Discussion about Resurrection

Then Jesus was approached by some Sadducees—religious leaders who say there is no resurrection from the dead. They posed this question:

Realizing how much the man understood, Jesus said to him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.” And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Jesus knew what they were thinking, so he asked them, “Why do you question this in your hearts?

Then Jesus said to his critics, “I have a question for you. Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?”

The Most Important Commandment

One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”

As Jesus was leaving, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees became hostile and tried to provoke him with many questions.

The Rich Man

Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”

Whose Son Is the Messiah?

Then Jesus presented them with a question. “Why is it,” he asked, “that the Messiah is said to be the son of David?

He asked Jesus question after question, but Jesus refused to answer.

The High Priest Questions Jesus

Inside, the high priest began asking Jesus about his followers and what he had been teaching them.

Jesus replied, “Is this your own question, or did others tell you about me?”

Jesus repeated the question: “Simon son of John, do you love me?” “Yes, Lord,” Peter said, “you know I love you.” “Then take care of my sheep,” Jesus said.

A third time he asked him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt that Jesus asked the question a third time. He said, “Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Then feed my sheep.

Even that question came up only because of some so-called believers there—false ones, really—who were secretly brought in. They sneaked in to spy on us and take away the freedom we have in Christ Jesus. They wanted to enslave us and force us to follow their Jewish regulations.
