And why should you trouble over clothing? Look how the lilies of the field grow; they neither toil nor spin,

Why do you note the splinter in your brother's eye and fail to see the plank in your own eye?

Why, which of you, when asked by his son for a loaf, will hand him a stone?

He said to them, "Why are you afraid? How little you trust God!" Then he got up and checked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.

Jesus saw what they were thinking and said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts?

So when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with taxgatherers and sinners?"

Then the disciples of John came up to him and said, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast a great deal, and your disciples do not fast?"

Come, why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.

Why, how can anyone enter the strong man's house and plunder his goods, unless he first of all binds the strong man? Then he can plunder his house.

Then the disciples came up and said to him, "Why do you speak in parables?"

This is why I speak to them in parables, because for all their seeing they do not see and for all their hearing they do not hear or understand.

And he said to his servants, "This is John the Baptist; he has risen from the dead. That is why miraculous powers are working through him."

Jesus at once stretched his hand out and caught him, saying, "How little you trust me! Why did you doubt?"

"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they take their food."

He replied, "And why do you transgress the command of God with your traditions?

When Jesus noted this he said, "How little trust you have in me! Why all this talk, because you have brought no bread?

Why do you not see that I was not speaking to you about bread? No, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees."

The disciples inquired of him, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and said, "Why could we not cast it out?"

That is why the Realm of heaven may be compared to a king who resolved to settle accounts with his servants.

They said to him, "Then why did Moses lay it down that we were to divorce by giving a separation-notice?"

He said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One alone is good. But if you want to get into Life, keep the commands."

And when he went out at five o'clock he came upon some others who were standing; he said to them, 'Why have you stood doing nothing all the day?'

Where did the baptism of John come from? From heaven or from men?" Now they argued to themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

But Jesus detected their malice. He said, "Why do you tempt me, you hypocrites?

This is why I will send you prophets, wise men, and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, some of whom you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town;

But Jesus was aware of what they said, and he replied, "Why are you annoying the woman? It is a beautiful thing she has done to me.

After a little the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "To be sure, you are one of them too. Why, your accent betrays you!"

That is why the field is called to this day "The Field of Blood."

"Why," said the governor, "what has he done wrong?" But they shouted on more fiercely than ever, "Have him crucified!"

and about three o'clock Jesus gave a loud cry, "Eli, eli, lema sabachthani" (that is, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

but he said to them, "Let us go somewhere else, to the adjoining country-towns, so that I may preach there as well; that is why I came out here."

Conscious at once that they were arguing to themselves in this way, Jesus asked them, "Why do you argue thus in your hearts?

So when some scribes of the Pharisees saw he was eating with sinners and taxgatherers they said to his disciples, "Why does he eat and drink with taxgatherers and sinners?"

As the disciples of John and of the Pharisees were observing a fast, people came and asked him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, and your disciples do not fast?"

Then he said to them, "Why are you afraid like this? Have you no faith yet?"

He was still speaking when a message came from the house of the synagogue-president, "Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the teacher to come any further?"

and on entering he asked them, "Why make a noise and wail? The child is not dead but asleep."

Now this came to the hearing of king Herod, for the name of Jesus had become well known; people said, "John the Baptizer has risen from the dead, that is why miraculous powers are working through him;"

Then the Pharisees and scribes put this question to him, "Why do your disciples not follow the tradition of the elders? Why do they take their food with 'common' hands?"

But he sighed in spirit and said, "Why does this generation demand a Sign? I tell you truly, no Sign shall be given this generation."

He noted this and said to them, "Why do you argue you have no bread? Do you not see, do you not understand, even yet? Are you still dull of heart?

So they put this question to him, "Why do the [Pharisees and] scribes say that Elijah has to come first?"

When he went indoors his disciples asked him in private, "Why could we not cast it out?"

Jesus said to him, "Why call me 'good'? No one is good, no one but God.

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Lord needs it,' and he will send it back immediately."

Now they argued to themselves, "[What are we to say?] If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Then why did you not believe him.'

Are we to pay, or are we not to pay?" But he saw their trick and said to them, "Why tempt me? Bring me a shilling. Let me see it."

But Jesus said, "Let her alone. Why are you annoying her? She has done a beautiful thing to me.

But he denied it again. After a little the bystanders once more said to Peter, "To be sure, you are one of them. Why, you are a Galilean!"

"Why," said Pilate, "what has he done wrong?" But they shouted more fiercely than ever, "Crucify him!"

and at three o'clock Jesus gave a loud cry, "El?i, El?i, lema sabachthanei" (which means, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?)

Why, as soon as the sound of your salutation reached my ears, the babe leapt for joy within my womb.

When his parents saw him they were astounded, and his mother said to him, "My son, why have you behaved like this to us? Here have your father and I been looking for you anxiously!"

"Why did you look for me?" he said, "Did you not know I had to be at my Father's house?"

Conscious that they were arguing to themselves, Jesus addressed them, saying, "Why argue in your hearts?

But the Pharisees and their scribes complained to his disciples, "Why do you eat and drink with taxgatherers and sinners?"

Some of the Pharisees said, "Why are you doing what is not allowed on the sabbath?"

If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? Why, even sinful men love those who love them.

If you help only those who help you, what merit is that to you? Why, even sinful men do that.

Why do you note the splinter in your brother's eye and fail to see the plank in your own eye?

Why call me, 'Lord, Lord!' and obey me not?

So when the woman saw she had not escaped notice, she came trembling, and falling down before him she told before all the people why she had touched him and how she had been instantly cured.

This is why the Wisdom of God said, 'I will send them prophets and apostles, some they will kill and some they will persecute';

and if you cannot manage even this, why trouble over other things?

And why do you not yourselves settle what is right?

So he said to the vinedresser, 'Here have I come for three years in search of fruit on this fig tree without finding any; cut it down, why should it take up space?'

Another said, 'I have married a wife; that is why I cannot come.'

Jesus said to him, "Why call me 'good'? No one is good, no one but God.

Why, it is easier for a camel to get through a needle's eye than for a rich man to get into the Realm of God."

Why then did you not put my money into the bank, so that I could have got it with interest when I came back?'

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untethering it?' this is what you will say, 'The Lord needs it.'"

As they were untethering it, the owners said to them, "Why are you untethering the colt?"

Now they reasoned to themselves, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why did you not believe him?'

Why, David himself says in the book of psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, 'Sit at my right hand,

He said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not slip into temptation."

Shortly afterwards another man noticed him and said, "Why, you are one of them!" "Man," said Peter, "I am not."

About an hour had passed when another man insisted, "That fellow really was with him. Why, he is a Galilean!"

They were terrified and bent their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look among the dead for him who is alive?

but he said to them, "Why are you upset? Why do doubts invade your mind?

so they asked him, saying, "Then why are you baptizing people, if you are neither the Christ nor Elijah nor the Prophet?"

At this point his disciples came up; they were surprised that he was talking to a woman, but none of them said, "What is it?" or, "Why are you talking to her?"

And this was why the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did things like this on the sabbath.

that was why he said 'I tell you that no one is able to come to me unless he is allowed by the Father').

Did not Moses give you the Law? ??and yet none of you honestly obeys the Law. Else, why do you want to kill me?"

Then the attendants went back to the high priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him with you?"

Why, it is written in your own Law that the evidence of two persons is valid:

So the Jews said, "Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I go, you cannot come'?"

They said, "Who are you?" Jesus replied, "Why should I talk to you at all?

Why do you not understand my speech? Because you are unable to listen to what I am saying.

Which of you can convict me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

That was why the man's parents said, "He is of age, ask himself.")

He retorted, "I have told you that already, and you would not listen to me. Why do you want to hear it over again? Do you want to be disciples of his?"

This is why my Father loves me, because I lay down my life to take it up again.

A number of them said, "He is mad. Why listen to him?"

"Why was not this perfume sold for ten pounds, and the money given to the poor?"

and that was why the crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had performed this Sign.

This was why they could not believe; for Isaiah again said,

(he knew the traitor; that was why he said, "You are not all clean").

(None of those at table understood why he said this to him;
