'Answer' in the Bible

But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.

"And I will put a question to you," replied Jesus; "answer me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

John's Baptism--was it of Heavenly or of human origin? Answer me."

Then one of the Scribes, who had heard them disputing and well knew that Jesus had given them an answer to the point, and a forcible one, came forward and asked Him, "Which is the chief of all the Commandments?"

When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.

At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?"

But Jesus made no further answer: so that Pilate wondered.
