'Asked' in the Bible

So they asked him, "Well then, are you Elijah?" John said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" He answered, "No."

"Who are you?" they asked him. "We must give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"

They asked him, "Why, then, are you baptizing if you are not the Messiah, or Elijah, or the Prophet?"

But when Jesus turned around and saw them following, he asked them, "What are you looking for?" They asked him, "Rabbi," (which is translated "Teacher"), "where are you staying?"

Nathaniel asked him, "From Nazareth? Can anything good come from there?" Philip told him, "Come and see!"

Nathaniel asked him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

"How does that concern us, dear lady?" Jesus asked her. "My time hasn't come yet."

Then the Jewish leaders asked him, "What sign can you show us as authority for doing these things?"

Nicodemus asked him, "How can a person be born when he is old? He can't go back into his mother's womb a second time and be born, can he?"

Nicodemus asked him, "How can that be?"

The Samaritan woman asked him, "How can you, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" Because Jews do not have anything to do with Samaritans.

So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there for two days.

When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him repeatedly to come down and heal his son, because he was about to die.

So he asked them at what hour he had begun to recover, and they told him, "The fever left him yesterday at one o'clock in the afternoon."

When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?"

They asked him, "Who is the man who told you, "Pick it up and walk'?"

When Jesus looked up and saw that a large crowd was coming toward him, he asked Philip, "Where can we buy bread for these people to eat?"

When they had found him on the other side of the sea, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"

Then they asked him, "What must we do to perform God's works?"

So they asked him, "What sign are you going to do so that we may see it and believe in you? What actions are you performing?

But Jesus, knowing within himself that his disciples were grumbling about this, asked them, "Does this offend you?

So Jesus asked the Twelve, "You don't want to leave, too, do you?"

Then the Jewish leaders asked one another, "Where does this man intend to go that we won't be able to find him? Surely he's not going to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?

Then the officers returned to the high priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

One of their own, Nicodemus (the man who had previously met with Jesus), asked them,

Then Jesus stood up and asked her, "Dear lady, where are your accusers? Hasn't anyone condemned you?"

Then they asked him, "Where is this Father of yours?"

Then they asked him, "Who are you?"

Then the Jewish leaders asked him, "You are not even 50 years old, yet you have seen Abraham?"

His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that caused him to be born blind?"

So they asked him, "How, then, did you gain your eyesight?"

They asked him, "Where is that man?" He said, "I don't know!"

So they asked the formerly blind man again, "What do you say about him, since it was your eyes he healed?" He said, "He is a prophet."

and asked them, "Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? How does he now see?"

Then they asked him, "What did he do to you? How did he heal your eyes?"

They asked him, "You were born a sinner and you are trying to instruct us?" And they threw him out.

Jesus heard that they had thrown him out. So when he found him, he asked him, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"

Some of the Pharisees who were near him overheard this and asked him, "We aren't blind, too, are we?"

He asked, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."

But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who was going to betray him, asked,

Then he came to Simon Peter, who asked him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?"

Leaning forward on Jesus' chest, he asked him, "Lord, who is it?"

Simon Peter asked him, "Lord, where are you going?" Jesus answered him, "I'm going where you cannot follow me now, though you will follow me later on."

"Lord, why can't I follow you now?" Peter asked him. "I would lay down my life for you!"

Thomas asked him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

"Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me?" Jesus asked him. "The person who has seen me has seen the Father. So how can you say, "Show us the Father'?

Judas (not Iscariot) asked him, "Lord, how is it that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?"

At this point, some of his disciples asked each other, "What does he mean by telling us, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again,' and, "because I am going to the Father'?"

Jesus knew that they wanted to ask him a question, so he asked them, "Are you discussing among yourselves what I meant when I said, "In a little while you will no longer see me, then in a little while you will see me again'?

So far you haven't asked for anything in my name. Keep asking and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete."

Then Jesus, knowing everything that was going to happen, went forward and asked them, "Who are you looking for?"

So he asked them again, "Who are you looking for?" They said, "Jesus from Nazareth."

The young woman at the gate asked Peter, "You aren't one of this man's disciples, too, are you?" "I am not," he replied.

Meanwhile, Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. Some people asked him, "You aren't one of his disciples, too, are you?" He denied it by saying, "I am not!"

So Pilate came out to them and asked, "What accusation are you bringing against this man?"

So Pilate went back into the governor's headquarters, summoned Jesus, and asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?"

Pilate asked him, "So you are a king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. I was born for this, and I came into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is committed to the truth listens to my voice."

Pilate asked him, "What is "truth'?" and then he went out to the Jewish leaders again and told them, "I find no basis for a charge against him.

Returning to his headquarters, he asked Jesus, "Where are you from?" But Jesus did not answer him.

So Pilate asked him, "Aren't you going to speak to me? You realize, don't you, that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you?"

Then they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!" Pilate asked them, "Should I crucify your king?"

Since it was the Preparation Day, the Jewish leaders did not want to leave the bodies on the crosses during the Sabbath, because that was a particularly important Sabbath. So they asked Pilate to have the men's legs broken and the bodies removed.

Later on, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus (though a secret one because he was afraid of the Jewish leaders), asked Pilate to let him remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, and he came and removed his body.

They asked her, "Lady, why are you crying?" She told them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have put him."

Jesus asked her, "Dear lady, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she told him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."

Jesus asked them, "Children, you don't have any fish, do you?" They answered him, "No."

When they had finished breakfast, Jesus asked Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these?" Peter told him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you." Jesus told him, "Feed my lambs."

Then he asked him a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter told him, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."

Jesus told him, "Take care of my sheep." He asked him a third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love me?" Peter was deeply hurt that he had asked him a third time, "Do you love me?" So he told him, "Lord, you know everything. You know that I love you!"

Peter turned around and noticed the disciple whom Jesus kept loving following them. He was the one who had put his head on Jesus' chest at the supper and had asked, "Lord, who is the one who is going to betray you?"
