'Asked' in the Bible

Jesus answered and said to her, 'If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.'

and his disciples asked him, saying, 'Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?'

and they asked them, saying, 'Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?'

The Jews, therefore, that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, since it was the preparation, (for that sabbath day was a great one,) asked of Pilate that their legs may be broken, and they taken away.
