804141:011:003 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this?

804141:012:009 What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do?
804141:012:015 Shall we give, or shall we not give?
804141:012:023 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them?
804141:012:024 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
804141:012:035 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
804141:012:037 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son?
804141:013:002 And Jesus answering said unto him, Seest thou these great buildings?
804141:014:004 And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
804141:014:006 And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her?
804141:014:019 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I?
804141:014:037 And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou?
804141:014:048 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?
804141:014:060 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
804141:014:063 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
804141:014:064 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?
804141:015:002 And Pilate asked him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
804141:015:004 And Pilate asked him again, saying, Answerest thou nothing?
804141:015:009 But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
804141:015:012 And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
804141:015:014 Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath he done?
804141:015:034 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
804141:016:003 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
8041Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
8041And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
8041And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
8041But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
8041and another said, Is it I?
8041and are not his sisters here with us?
8041and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
8041and do ye not remember?
8041and having ears, hear ye not?
8041and how then will ye know all parables?
8041and not to be set on a candlestick?
8041and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
8041and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
8041and who gave thee this authority to do these things?
8041art thou come to destroy us?
8041couldest not thou watch one hour?
8041have ye your heart yet hardened?
8041how is it that ye have no faith?
8041how long shall I suffer you?
8041or with what comparison shall we compare it?
8041perceive ye not yet, neither understand?
8041to save life, or to kill?
8041what is it which these witness against thee?
8041what new doctrine is this?
8041which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
8041who can forgive sins but God only?
8829Are we,they asked,"to go and buy two hundred shillings''worth of bread and give them food?"
8829Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?
8829Are* you* the King of the Jews?
8829Is it not written,He said,"''My House shall be called The House of Prayer for all the nations?''
8829Rabbi,they cried,"is it nothing to you that we are drowning?"
8829Suppose we say,''Heavenly,''they argued,"he will ask,''Why then did you not believe him?''
8829What is this wisdom that has been given to him? 8829 What is your name?"
8829Where did he acquire all this?
8829Why all this outcry and loud weeping?
8829001:027 And all were amazed and awe- struck, so they began to ask one another,"What does this mean?
8829002:007"Why does this man use such words?"
8829002:008 At once perceiving by His spirit that they were reasoning within themselves, Jesus asked them,"Why do you thus argue in your minds?
8829002:009 Which is easier?--to say to this paralytic,''Your sins are pardoned,''or to say,''Rise, take up your mat, and walk?''
8829002:019"Can a wedding party fast while the bridegroom is among them?"
8829003:004 Then He asked them,"Are we allowed to do good on the Sabbath, or to do evil?
8829003:023 So He called them to Him, and using figurative language He appealed to them, saying,"How is it possible for Satan to expel Satan?
8829003:033"Who are my mother and my brothers?"
8829004:013"Do you all miss the meaning of this parable?"
8829004:021 He went on to say,"Is the lamp brought in in order to be put under the bushel or under the bed?
8829004:030 Another saying of His was this:"How are we to picture the Kingdom of God?
8829004:040"Why are you so timid?"
8829004:041 Then they were filled with terror, and began to say to one another,"Who is this, then?
8829005:030 Immediately Jesus, well knowing that healing power had gone from within Him, turned round in the crowd and asked,"Who touched my clothes?"
8829005:031"You see the multitude pressing you on all sides,"His disciples exclaimed,"and yet you ask,''Who touched me?''"
8829005:035 While He is yet speaking, men come from the house to the Warden, and say,"Your daughter is dead: why trouble the Rabbi further?"
8829006:003 Is not this the carpenter, Mary''s son, the brother of James and Joses, Jude and Simon?
8829006:024 She at once went out and said to her mother:"What shall I ask for?"
8829006:038"How many loaves have you?"
8829007:018"Have* you* also so little understanding?"
8829008:004"Where can we possibly get bread here in this remote place to satisfy such a crowd?"
8829008:005"How many loaves have you?"
8829008:012 Heaving a deep and troubled sigh, He said,"Why do the men of to- day ask for a sign?
8829008:017 He perceived what they were saying, and He said to them,"What is this discussion of yours about having no bread?
8829008:019 When I broke up the five loaves for the 5,000 men, how many baskets did you carry away full of broken portions?"
8829008:020"And when the seven for the 4,000, how many hampers full of portions did you take away?"
8829008:021"Do you not yet understand?"
8829008:029 Then He asked them pointedly,"But you yourselves, who do you say that I am?"
8829008:036 Why, what does it benefit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life?
8829008:037 For what could a man give to buy back his life?
8829009:011 They also asked Him,"How is it that the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
8829009:016"What is the subject you are discussing?"
8829009:021 Then Jesus asked the father,"How long has he been like this?"
8829009:028 After the return of Jesus to the house His disciples asked Him privately,"How is it that we could not expel the spirit?"
8829009:033 So they came to Capernaum; and when in the house He asked them,"What were you arguing about on the way?"
8829009:050 Salt is a good thing, but if the salt should become tasteless, what will you use to give it saltness?
8829010:002 Presently a party of Pharisees come to Him with the question-- seeking to entrap Him,"May a man divorce his wife?"
8829010:003"What rule did Moses lay down for you?"
8829010:018"Why do you call me good?"
8829010:026 They were astonished beyond measure, and said to one another,"Who then* can* be saved?"
8829010:036"What would you have me do for you?"
8829010:051"What shall I do for you?"
8829011:003 And if any one asks you,''Why are you doing that?''
8829011:030 John''s Baptism-- was it of Heavenly or of human origin?
8829011:032 Or should we say,''human?''"
8829012:009 What, therefore, will the owner of the vineyard do?"
8829012:015 Shall we pay, or shall we refuse to pay?"
8829012:016 They brought one; and He asked them,"Whose is this likeness and this inscription?"
8829012:023 At the Resurrection whose wife will she be?
8829012:024"Is not this the cause of your error,"replied Jesus--"your ignorance alike of the Scriptures and of the power of God?
8829012:035 But, while teaching in the Temple, Jesus asked,"How is it the Scribes say that the Christ is a son of David?
8829012:037"David himself calls Him''Lord:''how then can He be his son?"
8829013:002"You see all these great buildings?"
8829014:004 But there were some who said indignantly among themselves,"Why has the ointment been thus wasted?
8829014:006 But Jesus said,"Leave her alone: why are you troubling her?
8829014:019 They were filled with sorrow, and began asking Him, one by one,"Not I, is it?"
8829014:037 Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter,"Simon, are you asleep?
8829014:048"Have you come out,"said Jesus,"with swords and cudgels to arrest me, as if you had to fight with a robber?
8829014:060 At last the High Priest stood up, and advancing into the midst of them all, asked Jesus,"Have you no answer to make?
8829014:063 Rending his garments the High Priest exclaimed,"What need have we of witnesses after that?
8829014:068 But he denied it, and said,"I do n''t know-- I do n''t understand-- What do you mean?"
8829015:003 Then, as the High Priests went on heaping accusations on Him, 015:004 Pilate again and again asked Him,"Do you make no reply?
8829015:009"Shall I release for you the King of the Jews?"
8829015:014"Why, what crime has he committed?"
8829015:034 But at three o''clock Jesus cried out with a loud voice,"Elohi, Elohi, lama sabachthani?"
8829And do not his sisters live here among us?"
8829And they came and asked Him,"How is it that John''s disciples and those of the Pharisees are fasting, and yours are not?"
8829And what are these marvellous miracles which his hands perform?
8829Are you able to drink out of the cup from which I am to drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am to be baptized?"
8829Are your minds so dull of comprehension?
8829But He, knowing their hypocrisy, replied,"Why try to ensnare me?
8829Do you not yet see and understand?
8829Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour?
8829Have you come to destroy us?
8829He added;"how then will you understand the rest of my parables?"
8829He asked;"have you still no faith?"
8829Is it allowable to pay poll- tax to Caesar, or not?
8829Is it not rather in order that it may be placed on the lampstand?
8829On the way He began to ask His disciples,"Who do people say that I am?"
8829They were untying it, 011:005 when some of the bystanders called out,"What are you doing, untying the foal?"
8829What is the meaning of all this that these witnesses allege against you?"
8829What is your judgement?"
8829Who can pardon sins but One-- that is, God?"
8829and have you no memory?
8829and what will be the sign when all these predictions are on the point of being fulfilled?"
8829and who gave you authority to do them?"
8829can you not hear?
8829can you not see?
8829how long must I have patience with you?
8829or by what figure of speech shall we represent it?
8829replied Jesus;"how long must I be with you?
8829to save a life, or to destroy one?"
8829which means,"My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
8829why are they doing what on the Sabbath is unlawful?"
6530After Jesus went inside, His disciples asked Him privately, Why could we not cast him out?
6530After they recalled the numbers and told Him, Jesus said, Then how can it be that ye do not understand?
6530Again the high priest asked Him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
6530Along the road, a young man ran up to Jesus, knelt before Him and asked, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
6530Along the way He asked His disciples, Who do men say that I am?
6530And He said, Whereto shall we liken the kingdom of God?
6530And Jesus responded, Have ye never read what David, and they that were with him, did when they had need and were hungry?
6530And Jesus said to them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast while the bridegroom is with them?
6530And Jesus said to them, Know ye not this parable?
6530And Pilate asked Him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
6530And do ye not remember the seven loaves among four thousand and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up?
6530And do ye not remember when I broke the five loaves among five thousand and how many baskets full of fragments ye took up?
6530And having ears, hear ye not?
6530And how David also gave it to those who were with him?
6530And they said, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread and give it to them to eat?
6530Are His sisters not right here among us?
6530Art thou come to destroy us?
6530As they untied him, a man said to them, What are ye doing, loosing the colt?
6530At the ninth hour, Jesus cried with a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
6530But if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will ye season it?
6530Can ye be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?
6530Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?
6530Could you not watch one hour with me?
6530Do you behold how many things they witness against thee?
6530For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
6530Have ye still hardened hearts?
6530Having eyes, see ye not?
6530He asked them, How many loaves have ye?
6530He said to the man, What shall I do for thee?
6530His disciples answered Him, How can these men be supplied with bread here in the wilderness?
6530His disciples said, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee and ask Who touched me?
6530How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar, the high priest, and ate the showbread?
6530How is it that ye have no faith?
6530How long shall I suffer you?
6530How this was only lawful for the priests to eat?
6530If David calls him Lord; how is he, then, his son?
6530In return, Jesus asked, What did Moses command you?
6530Inside the house Jesus said to them, Why make this commotion and weep?
6530Is it I?
6530Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
6530Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Juda, and Simon?
6530Jesus answered, See these great buildings?
6530Jesus answered, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
6530Jesus asked the scribes, Why question them?
6530Jesus asked them, How many loaves have ye?
6530Jesus called them to Him and said, How can Satan cast out Satan?
6530Jesus replied, Are ye without understanding also?
6530Jesus said to Peter, Simon, why do you sleep?
6530Jesus said to them, Have ye come to take me with swords and staves as against a thief?
6530Jesus said to them, What should I do for you?
6530Jesus said to them, Why are ye so fearful?
6530Jesus said, Why call me good?
6530Jesus stepped forward and cried, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you?
6530Jesus, knowing their hypocrisy, answered, Why test me?
6530My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me?
6530Once they got safely inside the house at Capernaum, Jesus asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves along the way?
6530Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
6530Perceive ye not or understand?
6530Peter, James, John, and Andrew went over to Him and asked, When shall these things happen?
6530Pilate asked, What do you want me to do to Him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
6530Pilate said to Him, Answer thou nothing?
6530Pilate said to the multitude, Will ye that I release to you the King of the Jews?
6530Presently, Jesus, knowing in Himself that virtue had gone out of Him, turned about and said, Who touched my clothes?
6530Shall we give, or shall we not give?
6530She went to her mother, Herodias, and said, What shall I ask?
6530Some of the others at the table became indignant and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?
6530Take up thy bed and walk?
6530The Pharisees came to Him, and, testing Him, asked, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
6530The Pharisees said to Him, Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the sabbath day?
6530The disciples of John and of the Pharisees came to Jesus and asked, Why do the disciples of John and the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples do not?
6530The disciples were astonished beyond measure, saying among themselves, Who, then, can be saved?
6530The man cried with a loud voice, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God?
6530The people were amazed, so much so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this?
6530Then Jesus asked, What is thy name?
6530Then Jesus said to them, But who do you say that I am?
6530Then Jesus said to them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil?
6530Then Jesus said, Is a candle lighted to be put under a bushel, or under a bed instead of set on a candlestick?
6530Then Pilate said to them, Why, what evil has He done?
6530Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?
6530Then the high priest called out, What need we of any further witnesses?
6530Then the high priest stood up and said to Jesus, Answer thou nothing?
6530Then they asked Him if it was not so what the scribes said that Elias must come first?
6530Then those nearby said one to another, What kind of man is this that even the wind and the sea obey?
6530They asked, From whence has this man learned these things?
6530They began to be sorrowful, and, one by one, ask Him, Is it I?
6530They discussed this among themselves and said, If we say, From heaven; He will say, Why then did ye not believe him?
6530They questioned Him and said, By what authority do thou do these things?
6530They said among themselves, Who shall roll the stone away from the door of the sepulchre for us?
6530They woke Him and said, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
6530They wondered, Why does this man speak blasphemies?
6530This was the Lord''s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
6530To save life, or to kill?
6530To this Jesus sighed deeply in His spirit and said, Why does this generation seek after a sign?
6530Was the baptism of John from heaven or of men?
6530What have we to do with thee, Jesus of Nazareth?
6530What is it that these witness against thee?
6530What new doctrine is this?
6530What sign will there be when all these things will be fulfilled?
6530What think ye?
6530What wisdom is this that is given to Him that even such mighty works are wrought by His hands?
6530What, then, shall the lord of the vineyard do?
6530When Jesus realized that they so reasoned, He said to them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
6530When Jesus realized their misunderstanding, He said to them, Why reason ye because ye have no bread?
6530While He taught in the temple, Jesus said, How can the scribes say that Christ is the son of David?
6530Who can forgive sins but God only?
6530Who gave thee this authority to do these things?
6530Whose image and superscription is on a coin?
6530Why trouble her?
6530Why trouble the Master any further?
6530With what shall we compare it?
8268''{ Psalm 110:1} 012:037 Therefore David himself calls him Lord, so how can he be his son?
8268''"{ Isaiah 6:9- 10} 004:013 He said to them,"Do n''t you understand this parable?
8268001:027 They were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying,"What is this?
8268002:006 But there were some of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts, 002:007"Why does this man speak blasphemies like that?
8268002:009 Which is easier, to tell the paralytic,''Your sins are forgiven;''or to say,''Arise, and take up your bed, and walk?''
8268002:019 Jesus said to them,"Can the groomsmen fast while the bridegroom is with them?
8268002:024 The Pharisees said to him,"Behold, why do they do that which is not lawful on the Sabbath day?"
8268002:025 He said to them,"Did you never read what David did, when he had need, and was hungry-- he, and those who were with him?
8268003:004 He said to them,"Is it lawful on the Sabbath day to do good, or to do harm?
8268003:023 He summoned them, and said to them in parables,"How can Satan cast out Satan?
8268003:033 He answered them,"Who are my mother and my brothers?"
8268004:030 He said,"How will we liken the Kingdom of God?
8268004:038 He himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion, and they woke him up, and told him,"Teacher, do n''t you care that we are dying?"
8268004:040 He said to them,"Why are you so afraid?
8268004:041 They were greatly afraid, and said to one another,"Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
8268005:009 He asked him,"What is your name?"
8268005:030 Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked,"Who touched my clothes?"
8268005:031 His disciples said to him,"You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say,''Who touched me?''"
8268005:039 When he had entered in, he said to them,"Why do you make an uproar and weep?
8268006:003 Is n''t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, Joses, Judah, and Simon?
8268006:024 She went out, and said to her mother,"What shall I ask?"
8268006:038 He said to them,"How many loaves do you have?
8268007:018 He said to them,"Are you thus without understanding also?
8268008:004 His disciples answered him,"From where could one satisfy these people with bread here in a deserted place?"
8268008:005 He asked them,"How many loaves do you have?"
8268008:017 Jesus, perceiving it, said to them,"Why do you reason that it''s because you have no bread?
8268008:018 Having eyes, do n''t you see?
8268008:019 When I broke the five loaves among the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"
8268008:020"When the seven loaves fed the four thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up?"
8268008:021 He asked them,"Do n''t you understand, yet?"
8268008:029 He said to them,"But who do you say that I am?"
8268008:036 For what does it profit a man, to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
8268008:037 For what will a man give in exchange for his life?
8268009:011 They asked him, saying,"Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
8268009:016 He asked the scribes,"What are you asking them?"
8268009:019 He answered him,"Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you?
8268009:021 He asked his father,"How long has it been since this has come to him?"
8268009:028 When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately,"Why could n''t we cast it out?"
8268009:033 He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them,"What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"
8268009:050 Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it?
8268010:002 Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him,"Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"
8268010:003 He answered,"What did Moses command you?"
8268010:018 Jesus said to him,"Why do you call me good?
8268010:026 They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him,"Then who can be saved?"
8268010:036 He said to them,"What do you want me to do for you?"
8268010:051 Jesus asked him,"What do you want me to do for you?"
8268011:003 If anyone asks you,''Why are you doing this?''
8268011:005 Some of those who stood there asked them,"What are you doing, untying the young donkey?"
8268011:017 He taught, saying to them,"Is n''t it written,''My house will be called a house of prayer for all the nations?
8268011:030 The baptism of John-- was it from heaven, or from men?
8268011:031 They reasoned with themselves, saying,"If we should say,''From heaven;''he will say,''Why then did you not believe him?''
8268012:009 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do?
8268012:011 This was from the Lord, it is marvelous in our eyes''?
8268012:015 Shall we give, or shall we not give?"
8268012:023 In the resurrection, when they rise, whose wife will she be of them?
8268012:024 Jesus answered them,"Is n''t this because you are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures, nor the power of God?
8268012:035 Jesus responded, as he taught in the temple,"How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?
8268013:002 Jesus said to him,"Do you see these great buildings?
8268014:004 But there were some who were indignant among themselves, saying,"Why has this ointment been wasted?
8268014:019 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one,"Surely not I?"
8268014:037 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,"Simon, are you sleeping?
8268014:048 Jesus answered them,"Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
8268014:060 The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus,"Have you no answer?
8268014:063 The high priest tore his clothes, and said,"What further need have we of witnesses?
8268015:002 Pilate asked him,"Are you the King of the Jews?"
8268015:004 Pilate again asked him,"Have you no answer?
8268015:009 Pilate answered them, saying,"Do you want me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
8268015:012 Pilate again asked them,"What then should I do to him whom you call the King of the Jews?"
8268015:014 Pilate said to them,"Why, what evil has he done?"
8268016:003 They were saying among themselves,"Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?"
8268A new teaching?
8268Again the high priest asked him,"Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
8268And another said,"Surely not I?"
8268Are n''t his sisters here with us?"
8268Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"
8268But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them,"Why do you test me?
8268Could n''t you watch one hour?
8268Do n''t you perceive yet, neither understand?
8268Do n''t you remember?
8268Have you come to destroy us?
8268Having ears, do n''t you hear?
8268He said to them,"Whose is this image and inscription?"
8268How is it that you have no faith?"
8268How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?
8268How long shall I bear with you?
8268How will you understand all of the parables?
8268Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?
8268Is n''t it put on a stand?
8268Is your heart still hardened?
8268Knowing that he had answered them well, asked him,"Which commandment is the greatest of all?"
8268On the way he asked his disciples,"Who do men say that I am?"
8268Or who gave you this authority to do these things?"
8268Or with what parable will we illustrate it?
8268To save a life, or to kill?"
8268What do we have to do with you, Jesus, you Nazarene?
8268What do you think?"
8268What is it which these testify against you?"
8268What is the sign that these things are all about to be fulfilled?"
8268Who can forgive sins but God alone?"
8268Why bother the Teacher any more?"
8268Why do you trouble her?
8268and,"What is the wisdom that is given to this man, that such mighty works come about by his hands?
8268seek a sign?
8268which is, being interpreted,"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
8268worth of bread, and give them something to eat?"
8268{ 3:00 PM} 015:034 At the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,"Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"
8071''And she ministered to them,''--how could she help that either, if she had any thankfulness in her heart?
8071''Are your hearts yet hardened?''
8071''Can I call thee Peter now, when thou hast not cared for My sorrow enough to wake while I wrestled?
8071''Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, while the bridegroom is with them?''
8071''Do men gather grapes of thorns?''
8071''Do ye not remember, when I broke the loaves among the thousands, how many baskets took ye up?
8071''Hast thou learned the lesson of My mercy?
8071''Having eyes, see ye not?
8071''Having eyes, see ye not?''
8071''How long must I be with you?''
8071''IS IT I?''
8071''If the eye were not sunlike,''says the great German thinker,''how could it see the sun?''
8071''Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed and not upon a candlestick?''
8071''Is it I?''
8071''Is not a man much better than a sheep,''and much more than a pig?
8071''Simon, sleepest thou?''
8071''Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou Me?''
8071''Straightway he will send him hither''--who is''he''?
8071''The little hills rejoice_ together_?
8071''Thou a king?''
8071''To what purpose is this waste?''
8071''To whom shall we go but unto Thee?
8071''What is there to me and thee?''
8071''What wilt Thou that I should do unto thee?''
8071''When I sent you forth without purse... lacked ye anything?''
8071''When saw we Thee... in need... and served Thee?''
8071''When the Son of Man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?''
8071''Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean,''especially when the would- be bringer is himself the unclean thing?
8071''Who is He?
8071''Whose image and superscription hath it?''
8071''Why callest thou Me good?''
8071''Why could not we cast him out?''
8071''Why could not you cast him out?
8071''Why could we not cast him out?''
8071''Why did they not think of that before?
8071''Why do ye spend money for that which is not bread?''
8071''Why reason ye?
8071''Wist ye not that I must be about My Father''s business?''
8071''With whom took He counsel?
8071--not yet, after so many miracles, and living beside Me for so long?
807112- 26)''Is IT I?''
807136 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
8071AN UNANSWERED QUESTION''What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?''
8071Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
8071And He answered them, saying, Who is My mother, or My brethren?
8071And He answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
8071And He asked him, What is thy name?
8071And He called them unto Him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
8071And He said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?
8071And He said unto them, Know ye not this parable?
8071And He said unto them, What would ye that I should do for you?
8071And He said unto them, Why are ye so fearful?
8071And He said, How is it that ye do not understand?''
8071And He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
8071And He saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath days, or to do evil?
8071And He was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, carest Thou not that we perish?
8071And I want to know whether we shall call that sanity or insanity?
8071And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take Me?
8071And Pilate answered and said again unto them, What will ye then that I shall do unto Him whom ye call the King of the Jews?
8071And Pilate asked Him again, saying, Answerest Thou nothing?
8071And Pilate asked Him, Art Thou the King of the Jews?
8071And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?
8071And beyond that, what do we learn?
8071And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with Thee, Jesus, Thou Son of the most high God?
8071And do the best of us do more, though we have less apology for our distance than Peter had?
8071And how does that Lord look at me and all my wanderings from Him, my hardness of heart, my Pharisaism and deadness to His spiritual power and beauty?
8071And is it not in parable just exactly what Jesus Christ does for the whole world?
8071And is not that same miracle of long- enduring love presented before every one of us, as in Christ''s heart for us?
8071And is not that what He does for us all?
8071And is there nothing else in this incident?
8071And is this worse than our sinful case?
8071And may we not regard this secret interview as representing for us what is needed on our part to make Christ''s forgiving love our own?
8071And may we not see, in that swift advance in front of the lagging disciples, some trace of the same feeling which we recognise to be so truly human?
8071And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask?
8071And still further, may we not say that this is the inmost meaning and purpose of the whole frame of the material universe?
8071And suppose he was a man of that sort, with no expectation of anything from this Rabbi, how was Christ to get at him?
8071And that power, where does it come from?
8071And the Pharisees said unto Him, Behold, why do they on the Sabbath day that which is not lawful?
8071And the high priest stood up in their midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest Thou nothing?
8071And they asked Him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
8071And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto Him one by one, Is it I?
8071And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?''
8071And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
8071And they say unto Him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?
8071And they were all amazed, insomuch that they questioned among themselves, saying, What thing is this?
8071And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?
8071And thus it is no mere arbitrary appointment which suspends your salvation and mine on our answer to this question,''What think ye of Christ?''
8071And what comes of this idle hearing, without acceptance or obedience?
8071And what did the man do?
8071And what do the questions suggest?
8071And what do we learn from His example?
8071And what is equal in persuasive power to the simple utterance of one''s own intense conviction?
8071And what is fruit in contradistinction to leaves?
8071And what said the man?
8071And what said the people?
8071And what said the wise doctors to it all?
8071And what sort of a''could not''was it that thus hampered Him in His work?
8071And what was hardening their hearts?
8071And what was the King doing when that sight burst upon Him, and while the acclamations eddied round Him?
8071And when He was come in, He saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep?
8071And where was such wealth as that in that company?
8071And who ought to believe you when you say,''Christ is my Saviour,''if your lives are, to all outward seeming, exactly what they were before?
8071And who will venture to say that he would not have done so too?
8071And why are they not continuous?
8071Annihilate, do I say?
8071Are not the devils that possess us as real and powerful?
8071Are not these really the profoundest truths as to His whole work in the world?
8071Are not these''discrepancies''much more valuable as confirmation of the story than precise accord would have been?
8071Are the popular''heroes''of Christian nations saints, teachers, lovers of men, in whom their Christ- likeness is the thing venerated?
8071Are these the gospel?
8071Are we as ready to surrender our cherished possessions for His use?
8071Are we doing otherwise?
8071Are we in the dreary period when''the Bridegroom is taken away''and fasting appropriate?
8071Are we not all tempted to shuffle off responsibility for the world''s hunger?
8071Are you such a very great being as that your happiness and well- being can legitimately be the ultimate purpose of God''s dealings with you?
8071Better for us to ask ourselves the question to- day about all the godless parts of our lives,''To what purpose is this waste?''
8071But He says,''Dost thou think that it is through thy finger on My robe?
8071But Pilate answered them, saying, Will ye that I release unto you the King of the Jews?
8071But for this same restraining grace, to what depths might we not sink?
8071But if a man has not faith, his will is discordant with the will of God, and how can it be harmonised and discordant at the same time?
8071But is that the only end?
8071But is that the whole explanation?
8071But may we not draw a distinction between design and desire?
8071But notwithstanding all that, what will the felt presence of the Bridegroom do for these griefs that will come?
8071But of what law?
8071But what does He mean by the distinction between sick and sound, righteous and sinners?
8071But what does it matter?
8071But what had he to do with the joy of Resurrection?
8071But what if that eager freshness of delight may yet be ours once again?
8071But what is there rotting and festering down in the cellars?
8071But which is the stronger?
8071But why should the expelled demons seek such an abode?
8071But why should we do so?
8071But''is a candle brought to be set under a bushel?''
8071CHRIST''S LAMENT OVER OUR FAITHLESSNESS''He answereth him and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you?
8071Can my poor feeble hand find a cranny anywhere through which it may reach the robe?
8071Can the children of the bridechamber fast as long as the bridegroom is with them?''
8071Can there be anything but displeasure in Him?
8071Can we fancy the keen observance, the recognition of the hidden bad and good, the blazing indignation, and yet dewy pity, in those eyes?
8071Can you cleanse your own nature?
8071Can you forgive your own sins?
8071Can you make yourselves other than you are by any effort of volition, or by any painfulness of discipline?
8071Christ comes to each of you professing Christians, and asks,''What fruit hast thou borne after all My sedulous husbandry?''
8071Christ meets him with, Who is the''I''?
8071Dare we ask what were the elements of that all- enveloping horror of great darkness?
8071Deaf ears make a dumb Christ, What will happen when Jesus and His judges change places, as they will one day do?
8071Dear brother, do you open your heart to Him?
8071Dear friend, do you desire your truest good?
8071Did He deserve to be hailed as King a few short hours ago?
8071Did He see into the future?
8071Did Jesus will His transfiguration, or did it come about without His volition, or perhaps even without His consciousness?
8071Did it continue during all the time on the mountain, or did it pass when the second stage of the incident began?
8071Did the Creative Arm grow weary?
8071Did they not know, too, that Joseph and Nicodemus had been beforehand with them in their labour of love?
8071Did you ever think of what an extraordinary position that is for a man to take up?
8071Do not many of us remember moments of a far deeper and more earnest trust in Christ than marks our ordinary days?
8071Do not we know that the purer our love, and the more it has purified us, the more sensitive it becomes, even while the less suspicious it becomes?
8071Do these sparing and reverent words sound to you like the product of devout imagination, embellishing with legend the facts of history?
8071Do we delight in what strengthened Him?
8071Do we ever go down there with the''candle of the Lord''in our hands?
8071Do we habitually try to cultivate as ours Christ''s way of looking at men, and Christ''s emotions towards men?
8071Do we not hear the boom of thunder- peals in the prologue to John''s Gospel, perhaps the grandest words ever written?
8071Do we not often think that our resources are absurdly insufficient, and so, faintheartedly make them still less?
8071Do we not see here a trace of something that we all know?
8071Do ye not remember?''
8071Do you acknowledge Him as your King?
8071Do you care at all about the calm and pure blessings of communion with God?
8071Do you cast your garments in the way, and say:''Ride on, great Prince''?
8071Do you count it your highest honour if He will use you and your possessions, and condescend to say that He has need of such poor creatures as we are?
8071Do you desire to have your sins forgiven?
8071Do you know anything of that personal communion?
8071Do you know that you can not win it, or fight for it to gain it, or do anything to obtain it, in your own strength?
8071Do you remember another''if''with which Christ was once besought?
8071Do you submit yourself to His inspection, to His cleansing?
8071Do you think any one would say of your religion that you were''beside yourself,''because you made so much of it?
8071Do you want to be the masters of your own lusts and passions?
8071Does any shadow of weariness steal over that life which lives and is not exhausted?
8071Does it not gather all the world in the sweep of its mighty purpose of mercy?
8071Does it?
8071Does not the very severity of the rebuke testify to its having set some chords vibrating in His soul?
8071Does our work rest upon the basis of inward fellowship with God which underlay His?
8071Does the bush consume in burning?
8071Does the incident mean supernatural knowledge or a preconcerted token, like the provision of the ass at the entry into Jerusalem?
8071Does this sound like a madman, or an epileptic, or like a spirit which knew more than men knew, and trembled and hated more than they could do?
8071Doth He not speak and it is done?
8071Even now, after nineteen centuries of Christ''s influence have modified the popular ideals, what chance have they?
8071For instance, did you ever observe the peculiar beginning of this Gospel?
8071For what is salvation?
8071For what is the goal to which they tend?
8071For what reason was there this unusual emotion ere He spoke the word which cleansed?
8071For what reason was there this unwonted slowness in Christ''s healing works?
8071For what was it that He did?
8071For what?
8071Give way to despondency?
8071Has Christ told you that it is His will that your child shall be healed?
8071Has it not been an inspiration to the Church ever since?
8071Has purity any attraction for you?
8071Has the benighted world ever caused us as much pain as some trivial pecuniary loss has done?
8071Have not all sinned?
8071Have not''the poor''got far more good out of Mary''s box of ointment than the three hundred pence that a few of them lost by it?
8071Have you cried that?
8071Have you heard Jesus Christ saying to you,''Come... and I will give you rest''?
8071Having ears, hear ye not?''
8071Having eyes, see ye not?
8071Having eyes, see ye not?
8071He begins with the question,''How long is it ago since this came unto him?''
8071He comes to us with the heart- moving appeal,''I have given all to thee; what givest thou to Me?''
8071He did say once,''Why callest thou Me good?''
8071He had renounced his allegiance; was the renunciation to be accepted?
8071He had said,''I am not one of them''; did Christ answer,''Be it so; one of them thou shalt no more be''?
8071He has to say-- what He once said to one of the Twelve,''Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?''
8071He saith unto them, How many loaves have ye?
8071He upset their scheme with the simple question,''What is it that you want?''
8071He would have them ask,''Why this change in us, since He is the same?
8071His answer starts with a counter- question-- another''why?''
8071His voice pierced then into the dull, cold ear of death, and has it become weaker since?
8071How came a boy to be so provident?
8071How can I fling stones at any poor creature when I am so full of sin myself?
8071How can a truth operate if it is not believed?
8071How can love bless and cherish if it is not trusted?
8071How can the Spirit hallow and cleanse if it is not yielded to?
8071How can the gifts be put into it if it hangs listless by the side, or in obstinately closed and pushed behind the back?
8071How can you enter if the door be fast closed?
8071How comes that to be?
8071How comes that to be?
8071How could one who was thus nestling nearer to that heart be the betrayer?
8071How could she help it?
8071How could she sit still and not minister to Him who had done so much for her?
8071How did the women receive the message?
8071How did these questions and their answers serve as introduction to the announcement of the Cross?
8071How he would feel more and more at each step,''I am at His mercy; what is He going to do with me?''
8071How much do I trust God?
8071How much of all our service could live in the light of His felt presence?
8071How unconsciously the exclamation,''What need we further witnesses?''
8071How, then, before the palm- branches are withered, can He deserve rude hands?''
8071How, then, can any man''inherit eternal life''by good deeds, which he is only able to do because God has poured some of His own goodness into him?
8071I do not ask you, Do you want to go to Heaven or to escape Hell, when you die?
8071If He be rejected-- what then?
8071If He were so poor a creature, why were they there, all the way from Jerusalem, some of them?
8071If His word can tell as a force on material things, what is the conclusion?
8071If not, how can you pray in faith that it is?
8071If there be no such connection, how can the reservoir be filled?
8071If you fling the berries of the thorn into the winepress, will you get sweet sap out of them?
8071If you went out hence to- night, and saw some drunken ruffian beating his wife or ill- using his child, would you not do well to be angry?
8071In all your minute study of the letter of the Scripture, did you never take heed to that page?
8071In that wonderful conversation, full as it is of allusions to Peter''s fall, Christ asks but one question,''Lovest thou Me?''
8071In the whirl of agitation of that morning, would any one be at leisure to take much note of the exact minute?
8071In this connection, too, is it not striking to notice how long His short life and ministry appeared to our Lord Himself?
8071In view of these, what should make us doubt?
8071Is it less mighty or less loving now?
8071Is it not enough?
8071Is it not waste to buy disappointments at the price of a soul and of a life?
8071Is it the voice of a Divine Judge, or of a man judging in his own cause, which speaks this passionless sentence?
8071Is not He here doing what He tells us to do;''Let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth''?
8071Is not His command still,''Give ye them to eat''?
8071Is not all this too an everlasting revelation of our Lord''s attitude?
8071Is not his place in the hospital?
8071Is not that silent, unobserved Presence, with His keen searching eye that lights on all, a solemn parable of a perpetual truth?
8071Is not that the meaning of His own Incarnation?
8071Is not that the meaning of the altars, and priests, and sacrifices, and the old cumbrous apparatus of the Mosaic law?
8071Is not that the meaning of the whole complicated system of Old Testament revelation?
8071Is not the calm, effortless forth- putting of His will the cause and the means of Creation?
8071Is not the purest, most unselfish, highest love, that by which the least failure in response is felt most painfully?
8071Is not the same question coming to us?
8071Is not this the description of a mournfully large proportion of hearers of God''s truth?
8071Is sin, then, a passport to His deeper love?
8071Is there any saving power in them?
8071Is there not in it, too, a lesson for all you good- hearted Christian men and women, in all your work?
8071Is this thy fervid love?''
8071It is easy to answer that; but this is the all- important interrogation,''Whom do_ ye_ say that I am?''
8071It is to Mark that we owe our knowledge of that accent of complaint in their words, for he alone gives their''Carest Thou not?''
8071It is wiser to cry''Is it I?''
8071Jesus Christ has a great many strange things in His treasure- house-- widows''mites, cups of water, Mary''s broken vase-- has He anything of yours?
8071Jesus wondered at the slowness of the disciples to learn their lesson, and the wonder was reflected in the sad question,''Have ye not_ yet_ faith?''
8071John asked''Who is it?''
8071John''s disciples came and said,''Why do not your disciples fast?''
8071LAMPS AND BUSHELS''And Jesus said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed?
8071LOVE''S QUESTION''What wilt thou that I should do unto thee?''
8071Let us just recall the principle already referred to, that the''salt''implies the whole cleansing divine energies, and ask what are these?
8071Many of them would be saying in their hearts, and perhaps some in words,''Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?''
8071May I add one more emotion which seems to me to be unmistakably expressed by this rapid fusilade of questions?
8071May I make a very simple, close personal application of this thought?
8071May I venture to speak direct to this hypothetical person, whose originals are dotted about in my audience?
8071May not the difference between the time of starting and that of arrival solve some of the difficulty?
8071May we not fairly apply this lesson to ourselves?
8071May we not say this is a divine hope?
8071May we venture to put stress on the fact that He does not say that He will reject them?
8071May we venture to say, as we have already hinted, that all this pain is in some mysterious way still inflicted on His loving heart?
8071Note, too, the tinge of irony in that''Did ye_ never_ read?''
8071Now, what do you think of the man that did that?
8071Now, why was that?
8071Of whom has it been true from of old that''He spake and it was done, He commanded and it stood fast''?
8071One says,''Why doth He thus speak?''
8071Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
8071Our delight should be in obedience, and only when our wills are submitted to His does He say to us,''What wilt thou?''
8071RECEIVING AND FORBIDDING''And He came to Capernaum: and being in the house He asked them, What was it that ye disputed among yourselves by the way?
8071Saying, Let us alone; what have we to do with Thee, Thou Jesus of Nazareth?
8071Shall not we be restful and confident when our Brother, the Son of Man, sits ruling all things?
8071Shall we not always subordinate-- and sometimes, if needful, sacrifice-- the less to the greater?
8071Should it not be enough?
8071Suppose Jesus Christ stood where I stand, and spoke to you:''What wilt thou that I should do for you?''
8071Suppose their self- living had been''successful''to the highest point, what would be the good of all the world to a dead man?
8071Suppose you had this wishing- cap that Christ put on Bartimaeus''s head put on yours: what would you ask?
8071THE ALABASTER BOX''And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her?
8071THE PATIENT TEACHER, AND THE SLOW SCHOLARS''And when Jesus knew It, He saith unto them, Why reason ye, because ye have no bread?
8071THE SECRET OF GLADNESS''And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them?''
8071TOUCH OR FAITH?
8071That you may go to Heaven?
8071That your sins may be forgiven?
8071The distinct intention of the question,''What is thy name?''
8071The first lesson to be gathered from these words is drawn from the name by which our Lord here addresses the apostle:''_ Simon_, sleepest thou?''
8071The first question is-- Miracle or Plan?
8071The question is not how much have I done, or given, but could I have done or given more?
8071The question which tests us is not merely,''Whom do men say that I am?''
8071The second question,''But whom say ye that I am?''
8071The self- distrustful question,''Is it I?''
8071The world is today full of moaning voices crying,''Art thou He that should come, or do we look for another?''
8071Then Pilate said unto them, Why, what evil hath He done?
8071Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?
8071There is safety in asking Him,''Is it I?''
8071These are the gifts; and how can these be given to a man if he has not trust in the Giver?
8071They thought it impossible, as they felt the throbbing of their own hearts-- and yet-- and yet-- might it not be?
8071They very naturally said''Where?''
8071This man wanted his eyesight: do we not want too?
8071This my joy therefore is fulfilled''?
8071This same Peter once asked,''How oft shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him?''
8071This was the Lord''s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
8071To one who lives ever in the Father''s bosom, what can seem so strange as that men should prefer homeless exposedness and dreary loneliness?
8071To one whose eyes ever behold unseen realities, what so marvellous as men''s blindness?
8071To us, too, comes the loving rebuke of this question,''How long shall I suffer you?''
8071To whom should they be rendered?
8071Typical, too, is it not, of a Christian''s blessed death?
8071Was He flinging away His life in mere despair?
8071Was He sinfully neglecting precautions?
8071Was ever the irony of history more pungently exemplified than in an Annas and Caiaphas holding up hands of horror at the''blasphemies''of Jesus?
8071Was it not a strange time to squabble when they had just been told of His death?
8071Was it not all a picture- book in which the infant eyes of the race might see in a material form deep spiritual realities?
8071Was it the faith of the bearers, or of the sick man, which Christ rewarded?
8071Was not that the meaning and explanation of our Lord''s parabolic teaching?
8071Was not the answer,''We are able,''too bold?
8071Was that Sabbath work?
8071Was the same fanaticism of martyrdom which has often told upon men, acting upon Him?
8071Was there toil for the divine nature in the making of a universe?
8071Was there, then, no example in this scene of that other requirement?
8071We might paraphrase it somewhat thus: Did you say''If thou canst do anything''?
8071We might read these other words of our text,''How long shall I suffer you?''
8071Were their prayers so very unlike the wishes of many of us?
8071Were these His reasons?
8071What are the blessings that Jesus Christ bestows?
8071What are the powers by which Christ works upon men''s hearts?
8071What are you a Christian for?
8071What cared the Pharisees whether the poor cripple was healed or no?
8071What could have been done more to my vineyard that I have not done in it?''
8071What could such a man see in Jesus but a harmless visionary?
8071What describes such a type of religion with more piercing accuracy than''nothing but leaves''?
8071What did Christ seek?
8071What did he feel as he passed swiftly into the shadow of the olives, and caught the first sight of Jesus?
8071What do we mean when we say about a man,''He can do it, if he likes,''but to imply that it is so easy to do it, that it would be cruel not to do it?
8071What do you think of popular judgment?
8071What does Jesus do when thus''wounded in the house of His friends''?
8071What does that view of the words suggest to us?
8071What does the world care about the ceremonials and the externals of worship, and a painful orthodoxy, and the study of the letter of Scripture?
8071What has become of the seven churches of Asia Minor?
8071What have you laid up in these memories of yours to start into life some day:''at the last biting like a serpent and stinging like an adder''?
8071What if I do not heal him?
8071What if the eternal youth of the heavens means, amongst other things, that_ there_ are pleasures which always satisfy but never cloy?
8071What if, after all that we have learned and all that we have received, we still have to say,''It doth not yet appear what we shall be''?
8071What if, in perpetual advance, we find and keep for ever that ever new gladness, which here we vainly seek in perpetual distraction?
8071What imagination shall fill out the details of the''worse than''which lurks behind that''better''?
8071What is all Christian living but following Christ afar off?
8071What is it which these, thy sins, witness against thee?''
8071What is the reason?
8071What is this watchfulness?
8071What may have been the reason?
8071What more do we learn from Christ''s toil?
8071What more do we learn from our Lord''s toils?
8071What more is needed?
8071What must He, who takes this name as His own, have thought Himself to be to the world, and the world to Him?
8071What raised them from the stupor of despair and incredulity?
8071What right had He thus calmly to pronounce condemnation?
8071What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do?
8071What sort of a man was he?
8071What thirsty lips since that week have ever got any good out of Rabbinism and Judaism?
8071What took our Lord back there?
8071What was He that treachery to Him should be a crime so transcendent?
8071What was it that drew that sigh from the heart of Jesus?
8071What was it that made these humble lives so glad when Christ was with them, filling them with strange new sweetness and power?
8071What was new in Christ''s return to His Father''s bosom?
8071What was the meaning of it?
8071What went into the herd of swine?
8071What were they thinking about?
8071What would He think if He came to us and tested us?
8071What would they do if He were to go away from them altogether?
8071What, then, did He teach when He said,''This is My blood of the covenant, which is shed for many''?
8071What_ could_ the disciples say, as they sat there in the great calm, in answer to Christ''s question,''Why are ye fearful?''
8071When He says to each,''Answerest thou nothing?
8071Whence had this man His wisdom and mighty works?
8071Where are Ephesus and the other apocalyptic churches?
8071Where did_ He_ get His wisdom?''
8071Where do we learn that faith must be complete to be genuine?
8071Where had they come from?
8071Where is''the right hand of God''?
8071Where should a doctor be but where disease is rife?
8071Where was the body?
8071Where were Salome''s ambitious hopes for her two sons now?
8071Wherefore was he there?
8071Which of us could stand it?
8071Which?
8071While the other disciples asked''Is it I?''
8071Who are near?
8071Who can count the glancing wings of the white- winged flock of sea- birds as they sail and turn in the sunshine?
8071Who can tell what the harvest is going to be?
8071Who entered?
8071Who is He?''
8071Who that had the faintest glimmer of what He was could suppose that the stern, fiery spirits of Elijah or John had come to life again in Him?
8071Who was it that frightened Herod?
8071Who was likely to have told him such an insignificant thing as that?
8071Who_ might_ have been expected to be its witnesses?
8071Whose name is stamped upon our spirits?
8071Why are our possessions in God so small, our power so weak?
8071Why did Christ begin by asking about the popular judgment of His personality?
8071Why did He act thus?
8071Why did He do that?
8071Why did He stoop and touch the woman, and take her by the hand and gently lift her up?
8071Why do we read''He rested on the seventh day from all His works''?
8071Why do ye spend that money thus?
8071Why does it not do so with Christ''s act?
8071Why have so many Christian men so little joy in their lives?
8071Why have so many Christians so little joy in their lives?
8071Why is it that we do not understand?
8071Why not?
8071Why to the dying protomartyr was there granted that vision thus varied?
8071Why were their hearts being hardened?
8071Why''must''He suffer?
8071Why, then, did he not begin by questioning Jesus, and do without the witnesses?
8071Why?
8071Why?
8071Why?
8071Why?
8071Will not that be a worse breach of the Sabbath day than if I heal him?''
8071Will that be doing nothing?
8071Will you not answer His sovereign word of promise with your''Lord, I believe''?
8071Would not that kindle an expectation in him?
8071Would you like to live always in the light of His face?
8071Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?
8071_ Why_ did He wish to baffle the traitor?
8071am I weak as water, and saying I am strong?''
8071and another said, Is it I?
8071and are not His sisters here with us?
8071and do ye not remember?''
8071and how then will ye know all parables?
8071and in which hand is the sceptre?
8071and not to be set on a candlestick?''
8071and what shall be the sign of Thy coming?''
8071and what wisdom is this which is given unto Him, that even such mighty works are wrought by His hands?
8071and who instructed Him, and taught Him?''
8071art Thou come to destroy us?
8071as addressed to the tossing waves, smoothing them to a calm plain?
8071behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?''
8071brethren, if it were not for the heavenward look, how could we bear the sight of earth?
8071couldest not thou watch one hour?
8071dear friends, does He not wonder at us?
8071hast thou responded to My love?
8071have weakened and corrupted the Church for hundreds of years?
