How many questions are asked in the bible

He did not intend to. I have always thought that Jesus was the Son of God, even when I did not follow him. But I knew little about him. What I have learned along the way is that he is much more than I ever imagined:.

Do you want to know him personally? Believe in the Son of God with a sincere heart, and you will be saved. This is the gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ. The world, and in some cases family members, is increasingly hostile towards Christians. I can recall the very first time that I told my parents that I was a follower of Jesus Christ, and their response was surprise and confusion at my newfound faith.

I was very clumsy in telling them that they needed to make a decision about who Jesus was sooner rather than later, for hell is the destination of those who do not proclaim him as Lord. The real number I was dying to get my hands on was this one.

How many other people were brave enough to ask Jesus questions and how many did He actually answer? Included in these questions and answers is the famous conversation between Nicodemus, the repetitive question and answer between Peter and Jesus, as well as the infamous questioning by the Rich Young Ruler, among many others. This is where the meat of the interactions between Jesus and the Pharisees as well as the High Priests.

But if Christ answered 61 questions — how many did He choose not answer? I mean there has to be a ton of those, right? Most questions humans ask are dumb. I assumed so. Only two did He take a pass on. And also the question by Pilate He refused to answer. That is astounding really. I mean, we are human after all, and He is God. If you include into that number all the named individual questions that the disciples asked, which were, Phillip, Thomas, Peter, and Judas Iscariat that number jumps to 25 total.

These were some of the most intimate conversations Christ had during his time on earth. I think of the rapid fire question — answer, question — answer, question — answer, between Jesus and Peter as a prime example.

Some were less intimate but still just as interesting like the discussion between the Jesus and the disciples regarding the poll tax a few officials outside the house were wanting to collect.

Should we pay? Should we not? The disciples had one of the most coveted seats in all of the history of the earth. They had no less than direct daily interaction with the God Man. To know everything they discussed would be priceless, absolutely priceless. And yet right here in front of us we have 25 key questions that Jesus answered — right here for the studying.

Now, conversely, if you are interested in all the questions the Disciples were asked by Jesus, I was too. If you include that individual disciples that were specifically named the number jumps to The two individuals that Jesus asked questions of by name were Nathan and Peter. Of the 72 questions Jesus answered, 4 of the questions were asked by women.

Obviously the actual number of questions were significantly higher than this, but to have four recorded questions is really significant.

Jesus also was noted for asking questions of two women, once of his mother, and the other was of the woman caught in Adultery. Obviously I could go on like this for days. How many hostile questions were asked hint, a lot. What about all 14 questions Jesus asked multitudes? What was he constantly asking them? How about the 10 different questions he asked of the Pharisees and the Sadducees? What was that all about? Or, how about this? Why did Jesus ask 52 questions that He chose to answer Himself?

What were they? There are so many interesting details in this data that I could talk about for months and months. I have created a zip file of my Questions Access database.

I have also created an Excel pivot table as well for ease of use for those of you who may not understand how to customize the database personally. Inside the database I have also created views into the data for some of the most obvious sorts of the data.

But mostly, the biggest bonus, is that you can ask the data anything you want. And to find out more, just head on over to QuestionsJesusAnswered. Very interesting in deed! I am thankful for the high percentage of questions Jesus asked and answered himself. Your study reminds me of a similar but half-hearted attempt I made last year concerning intercessory prayer.

So I set off to keep track of every instance in the NT where someone prayed for another person, thinking there would be many. I think I got through 1 Thess before I gave up. There are tons of examples, especially from Paul.

Hey there Stephanie! I would LOVE to read your study on intercessory prayer. That would be very fascinating indeed. I mean beyond the obvious. We know that God gives us the desires of our heart… and he also gives us our desires… and therefore we are better aligned with Him.

Kind of a chicken egg problem. But ultimately our prayer should be for His Will… and not our own. But your study sounds brilliant.

How many questions was Jesus asked by other people regardless of whethet Jesus answeed it or not, correct? But by doing some math from what I did post above I was able to guess that the number you are looking for if I stated it correctly above would be — that he was asked 75 unique questions throughout the gospels. Your original post said he answered , but only 72 were asked by others.

I have a friend who thinks the total number of questions recorded in the gospels is over I hope that helps clarify my question. But my first guess is that your friend is listing every question Jesus was regardless of whether it is the same story recorded in more than one gospel. Make sense? I removed all te duplicate questions. I only counted that question once. Alright, So I really tried to clean up the excel sheet and really evaluated again if the question was really answered or not — which really is quite subjective sometimes — and came up with the following data:.

The total number of unique questions posed to or by Christ totaled out to be Total number of non-unique questions throughout the gospels is in the range. Hopefully that makes more sense presented that way? Matthew 2. Matthew 3. Matthew 4. Matthew 5. Mark 6. Luke 7. Luke Would love to hear if I messed up at all on others you think he did or did not answer.

Probably need to rewrite this blog post from the ground up to make it more clear… and to also update the new info. Thanks for the question! Thank you so much. This is an amazing amount of research and quite a blessing. Thanks again. Thanks for the work you have done. Even though I have been a pastor for over 30 years I have to admit that I never realize that Jesus asked so many questions.

I am particularly surprised that the disciples asked so many and that women past six. God bless you. What an encouragement you are to me. A lot of times my curiosity gets me running down rabbit trails that never pay off at all. Not even to me! So to hear that you got value from this little exercise is good. No, its great! No its brilliant. So thanks for taking time out to let me know you found it interesting. God bless — would love to hear how your sermon series went.

That was very interesting, I love the idea of narrowing your focus of study to just see how people learned, when next to Jesus. I was wondering if you could possibly post a list, or make a downloadable document of all the questions and verses you compiled?

Hey Steve, Thanks. It is currently in a database, so I would need to figure out what fields and values should be exported — as well as the sort order for each. Yeah — I could. Just would take a bit of work to make it happen.

How would you list and sort it? By answered? By unanswered? Just curious. Thanks again for the comment! I was thinking it would be interesting as a design piece, or a video.

To be able to see all the questions that mankind had the chance to ask of God while he was on earth, all on one page, or in minutes. Hey there, I went back to my DB and realize I munged the order of the events when I sorted the data incorrectly. But I can work on getting it updated correcty. Just need an hour or so to just align the entries with a list of the events in the gospels paralleled. But I also did an export and saw that it could work as long as I updated that info.

Genesis — When a need arises, sometimes you have to use what you have on hand. Exodus —5. At a time when things looked desperately hopeless, Moses cried out to the Lord. The Lord surprised him by telling him to stop crying out and start moving forward. Exodus — Session Four Stand Up! After a military defeat, God made clear to Joshua that there was a secret sin in the Israelite camp. Joshua — Where Do We Find Strength? Psalm God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Proverbs The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run into it and are safe. Nehemiah Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. How many questions does God ask in the Bible? What questions did the disciples ask Jesus?

Will not the God of the earth do right? Will not the Judge of all the earth do right? What does transfigured mean in the Bible? The transfiguration of Jesus is a story told in the New Testament when Jesus is transfigured and becomes radiant in glory upon a mountain. Jesus is then called "Son" by a voice in the sky, assumed to be God the Father, as in the Baptism of Jesus. Are you your brother's keeper? A saying from the Bible's story of Cain and Abel.

After Cain had murdered his brother Abel, God asked him where his brother was.
