57 | GEN 3:1 | When Yahweh God made all the animals, there was one snake that was very good at tricking people. It was better than all the other animals. The snake went to the woman and spoke to her. “God said to you, ‘Don't eat the fruit of any of these trees.’ Did he really say that?” |
65 | GEN 3:9 | But Yahweh God called out to the man, “Where are you?” |
67 | GEN 3:11 | God said to him, “Who told you that you were naked? Did you eat the fruit that I told you not to eat?” |
69 | GEN 3:13 | Then Yahweh God said to the woman, “Why did you do that?” She answered, “The snake tricked me and I ate it.” |
89 | GEN 4:9 | Yahweh said to Cain, “Where is your brother?” He answered, “Don't ask me, I don't know. Why should I look after my brother?” |
369 | GEN 15:8 | But Abram said, “Lord Yahweh, how will I know this land belongs to me?” |
390 | GEN 16:8 | He said to Hagar, “You are the girl who has been working for Sarai, aren't you? What are you doing here? Where have you come from and where are you going?” Hagar answered, “I am running away from Sarai.” |
416 | GEN 17:18 | He asked God, “Why can't Ishmael have my things when I die?” |
434 | GEN 18:9 | Then they asked Abraham, “Where is your wife Sarah?” He answered, “She is there inside.” |
437 | GEN 18:12 | So Sarah laughed to herself and thought, “How can I have a child? Now that I am an old woman, I am weak. How can I do that? My husband is already an old man. How can we have a child?” |
453 | GEN 18:28 | But maybe there will only be forty-five good people. If there aren't five more, will you destroy the whole city?” Yahweh answered, “No. I will not destroy the city today.” |
454 | GEN 18:29 | Then Abraham spoke again. He said, “Maybe there will only be forty good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “Then I will not destroy the city today.” |
455 | GEN 18:30 | Abraham said, “Please don't be angry, Lord, but let me speak again. Maybe there will only be thirty good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “Then I will not destroy the city today.” |
456 | GEN 18:31 | Abraham said, “I am bold still speaking to you, Lord, but please let me say more. Maybe there will only be twenty good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “Then I will not destroy the city today.” |
457 | GEN 18:32 | Abraham said, “Please don't be angry, Lord, and I will speak just once more. Maybe there will only be ten good people. Then what will you do?” Yahweh answered, “If there are ten good people I will not destroy the city.” |
506 | GEN 20:10 | Why did you do it?” |
540 | GEN 21:26 | Abimelech said, “I didn't know that. You didn't tell me about it, and this is the first time I have heard of it. Who could have taken it?” |
543 | GEN 21:29 | “Why did you do that?” asked Abimelech. |
555 | GEN 22:7 | Isaac said to his father, “Father!” His father said, “What is it?” “Here are the firewood and coals, but where is the lamb for you to burn as a sacrifice?” the boy asked. |
559 | GEN 22:11 | But Yahweh's angel called out to him from heaven and said, “Abraham!” Abraham answered, “What is it?” |
597 | GEN 24:5 | But the servant said, “Maybe the girl won't want to come here. Shall I send your son back to that country to stay there?” |
615 | GEN 24:23 | He said, “Who is your father? Is there room in his house for my men and me to stay for the night?” |
650 | GEN 24:58 | So they called Rebecca and asked, “Do you want to go with this man?” “Yes,” she answered. |
657 | GEN 24:65 | and asked Abraham's servant, “Who is that man walking towards us?” He answered, “He is my master.” So she took a cloth and covered her face. |
681 | GEN 25:22 | She knew that she was going to have twins. Before they were born they struggled together inside her. Rebecca said, “Oh dear, what has happened to me?” So she prayed to Yahweh about the children. |
691 | GEN 25:32 | Esau said, “All right! I am dying of hunger, so what good is it to me if I am the firstborn?” |
702 | GEN 26:9 | Abimelech called for Isaac and said to him, “She is your wife, isn't she! Why did you tell people she was your sister?” Isaac said, “I thought, ‘People here might kill me so that they can take my wife.’” |
729 | GEN 27:1 | Isaac was now an old man and he was blind. He called for his older son Esau and said to him, “Son!” “What is it?” he answered. |
746 | GEN 27:18 | Then Jacob went and took the food to his father and said, “Father!” “What is it?” his father said. “Which of my sons are you?” |
748 | GEN 27:20 | The old man said, “Son! How did you find the animal so quickly?” Jacob said, “Yahweh your God helped me, so I found it quickly.” |
749 | GEN 27:21 | Isaac said, “Come closer and let me touch you. Are you really Esau?” |
752 | GEN 27:24 | but again he asked him, “Are you really Esau?” “Yes,” said Jacob. |
760 | GEN 27:32 | “Who are you?” Isaac asked. Esau answered, “I am your firstborn son, Esau.” |
761 | GEN 27:33 | The old man was very upset and began to shake all over. He said, “Someone has killed an animal and brought me the meat before you. I have eaten it and given him my special blessing already. I can't take back those words. That blessing is his forever. Who was that person?” |
764 | GEN 27:36 | Esau said, “I am your firstborn son, but he tricked me before, and so now he is like your firstborn son. And now he has done it again. You should have given me that special blessing, but he got it. Oh dear, it is his now! Twice he has tricked me. Truly he is called Jacob. Please, isn't there a blessing for me too?” The name Jacob means “he tricks people.” |
774 | GEN 27:46 | Then she went to her husband Isaac and said, “Those women from here that Esau married don't belong to us; they are Hittites. I am tired of them. If Jacob also takes one of them for a wife, then what good will that do me?” |
800 | GEN 29:4 | Jacob asked the shepherds, “Where do you come from?” “From Haran,” they answered. |
801 | GEN 29:5 | Jacob asked, “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” “Yes,” they said. |
802 | GEN 29:6 | “Is he well?” he asked. “He is well,” they answered. “Look, here comes his daughter Rachel, who looks after his sheep. She is bringing them to drink.” |
803 | GEN 29:7 | Jacob said, “The sun is still high, so you can't take your sheep inside yet. Why don't you let them drink and take them back to the grass?” |
811 | GEN 29:15 | Laban said to Jacob, “You shouldn't work for me for nothing just because you are my nephew. How much money will I give you?” |
846 | GEN 30:15 | Leah answered, “You have already taken my husband away from me. Are you going to take my son's mandrakes away too?” Rachel said, “If you give me some mandrakes, you can sleep with Jacob tonight.” In that country the people thought that if women ate mandrakes they would become pregnant. |
859 | GEN 30:28 | You have worked for me, so tell me the amount of money, and I will give it to you. How much do you want?” |
862 | GEN 30:31 | “How much will I give you?” Laban asked. Jacob said, “I don't want any money. Just let me go and take the black lambs and young goats that are spotted. I will take those and that is all. From today you can easily find out if I am honest. When you look and see any goat of mine that is not spotted or any sheep that is not black, you will know that it has been stolen. If you agree, I will go on looking after your sheep and goats.” |
904 | GEN 31:30 | I know you were always thinking about going home and that is why you left, but you have stolen my gods. Why did you steal them?” |
956 | GEN 32:28 | The man asked, “What is your name?” “I am Jacob,” he answered. |
958 | GEN 32:30 | Jacob said, “Tell me your name.” But he answered, “Why do you want to know my name?” Then he blessed Jacob. |
966 | GEN 33:5 | Esau looked up and saw the children and their mothers. He said, “Who are these people?” Jacob said, “God has been kind to me and given me these children.” |
969 | GEN 33:8 | Esau said, “Those animals I saw on the way, what did they mean?” Jacob answered, “They are yours. I wanted you to be happy.” |
1094 | GEN 37:10 | He also told his father. His father was angry with him. “What kind of dream was that?” he said. “Are you thinking your mother and brothers and I will come and bow down to you?” |
1099 | GEN 37:15 | He was wandering around searching for his brothers. But a man saw him and asked, “What are you looking for?” |
1100 | GEN 37:16 | “I am looking for my older brothers,” Joseph said. “They are looking after their sheep and goats. If you know where they are, can you tell me?” |
1113 | GEN 37:29 | But when the others gave Joseph to those people Reuben wasn't there. He came back to them and looked in the well but Joseph wasn't in the well. He tore the coat he was wearing because he was so upset. He said, “He is not in the well! What can I do?” |
1116 | GEN 37:32 | Then they went home taking the coat back to their father. “We found this coat. Isn't it Joseph's coat?” they said. |
1136 | GEN 38:16 | So Judah didn't know it was his daughter-in-law Tamar. He went over to her at the side of the road and said, “Come on, how much money do you want?” She said, “What will you give me?” |
1138 | GEN 38:18 | He asked, “What can I lend you?” She said, “That cord of yours with your name and the walking stick you are carrying.” So he gave them to her and they slept together and he made her pregnant. |
1141 | GEN 38:21 | He asked some men there, “Where is that bad woman who was sitting at the side of the road?” They answered, “There have never been any women who sleep with other men in this place. And there aren't any here today.” |
1180 | GEN 40:7 | “Why are you so upset today?” he asked. |
1260 | GEN 42:7 | When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but they didn't recognize him. He behaved as though he didn't know them and asked angrily, “Where do you come from?” “We have come from Canaan to buy food,” they answered. |
1281 | GEN 42:28 | He called to his brothers and said, “Here is my money in my bag. They have returned it to me!” This gave them a shock and they were very frightened and asked each other, “What has God done to us?” |
1318 | GEN 43:27 | Then he said, “Are you well? You told me before about your father. Is he well? Is he still alive and well?” |
1340 | GEN 44:15 | “Why did you do that?” Joseph said to them. “Didn't you know that I am the governor and I know things that are hidden from other people, and so I know everything you have done?” |
1362 | GEN 45:3 | Joseph said to his brothers, “I am your brother Joseph. Is my father still alive?” But when they heard that he was their brother they were so afraid they couldn't answer. |
1389 | GEN 46:2 | That night Jacob saw God in a vision. God called to him and said, “Jacob!” Jacob answered, “What is it?” |
1424 | GEN 47:3 | The king said to them, “What work do you do?” They answered, “We are shepherds just as our ancestors were. |
1429 | GEN 47:8 | The king asked him, “How old are you?” |
1460 | GEN 48:8 | When Jacob saw Ephraim and Manasseh, he said to Joseph, “Who are these boys?” |
1522 | GEN 50:15 | After their father had died, Joseph's brothers said, “Maybe Joseph still hates us. Maybe he has decided to do something bad to us, because of what we did to him first. What shall we do?” |
22608 | JON 1:8 | Then they said to Jonah, “Now then, tell us! You are the one who has done wrong, are you? What are you doing here on this ship? Which is your country? Where have you come from?” |
22611 | JON 1:11 | The wind and the sea kept on rising higher and higher and getting rougher. Then the men said to Jonah, “What should we do to you to stop this storm?” |
24980 | LUK 1:18 | Zechariah asked the angel, “How will I know this is true? I am an old man now and my wife is old too. How can this happen to us?” |
24991 | LUK 1:29 | Mary was upset by his words and she said to herself, “What does it mean? Why has he told me that?” |
24996 | LUK 1:34 | Mary said, “I have never slept with a man, so how can I have a son?” |
25028 | LUK 1:66 | They didn't forget, they kept thinking about it. They said, “When this child grows up, what sort of person will he be?” They knew that the Lord God was really looking after the child. |
25091 | LUK 2:49 | Jesus answered, “Why did you go looking everywhere else? You should have come here first. Didn't you know I would be busy here in my Father's house?” |
25104 | LUK 3:10 | They all said, “Help! Then what can we do?” |
25106 | LUK 3:12 | There were some people who worked for the Roman rulers taking tax money from other people to give to the Romans. They also came to John to be baptized and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” |
25108 | LUK 3:14 | Some soldiers asked, “What about us? What should we do?” John said to them, “You make people afraid, beating them so they will give you their money. And you blame good people, when they have done nothing wrong. That is bad, so stop doing it. And even if you only get a little bit of money for your work, don't grumble about it.” |
25154 | LUK 4:22 | All the people who heard Jesus began talking about him. “He speaks very well,” they said, “but isn't he Joseph's son?” |
25168 | LUK 4:36 | All the people in the synagogue were very surprised. “What kind of words are these?” they said to each other. “This man speaks strong words, doesn't he? He rules over the spirits like a great ruler, and they come out.” |
25224 | LUK 6:9 | Then Jesus said to all the people who were sitting inside the synagogue, “Tell me now, what does Moses' law tell us to do? Should we do good on the Sabbath or bad? Should we save people or kill them?” |
25226 | LUK 6:11 | The teachers of Moses' law and the Pharisees were filled with anger. They began to say to each other, “What can we do with this man?” |
25284 | LUK 7:20 | Then the two men left. They walked until they found Jesus. They said, “We have come from John the Baptist. He has told us about an important person who is to come here. Maybe you are the one. If you are not, then maybe we will have to wait for someone else. John wants to know about you, so please tell us. Who are you?” |
25306 | LUK 7:42 | But they didn't have any money, so they couldn't pay him back. After he had waited a very long time, the man said to them, “It is all right. You needn't pay me back, because you haven't got any money. I will forget about that money.” “So tell me, Simon,” Jesus said to him. “Which of those men only loved him a little and which one loved him very much?” |
25323 | LUK 8:9 | Jesus' disciples said to him, “What does the story mean?” |
25339 | LUK 8:25 | Jesus said to his disciples, “Why can't you trust me?” But they were amazed and frightened. “Who is this man?” they said to each other. “He speaks to the wind and the waves and they obey him!” |
25344 | LUK 8:30 | Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is ‘Mob,’” he answered, because many evil spirits had gone into him. |
25359 | LUK 8:45 | Jesus said to all the people, “Who touched me?” Everyone said that they hadn't touched him. And Peter said, “Master, people are all around you touching you.” |
25379 | LUK 9:9 | Herod couldn't understand what they were saying. He said to himself, “What do they mean? I told one of my soldiers and he cut John's head off! So who is this man they are talking about?” Then he wanted very much to try and see Jesus with his own eyes. |
25383 | LUK 9:13 | Jesus said to them, “You give them something to eat yourselves.” They said, “We have five dampers and two fish but that's all. We can't feed all these people, there are too many. Do you want us to go and buy food for them all?” |
25388 | LUK 9:18 | One day Jesus was by himself praying to God, and his disciples came to him. Jesus said to them, “When people are talking together, who do they say that I am?” |
25390 | LUK 9:20 | “But what about you?” Jesus said to them. “Who do you say I am?” Peter answered, “You are the Lord, the one God spoke about long ago. God said, ‘I am going to send someone to save my people.’ So you must be that person, the Messiah.” |
25411 | LUK 9:41 | Jesus said to the people, “You people are very hard, and you don't believe in me yet. I am tired of you all. When can I leave you?” Then he said to the man, “Come here and bring your son.” |
25415 | LUK 9:45 | But the disciples didn't know what he meant. His words were hidden from them so that they couldn't understand. They didn't ask him, “What do you mean?” because they were too frightened. |
25416 | LUK 9:46 | Then Jesus' disciples began arguing with each other. They said, “Which one of us is the most important? Which one will rule over the others?” |
25424 | LUK 9:54 | When those men found Jesus and his disciples again, they told Jesus about the Samaritan people not wanting him. Then James and John said to Jesus, “Lord, do you want us to ask God to send fire down from heaven to burn up these Samaritans?” |
25457 | LUK 10:25 | Then one day while Jesus and some other people were sitting talking together, a teacher of Moses' law stood up to speak. He wanted to trick Jesus, so he asked him a question. “Teacher,” he said, “what must I do so that my spirit won't die but live forever?” |
25458 | LUK 10:26 | Jesus answered, “When you read the law of Moses, what does it tell you to do?” |
25461 | LUK 10:29 | The man still wanted to trick Jesus, and so he said, “Who is the neighbour I should love?” |
25468 | LUK 10:36 | Jesus told this story to the teacher of Moses' law and then he said to him, “Now, which one of those three helped the man the robbers had beaten the way you should help your neighbour?” |
