In the Bible, Jesus often doesn’t answer the questions people ask him. Instead, he asks a question in return. For instance, when asked to give his views on taxes, he responds, “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” (Luke 20:24). Or when Jesus is asked where he gets his authority, he says, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me: John’s baptism—was it from heaven, or of human origin?” (Luke 20:3–4).
