Questionology
In the Old Testament, there are 2,273 questions, the largest number found in Job. Only Zephaniah has no questions.
In the New Testament, there are 1,024 questions, the largest number found in Matthew. 2 Timothy, Titus, 2 John, 3 John, and Jude have no questions.
My favorite question is from Matthew 16:13-15: "When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi and he asked his disciples,'Who do people say the Son of Man is?' They replied, 'Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.' 'But what about you?' he asked. 'Who do you say I am?' "
The answer in Matthew 16:16-17 is just as amazing as the question: "Simon Peter answered, 'You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.' Jesus replied,'Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven.' "
