How do I find all the Questions of Jesus? I've been trying to search the Gospels for all of the questions of Jesus. Can anyone help me?

Hi Adron
Starting from what Dave suggested in https://community.logos.com/forums/p/19890/152064.aspx#152064 the search below is as close as I can get
If any of the pieces don't make sense please post back

Thanks Graham, this is better than what i came up with.
would it be easier to search the speaker Jesus with the "?" character?
I tried that, but I think I wrote it wrong. How would the query look?
No, since Logos doesn't index any punctuaton. Searching for "?" or any character like this only works in the Ctrl-F ("find"), not in the 'real' Logos search.
That's an interesting question and a tough one to answer with a morphological query. Graham's search (and he easily knows a gazillion times more about Logos than I do) is a good place to start.
But the underlying Greek makes it hard to come up with a complete list for at least a couple reasons. First, an interrogative word isn't required in a question. Second, Greek typically uses lots of rhetorical questions, and to determine which sentences are questions requires case-by-case judgment from context and other factors.
Not to sound ornery or anything, but the best way to find all the questions of Yeishuu`a is to read everything He said and then note the questions. I feel like with every new release, people are getting more and more dependent on the software to do their thinking for them. Suppose there was a book entitled "All the Questions of Jesus"...would you just take that book's contents as the final word on the subject? I certainly hope not. Even if the authors were absolutely comprehensive, the only way you could know if they were or not would be to go through the motions yourself. I don't understand why so many folks want to construct "search strings" to find stuff when the only way to know if the string was successful or not is to roll up one's sleeves and dig into the Book the old fashioned way...BY READING IT.

There's All the Questions in the Bible [:)]

not perfect, but this is pretty close:
search the passage list for {Speaker <Person Jesus>} I got 586 results in 501 verses. Most of them are questions, all are spoken by Jesus.
This shows there is a problem searching passages for {Speaker} as different results are returned
