Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: Jesus’ Questions - Logos Forums

This is an example of there being many ways to accomplish the search; you may wish to try more than one to see where and if the results differ.

There's also this book:

Jesus Is the Question: The 307 Questions Jesus Asked and the 3 He Answered

why not:

question:* INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus

Assuming one has access to the "Questions in the Bible" dataset.

 Use the Bible Browser, especially if you don't know a lot about the syntax (like me).

Choose Interrogative Sentence under the Sentence Types and choose Jesus under Speakers.

Here are those results:

Bible search (speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS sentence:"Interrogative Sentence")

 speaker:Jesus INTERSECTS label:question gives almost the same results as the above. And you can refine the results using the dataset documentation  e.g. to exclude rhetorical questions.

(@BI OR @RI OR @TI OR @BC OR @CAC) INTERSECTS speaker:Jesus) was useful...

Useful, but the extra results are marginal in the sense that the verses are immediately adjacent to a result from the main term. There may have been an oversight in compiling the datasets.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
