Finding questions that Jesus asked
i checked out my homepage and it showed a book which was on sale
The Red Letter Questions: Meditations on the Questions Jesus Asked
This made me curious, i wanted to know if i could find the questions using Logos 4. Then i realized that i had a book 'All the Questions in the Bible' in my library. So it kinda works, see my steps below if you want to have a challenge.
1. Open All the Questions in the Bible in your Library.
2. Use your mouse to select all the questions in Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John.
3. Open a new Passage list and name it Questions Matt, Mark, Luke & John. (i did one book at a time and added headings prior to each book in the passage list)
4. Now click on the Add button in the passage list and in the drop down menu click on ...selected text. Logos 4 adds all the scripture references
5. Now open a Search window and select one of your Bibles which has Words of Christ as a search field (see this wiki Search Fields area to determine if you Bible has Words of Christ as a search field)
6. Click on the All Bible Text field and in then in the drop down click on Search Fields and when it is expanded click on Words of Christ to check it.
7. Now click on the All passages field and in the drop down slide down to the Passage List area and find the passage list you built in step 1-4.
8. Now in the Find box type: the, you, to, who, what, why, how then click the blue arrow on the right side of the Find box.
9. In the NIV84 Bible it found 354 verses. The number of hits is a don't care.
10. If you want then you can click in the Search menu to create a new passage list from the search results (i named it Questions that Jesus asked).
This may or may not be completely comprehensive, but it is probably close. Also the book that was advertised probably has much more details in its meditations. But this might be sufficient for my study.

Thank you Steve!
Just coincidental but today I was reading the new Semites book (yes, $8!!) which had several sections in the back, one of which discussed the ancient interplay of 'salt', which then led to your copied passage. So of course, I had to closely examine your example.

Yes, the title of the book does sound interesting, i will study some of these questions too.

Yes, there always is the question if my search found every question of Christ. But for my use what i found will more than keep me busy. Thanks for the link to the other post, others may want to be more thorough or concise.

Personally modified search a bit and added a shortcut in Logos 4 (much to ponder):
