Who Asked the Question? A Bible Speaker and Audience Worksheet
Identify who asks, who answers, and who hears a question before applying its wording. Keep the question, response, audience, and setting together so a line cannot be detached from its conversation.

List every question in the scene
Choose a bounded dialogue and record each question with its verse, asker, current audience, and immediate response. A question can test, request, challenge, or open a conversation; the surrounding exchange helps distinguish its function.
Map selected questions around marriage, children, wealth, and the road to Jerusalem. The table records who raises each issue and how Jesus or another speaker responds; it does not turn every question into a universal test for readers.
Write the explicit answer or action in one column and your interpretation in another. If the speaker does not answer directly, write 'open in this scene' rather than filling the gap with a preferred lesson.
For each practice card, name the asker, answerer, audience, setting, response, and unresolved point. The dialogue-speaker guide maps turns broadly; this page focuses only on question ownership and audience.
