Leading Question


This morning, when i went church and study bible, i found that jesus liked to use Leading question.He liked to use Leading question to encourage someone to agree with him.It is interesting to note that Jesus' first recorded words are in the form of two questions.

Bible:
Luke records Jesus' trip to Jerusalem at age twelve for the Passover. At the conclusion of the feast, Jesus's parents began the trip home and thought that He was among their family and friends. After His parents could not find Jesus in their company of travelers, they returned to Jerusalem and eagerly sought Him. Finding Jesus in the temple sitting in the midst of the teachers both listening to them and asking them questions, Jesus responds to his parent's question saying: "Why is it that you sought Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" (Lk. 2:49)
Jesus trying to guide his parent's to say the things he wants to hear. The question he asked can only answer in certain way and especially the second question ( Did you not know that I must be about M Father's business?". This question can be answer yes or no.
