原文字根：在上-湧出 請求 相當於：H7592（שָׁאַל‎ / שְׁאָלָה‎）

字義溯源：請求，問，詢問，訪問，求問，請；由（G1909（ἐπί）*=在⋯上，在）與（G2065（ἐρωτάω）=查詢）組成；而G2065（ἐρωτάω）出自（G2046（λέγω）*=說出）。這字有三個細微差異的意義：

1）尋求一些事物；如：法利賽人和撒都該人向主耶穌求問一個神蹟（太16:1）

2）探問某些事物，如律法師來試探主耶穌，探問他律法上那一條誡命最大（太22:35）

3）向權威求答案，如十二歲的耶穌坐在教師中間，一面聽，一面問（路2:46）。這字在馬可福音使用最多；由於馬可福音是重在作僕人的書，因為僕人作事時，凡事都得先問過主人
