Then they said to him, "Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity struck us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?" (Jonah 1:8)
When trouble comes we wonder why.
Why me, why the one I love, why now, why in this way?
What have I done? What have they done to deserve this?
Jesus brought trouble to pigs, moneychangers, and evil spirits (including those in the pigs). Otherwise, I cannot recall him causing trouble. Instead, he healed troubles.
There were, however, those who even Jesus could not heal. They had chosen to separate themselves from God.
