Mat 12:34 For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
By asking questions we get to hear what's really in their heart. How they feel about certain things.

It was and is a very effective teaching method. Questions prompt people to think. Jesus was the greatest teacher who ever lived. His questions helped people to reason and come to the correct conclusions. They also revealed what was in their hearts.
He aimed his message primarily at men’s hearts, using penetrating questions to cause them to think, arrive at their own conclusions, examine their motives, and make decisions. ( Some examples: Matthew 16:5-16; 17:24-27; 26:52-54; Mark 3:1-5; Luke 10:25-37; John 18:11)

Asking questions is the sign of a good teacher.
Occasionally, Jesus used piercing questions to expose the motives of his opposers, which would then silence them.(Matthew 21:23-27)
Usually, Jesus took the time to ask questions in order to:
1. convey truths,
2. get his listeners to express what was in their hearts, and
3. stimulate and train the thinking of his disciples.

To make us think for ourselves.
