John 3:16 (John 3:11-21)
Ask him where in the passage the evangelist intends to end Jesus' words and begin his own?
I didn't know this was a problem until C. A. Carson spoke of it (p99 Exegetical Fallacies) Apparently there is no clear answer!

Ask Him what "Do not answer a fool according to his folly" mean? (26:4)
Pause for the explanation, then ask the supplementary question, what does "Answer a fool according to his folly" mean? (26:5)
It should lead into a discussion of the nature of Proverbs and that they cannot be taken at face value.
