From Quiz
Events as Recorded in the New Testament

Answer: The Day of Pentecost

The correct answer is The Day of Pentecost. It was a fulfillment of Jesus' promise of the Holy Spirit in John 14:16-18 and Acts 1:8. According to the passage in Acts, we see a glimpse of the joyous anticipation all the believers gathered in the room must have experienced, the sound of a rushing mighty wind as the Holy Spirit supernaturally filled each person. As a result, the people spoke in other tongues. From now on, the Holy Spirit would indwell all believers. Submitted by cms4613

2. The word "Israel" is first mentioned in which Gospel?

From Quiz Israel in the New Testament

Answer: Matthew

The New Testament first mentions the word and people of Israel in Matthew 2. The magi or wise men asked, "Where is he who has been born King of the Jews?" This question angered King Herod, who then asked the priests and scribes where the Messiah was to be born. Their response was an allusion to an Old Testament prophecy in Micah 5:2. Matthew 2:5-6, New American Standard version: They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for this is what has been written by the prophet: 'And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, Are by no means least among the leaders of Judah; For out of you shall come forth a Ruler Who will shepherd My people Israel.'"

3. "Mary, did you know that your baby boy would one day walk on water?" What other man, for a short time, walked on water?

From Quiz Mary Did You Know?

Answer: Peter

According to Matthew 14:22-33 in the NIV the disciples are in a boat when Peter sees Jesus and says, "Lord, if it's you, tell me to come to you on the water." In the next verse, Jesus says, "Come." Peter gets out of the boat and starts to walk on the water to Jesus; however, he takes his eyes off Jesus and no longer has the faith to sustain himself, so starts to sink. Jesus catches him and says, "You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

4. The first miracle by Jesus involved producing wine, as per John 2:1-12. What substance did Jesus miraculously turn into wine?

From Quiz A Quick Look at Some Miracles of Jesus -- #1

Answer: water

John 2:1-12 provides an account of Jesus turning water into wine at a wedding feast in Cana in Galilee. According to the account, the wedding hosts ran out of wine part way through the feast, when Jesus came up with a miraculous solution. He instructed the people to take six large stone waterpots and fill them with water. Shortly afterwards, the people would be amazed when they found out the waterpots were full of wine.

5. In a dramatic moment in Chapter 18 of John's Gospel, a character asks Jesus the question, "What is truth?" Who was the speaker?

From Quiz 'He is Not Here, But is Risen!'

Answer: Pontius Pilate

John creates a memorable picture of Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Palestine, whose main aim is to avoid inflaming the Jewish population and to prevent an open rebellion. His first question is whether Jesus is claiming to be a king. If He had answered "yes", then Pilate could have condemned Him for treason to the Empire. Jesus cleverly deflects the question by claiming "My kingdom is not of this world" and that He has come into this world to witness to the truth. This last phrase is what prompts Pilate's question. In the next chapter Pilate tries his best to release Jesus, but an unruly mob threatens him with the anger of the Emperor. -- Question submitted by Ampelos

6. The Bible speaks much of faith. Which Bible writer was traditionally thought to have described faith as 'the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen'?

From Quiz Put Your Faith in the Light

Answer: Paul

In the epistle to the Hebrews, they were encouraged not to cast away their confidence, because, having done the will of God, they would need patience so that they could receive the promise (Hebrews 10:35-36). In chapter 11:1 the famous quote is penned: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen." He reminded them that it was by faith that they believed that the worlds were framed by God. (Hebrews 11:2-3) Although traditionally it was believed that Paul wrote the book of Hebrews this view was questioned in the third century and now many theologians believe that the writer is unknown.

7. According to I John 4:8 who or what is the source of love?

From Quiz All You Need Is Love

Answer: God

According to I John 4:8 love is an attribute of God because God is love. Verses 9-11 say that God's love was manifested towards mankind when he sent His only Son to die for fallen man. Christians are admonished that if God loves humans so much they should also love each other.

8. Jesus was not the only individual in the Bible to raise the dead. Which of the apostles resurrected the almsgiver Dorcas in the city of Joppa?

From Quiz Something New

Answer: Peter

The story is recounted in Acts 9:36-42. Dorcas - an interpretation of the name Tabitha - "was full of good works and almsdeeds," but she fell ill, died, and was buried in Joppa. Peter was nearby in Lydda, so Dorcas's friends sent for him. He came, went into the tomb alone, "and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up." Interestingly, Peter had earlier witnessed Jesus raising Jairus' daughter by this very same method (Mark 5:41). According to Acts 9:42, this miracle converted many people to Christianity.

9. Both Jesus and John had their births foretold by whom?

From Quiz BT: Jesus and John the Baptist

Answer: Gabriel

Luke 1:5-38. This is related to one of my past tests. Elizabeth was chosen to give birth to John after Gabriel told Zacharias. Then, Gabriel visited Mary and told her she was chosen to give birth to Jesus.

10. According to Romans 14:9, Christ is the Lord of what?

From Quiz BT: New Testament

11. In the NIV Bible in Mark's gospel the person who helps carry the patibulum (wooden crossbeam) of Jesus on His way to Golgotha is also mentioned as the father of Rufus and Alexander. Please can you name him?

From Quiz Simon of Cyrene

Answer: Simon of Cyrene

In the Gospel of Mark 15:21 Simon of Cyrene is forced to carry Jesus's cross and follow behind Him on the way to Golgotha since the scourging and loss of blood had so weakened Him that he could not go on carrying the heavy crossbeam.

12. In 1 Timothy Chapter 6, the author warns that the love of what item is the root of all evil?

From Quiz Don't Say I Didn't Warn Ya!

Answer: Money

"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, and in their eagerness to be rich some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pains." (I Timothy 6:10 NRSV) Many temptations may cross the paths of those who make the pursuit of money their first priority. The unknown author, traditionally thought to be Paul, goes on to say that having food and clothing is reason enough for gratitude, and that those who do have wealth above the necessities should not be stingy or arrogant, but must share their material things in order to gain the "life that really is life". (Verse 19)

13. Two Gospels tell of the genealogy of Christ. However, only one Gospel mentions Rahab and Ruth in its genealogy. Which Gospel is it: Matthew, Mark, Luke or John?

From Quiz Which Gospel: Matthew, Mark, Luke or John?

Answer: Matthew

The correct answer is Matthew with the genealogy of Christ appearing in the first 17 verses of the first chapter. According to Matthew 1:5, Rahab was married to Salmon and they were the parents of Boaz. As reported in the Hebrew Bible, or the Old Testament of the English Bible, the same verse in Matthew of Boaz and Ruth being the parents of Obed. A second account of the genealogy of Christ appears in the third chapter of Luke, but the names Rahab and Ruth are not included in the text.

14. What book appears after the Gospel of Matthew?

From Quiz Order! Order! Can I Have Some Order!

Answer: Mark

There are four Gospels in the New Testament and in the order they appear they are Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Although there is no conclusive proof, many theologians believe the writer of Mark was John Mark, a cousin of Barnabas. Similar to many people in the New Testament, John Mark often did not go by his full name and was simply referred to as Mark. Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, and John Mark had a major falling out, according to Acts 15:36-41. However, their fractured relationship was smoothed over as Paul states in 2 Timothy 4:11 he wanted Mark to come to him because he was helpful to him in his ministry.

15. The letter 'A'. In what community were members of the early church first called Christians? (Acts 11:26)

From Quiz 25 New Testament Place Names -- 'A' to 'Z'

Answer: Antioch

Members of the early church were first called Christians at Antioch, as per Acts 11:26. Previously, people who believed in a resurrected Jesus Christ referred to themselves 'The Way'. According to notes in the NKJV Bible, the term Christian was originally used to ridicule believers. Later, however, members of the early church would begin to refer to themselves as Christians. Antioch was situated near Antakya, in present day Turkey. Acts 11:25-26, in the NIV Bible, reports: "Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch."

16. The letter 'A'. Two of the original 12 disciples, Peter and Philip, came from Bethsaida. According to John 1:44, what's the name of the third disciple who came from the same community?

From Quiz 25 Men of the New Testament -- From 'A' to 'Z'

Answer: Andrew

Andrew, of course, is the correct answer. The home of the three disciples is disclosed in John 1:44. Bethsaida was a fishing community on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. Peter and Andrew were brothers, although Peter played a much more dominant role among the disciples. Prior to becoming disciples, Peter and Andrew were fishermen. In Mark 1:17, when Jesus extended an invitation to the brothers to become disciples, He is quoted as saying "follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

17. In Matthew 26:27-28, New King James Version, Jesus says to His disciples of the cup at the Last Supper, "Drink from it, all of you. For this is My blood of ..." what?

From Quiz What's New in the New Testament?

Answer: the new Covenant

According to Christian teaching, Jesus here is making a new institution: the Lord's Supper, or Holy Communion. It is to be an act of remembrance of His humanity and sacrifice; an act of fellowship with both His (figurative) Body, the Church, and with the Lord Himself; and a sign of participation in the New Covenant, through spiritual participation in His death and resurrection. The bread and wine respectively represent the body of Jesus broken, and His blood shed, upon the Cross. According to Roman Catholic teaching, and, in a similar way, that of the Eastern Orthodox churches, the bread (or wafer) and wine are *transubstantiated* into the actual Body and Blood of Jesus Christ: their substance is changed, while their appearance remains the same. Protestants generally reject the doctrine of transubstantiation, regarding the bread and wine as being only symbolic of - yet equally effective as - the actual Body and Blood of Jesus. The difference between Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox teaching on transubstantiation is primarily that, according to Catholicism, transubstantiation takes place at the moment of consecration (i.e. on the church altar), while the Orthodox teaching is that it occurs after being consumed by the communicants. Question contributed by Rimrunner.

18. What two books in the New Testament is Luke credited with writing?

From Quiz Let's Look at Luke -- Historian, Church Worker

Answer: Luke and Acts

He is credited with writing the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts. The Gospel of Luke contains a number of accounts which do not appear in the three other Gospels -- Matthew, Mark and John. Meanwhile, the Book of Acts is seen as a history of the early church and provides a treasure chest of information about how the Gospel spread to the Gentiles in Europe as well as in what is present-day Turkey.

19. Matthew was one of the 12 disciples and had a second name. What was this other name?

From Quiz New Testament Characters with Two Names

Answer: Levi

The correct answer is Levi. Matthew was a tax collector, one of the most despised people in Biblical times. While Matthew is the most common name given to the disciple today, the name Levi appears more often in the New Testament. The name Levi, when referring to the disciple, appears eight times in the NIV Bible, while the name Matthew appears six times.

20. What's the common link between Zebedee and Alphaeus?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [10]

Answer: Two fathers of disciples.

Zebedee and Alphaeus were both fathers of disciples. Zebedee was the father of John and James while Alphaeus was the father of another disciple also called James. (Matthew 10:2-4) Adding some confusion to the mix, Alphaeus is also listed as the father of Matthew, also known as Levi. (Mark 2:14) Some theologians believe Matthew and the second James were brothers while other theologians sharply disagree with such a view. In other words, there could have been two different fathers of disciples with the name Alphaeus.

21. What's the common link between Peter, Andrew and Philip?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [9]

Answer: All came from Bethsaida

Peter, Andrew and Philip all came from Bethsaida, as per John 1:44. Bethsaida was a fishing community on the Sea of Galilee. Peter and Andrew, of course, were brothers, but were almost complete opposites. Peter was brash and bold while Andrew was relatively introverted. If Peter was a Lamborghini, Andrew would be a Volkswagen Bug. Out of the 12 disciples, Andrew and Philip are the only ones to have Greek names.

22. Acts 16:1 tells of young Timothy joining Paul and Silas in working for the early church. Where did Timothy come from?

From Quiz Timid Timothy -- Young Church Worker in Olden Days

Answer: Lystra

The correct answer is Lystra. Scripture states Timothy's mother "was a Jewess and a believer, but whose father was a Greek". 2 Timothy 1:5 states his mother's name was Eunice and his grandmother was Lois. Lystra was a city in present day Turkey. According to Wikipedia, the community is now known as Klistra and is about 20 miles south of the city of Konya.

23. An angel told Joseph, "She (Mary) will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,..." (Matthew 1:21). Why does the text say that this name was chosen?

From Quiz Lift High The NAME

Answer: Because he would save his people from their sins

"She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21) Through the ages Israel had looked for the promised Messiah. Christians believe that Jesus was that Messiah, but many failed to recognize his coming because they were looking for a political savior that would save them from the tyranny of Roman rule. According to New Testament teaching Jesus came to save them from the true source of all bondage, Sin. "Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin." (John 8:34)

24. What's the common link between Luke and Theophilus?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [8]

Answer: The writer of Luke and Acts and the recipient of the books.

Yes, Luke wrote the Gospel of Luke and the Book of Acts and Theophilus was the recipient. This much, the early Christians agreed on. However, there is a raging debate about who Theophilus was. Theories range from a Roman government official to Paul's lawyer when he was tried in Rome.

25. What's the common link between John the Baptist and the disciple James?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [7]

Answer: Both were beheaded.

The correct answer is that both were beheaded. The execution of John the Baptist is much better known than that of James. The beheading of John is told in Matthew 14:1-12 and Mark 6:14-29. To make a long story short, Herodias' daughter pleased King Herod so much by her dancing he offered to grant what ever wish she might have. It's downright macabre, but her wish was to have John the Baptist's head on a platter. Herod had basically no choice but to fulfill her request. Meanwhile, the execution of James ranks only a verse in Acts. Acts 12:2 tells of James being put to death by the sword on the command of King Herod. Notes in the NIV Study Bible indicate the term "put to death by the sword" means to be beheaded.

26. What's the common link between Matthew and Levi?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [6]

Answer: Two names for one of the 12 disciples.

Matthew and Levi are the names of one of Jesus' 12 disciples. The name Matthew is used in the Gospels of Matthew and John while the name Levi is used in the Gospels of Mark and Luke. Notes in the NIV Study Bible state: "His given name was probably Levi, and Matthew (gift of the LORD) his apostolic name." Before his calling, he was a tax collector.

27. What's the common link between Lazarus and Simon the Leper?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [5]

28. The names Priscilla and Aquila appear in four different books in the New Testament. Name the books.

From Quiz The Dynamic Duo -- Priscilla and Aquila

Answer: Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Timothy

29. What's the common link between the Prodigal Son and the Shrewd Manager?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [4]

Answer: Two characters in parables told by Jesus in the Gospel of Luke.

The Prodigal Son and the Shrewd Manager are the two main characters in parables told by Jesus. The parables appear in only the Gospel of Luke. The Parable of the Prodigal Son, or the Lost Son in the NIV Bible, is found in Luke 15: 11-31 and the Parable of the Shrewd Manager is found in 16: 1-14. (Feel free to try your hand at another quiz I have posted on FunTrivia about the Prodigal Son.)

30. What's the common link between James, Joseph, Simon and Judas?

From Quiz A Common Link Between Biblical Characters [3]

Answer: All four were brothers of Jesus.

James, Joseph, Simon and Judas were all brothers of Jesus, according to Matthew 13: 55-56. The two verses in the NIV Bible state: "Isn't this the carpenter's son? Isn't his mother's name Mary, and aren't his brothers James, Joseph, Simon and Judas? Aren't all his sisters with us?" In other words, Jesus also had sisters, in addition to four brothers. However, no further information is given about his sisters and how many there were.
