Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In the 3rd verse of the 10th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles, a man named Cornelius received a vision from an angel of God. At what time of the day did he see this vision? Hint: It was at the same time of day that Jesus had died on the cross, according to Matthew 27:46-50. (King James Version)

Answer: about the ninth hour or 3:00 pm

Cornelius was a God-fearing man, according to the passage. He was a gentile, an Italian, who was possibly the first convert to Christianity outside the Jewish people.
2. Cornelius was eagerly anticipating a visit from the apostle Peter. What actions did he take that might convince us of his sincerity and his earnest desire to hear from Peter, according to the 24th verse of the 10th chapter of Acts?

Answer: he invited his friends and relatives to come and meet Peter

While Cornelius was waiting for Peter's arrival, he had assembled his relatives and neighbors at his home. No person who was merely casually expecting company would have gone to such great lengths in preparation. It was with faith that he was eagerly expecting Peter; he was not merely hoping that he would show up.
3. A day after Cornelius saw a vision from God, Peter also was subjected to a vision. According to Acts 10:9, at what time of day did Peter get his vision?

Answer: about the sixth hour or noon

As Peter entered Caesarea with his acquaintances, he went upon the rooftop of a house to pray. He was waiting for a meal to be prepared and, while praying and waiting, he fell into a trance. In the vision, he saw what Jews consider to be unclean animals, being lowered from heaven in what appeared to be a giant sheet.

When he refused to eat of this banquet, a voice from heaven told him that if God had cleansed something, then he was not within any rights to refer to it as unclean. This vision was apparently intended to prepare Peter to speak to an "unclean" person, the gentile Cornelius.
4. According to the King James Version, in Acts 10:22, a group of men had been sent by Cornelius to send Peter a message. Who did they say had warned Cornelius to seek Peter out?

Answer: God, by way of an angel

The 22nd verse states that "Cornelius...was warned from God by an angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee." (King James Version)
5. What did Cornelius do when Peter entered his house, according to Acts 10:25? (King James Version)

Answer: fell down and worshipped him

This verse and the next one tell us that Cornelius, the centurion or "captain" over many Roman soldiers, fell down at Peter's feet and worshipped him. Peter took him up and commanded him to, "Stand up. I myself am also a man."
Peter's response is similar to that of the angel in Revelation who scolds John for acting in a like manner. (Revelation 19:10)
That account reads this way: "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, 'See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God, for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.'"
In each instance, we find that believers are instructed to worship neither ordinary men nor angels, no matter how awed one is at their presence. Christians believe that God is the only being that is deserving of praise and worship.
6. Okay, let's wander over to the 19th chapter of Acts now in order to look at the ministry of the apostle Paul. In Acts 19:1-7, in the King James Version, he was visiting the city of Ephesus while his friend, Apollos, remained at Corinth. At Ephesus, Paul encountered some of the disciples of John the Baptist. After speaking with them, he determined that they were only baptized according to the teachings of John. Paul explained to them about Christ's baptism and they were baptized in the name of Jesus, and Paul laid hands on them. What happened next?

Answer: they spoke in tongues and prophesied

"And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied." - Acts 19:6.

The seventh verse informs us that there were "about twelve" of John's disciples present. Remember, Ephesus was a good distance from Jerusalem and the word of Christ's ministry, crucifixion and resurrection had most likely not even yet reached this region of what is modern-day Turkey.
7. According to Acts 19:8-10, how did the Jewish and gentile people who lived in Asia Minor (Turkey) hear the word of the Lord Jesus?

Answer: the disciples were separated from Paul after he left them

Paul taught in the synagogue for about three months, but as many people were opposed to his teachings, he left and separated the disciples to facilitate their being able to cover greater distances while he taught in a school of Tyrannus. This continued for two years, until eventually, the word had spread throughout the region.
8. Some of the people who lived in Ephesus began to believe in Christ, through the efforts of Paul, Apollos and other disciples. Many of the Ephesians brought together their books on magic or "curious" arts to be burned as a testimony to their new-found faith in Christ. The modern day equivalent of the value of these books on magic arts is around six million, four hundred thousand dollars. According to the King James Version of the Bible, Acts 19:19 says that these books had what monetary value in that day?

Answer: fifty thousand pieces of silver

Silver is used to represent ransom money in both the Old and the New Testaments. The value of these books indicates just how strong the satanic influences were that gripped the city of Ephesus prior to the arrival of God's Word.
9. One day, an angry mob, which was absolutely clueless as to exactly WHY they were angry, filled the city of Ephesus. A man who made a living selling silver icons or trinkets of the goddess Diana, had started the riot, which soon swelled beyond belief. According to Acts 19:24, what was this man's name? (King James Version

Answer: Demetrius

Demetrius, a silversmith, sensed that his fortunes and those of his fellow merchants were at risk. Paul's teachings against idol worshipping threatened their very existence, and he responded wildly. This account brings into sharp focus how the love of money can create evil actions and unnecessary hardships, and can have undesirable consequences.
10. In Acts 19:23-41, according to the King James Version, the crowd stood around chanting, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians", for about two hours. (Talk about redundant!) Finally, we see that the crowd was calmed down. Who finally managed to calm them down, and how did he do it?

Answer: the town clerk; by defending Paul and warning of repercussions

In Acts 19:34-41, King James Version, we find the town clerk pacifying the mob that had grown upset over Paul's condemnation of idol worshipping. Even though many of the people were not completely aware of what had started the riot, the clerk was able to make a sort of peace with them; yet warned them that their actions might cause the authorities to focus their attention on the city in an unfavorable manner.
