Bible Chapters, Verses With Same Number -- #2 Quiz

Answer: Genesis 2:2

The verse is from Genesis 2:2 and tells of God resting on the seventh day after creating the world as we know it. Details about the six days in which God created heaven and the earth can be found in the first chapter of Genesis. According to Scripture, Adam and Eve were the first man and first woman created by God.

Answer: The Pharaoh

The statement recorded in Exodus 10:10 was made by the Pharaoh to Moses and Aaron. The Pharaoh made the statement just prior to God unleashing the plague of locusts on Egypt. It was the eighth of ten plagues that were unleashed before the Israelites were finally able to leave Egypt and go to Canaan, known as the Promised Land.

Exodus 10 goes on to state the Pharaoh decided to give permission to the Israelites to leave Egypt after the plague of locusts. However, after the locusts were removed from Egypt, the Paraoh's heart hardened and he rescinded his permission for the Israelites to depart.

Answer: Ahasuerus

Ahasuerus, known as Xerxes in the NIV, is the correct answer. Esther 1:1 states he ruled over a Persian kingdom that consisted of one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, stretching from India in the east to Ethiopia in the west. Rather than Ethiopia, the NIV uses the place name 'Cush'.

The book of Esther tells of Ahasuerus dethroning Vashti as queen and replacing her with Esther. While reigning as queen, Esther played a pivotal role by working with her cousin Mordecai to prevent Haman from carrying out a scheme to kill all the Jews in the Persian empire.

Answer: Job

Job made the statement in Job 3:3. The book of Job tells of his immense suffering, but through it all he did not point an accusing finger at God. Scripture states Job's ten children were killed when a violent windstorm struck and he ended up in deteriorating health. On top of all this, he lost all his material wealth.

There is a happy ending to the book of Job, however. Scripture tells of him becoming the father of ten more children, regaining his health and having twice as much wealth as before.

For the record, Nathanael, one of the four options, is not a character from the Old Testament. Nathanael is part of the New Testament where, according to the Gospel of John, he was one of the original Twelve Disciples of Jesus.

Answer: David

David, king of Israel, is credited with writing Psalm 5 as well as number of other chapters in the Book of Psalms. It's impossible to come up with an exact total for the number of Psalms written by David, but the consensus is he wrote more than seventy. Unfortunately, a number of the Psalms do not include any details about the identity of the author. It is known, however, David wrote Psalm 5 as his name appears in the introductory text as the author.

Some of the other Palmists include Ethan, Heman, Asaph, Solomon and Moses.

Answer: James and John

James and John, two of the original Twelve Disciples, were known as the sons of Zebedee. Scripture goes on to tell of the mother of James and John requesting Jesus to permit her two sons to sit at His right hand and at His left hand in His kingdom.

In His response, Jesus is quoted as telling the woman: "Whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave -- just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

There is no conclusive proof, but many theologians believe Salome was the name of Zebedee's wife.

Answer: Barabbas

The missing name from Mark 15:15 is Barabbas. For the record, Barnabas was a worker in the early church while Barsabas was in the running to replace Judas Iscariot as one of the Twelve Disciples, but lost out to Matthias. Meanwhile, Bartimaeus was a helpless blind beggar who was miraculously able to see after he had an encounter with Jesus.

In Matthew 27:16, Barabbas is described as a "notorious prisoner".

Answer: 1 Peter 5:5

1 Peter 5:5 is the correct answer. For the record, there is no Luke 27:27, Titus 12:12 or Philemon 3:3. Luke ends at Chapter 24 while Titus has only three chapters and Philemon has one chapter.

In the fifth chapter of 1 Peter, much of the message centres on submitting to God and resisting the devil. The book was written by Peter, one of the original Twelve Disciples.

Answer: No one knows for certain

People have been perplexed for centuries when it comes to identifying the author of Hebrews. There are a lot of theories as to who wrote the book, but no one knows for certain.

Some of the people identified as possible authors of the book are Paul, Clement of Rome, Barnabas, Luke, Apollos and Priscilla.

Answer: blood

The missing word from Revelation 8:8 in the NKJV is 'blood'. In addition to the KJV and the NIV, a large number of other translations also feature the word blood in Revelation 8:8.

The book of Revelation was written by John while in exile on the island of Patmos. Tradition holds he was the same John who was one of the Twelve Disciples, but some modern day theologians dispute this belief.
