Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The No. 11. Matthew 28:16-18, tells of Jesus meeting with eleven of His disciples after the resurrection and announcing 'The Great Commission'. What is 'The Great Commission'?

Answer: Making disciples of all the nations and baptizing them

'The Great Commission', of course, was instructions Jesus gave to the eleven disciples to make disciples of all the nations and to baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Here's how Matthew 28:16-19 reads in the NKJV:
"Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age'. Amen."

The Great Commission was given to eleven disciples, not twelve, as Judas Iscariot had committed suicide as per Matthew 27:3-10. According to Scripture, Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver and after being filled with tremendous remorse, he took his own life.
2. The No. 12. According to Scripture, Jesus appointed twelve men to serve as His disciples with one of them, Judas Iscariot eventually committing suicide after he betrayed Christ. After the death of Judas, who, according to Acts 1:26, was appointed to replace Judas and become one of the twelve disciples?

Answer: Matthias

Matthias is the correct answer. His selection as Judas Iscariot's replacement is recorded in Acts 1:15-26. He was selected over a man who was named Joseph but called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus.

Acts 1:23-26 in the NKJV states: "And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed and said, 'You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.' And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles."

However, little is known about Matthias as he is mentioned in only Acts 1:23-26. After his appointment as a disciple, he is never mentioned again in Scripture.
3. The No. 13. According to Deuteronomy 3:11 in the NIV 1984 edition, a king had a gigantic iron bed that measured more than thirteen feet long. What was the name of the king?

Answer: Og

Og is the correct answer. The NIV 1984 edition describes Og's bed as being more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide. The KJV, NKJV as well as the standard NIV describe the bed as being nine cubits long and four cubits wide. (When nine cubits and four cubits are converted to feet, it comes to 13.5 feet and six feet.)

Deuteronomy 3:3 in the NKJV Bible states the Israelites scored a decisive victory over Og's army: "So the LORD our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we attacked him until he had no survivors remaining."

Then there's the fascinating information in Deuteronomy 3:11 in the NIV 1984 Bible about Og's massive bed. The passage states: "Only Og king of Bashan was left of the remnant of the Rephaites. His bed was made of iron and was more than thirteen feet long and six feet wide. It is still in Rabbah of the Ammonites."
4. The No. 14. According to Matthew 1:17, all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the coming of Christ are fourteen generations.

Answer: True

True. Scripture states there are fourteen generations between the events. Matthew 1:17 states there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, as well as fourteen generations from David until the captivity in Babylon followed by fourteen generations from the captivity in Babylon to the birth of Christ.
5. The No. 15. Galatians 1:18 tells of a controversial convert to Christianity going to Jerusalem to see Peter and remaining with him for fifteen days. Who was the person who spent fifteen days with Peter?

Answer: Paul

The correct answer is Paul. According to Scripture, Paul, after his conversion to Christianity, spent some time in Arabia before returning to Damascus. Then after three years in Damascus, Paul travelled to Jerusalem where he spent fifteen days with Peter. After the resurrection of Jesus, Paul's conversion was perhaps the biggest event to take place in the history of Christianity. Paul was a Pharisee who was so adamantly opposed to Christianity, he made a point of rounding up believers and having them tossed in prison and worse. In fact, Acts 8:1 tells of Paul, who was known as Saul at the time, overseeing the execution of Stephen, the first documented martyr in the early church.

In Galatians 1:11-24 in the NKJV, Paul writes the following about his notorious past and the fifteen days he spent with Peter:
"For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.

"But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and returned again to Damascus.

"Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James, the Lord's brother. (Now concerning the things which I write to you, indeed, before God, I do not lie.)

"Afterward I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia. And I was unknown by face to the churches of Judea which were in Christ. But they were hearing only, 'He who formerly persecuted us now preaches the faith which he once tried to destroy.' And they glorified God in me."
6. The No. 16. According to 2 Kings 14:21, who was the sixteen-year-old youth the people of Judah made king replacing his father Amaziah?

Answer: Azariah

Azariah is the correct answer. (In 2 Chronicles 26:1 and Isaiah 6:1 he is known as Uzziah.) According to the Website Behindthename.com. Azariah means "Yaweh has helped".

Azariah was also the name of several Old Testament characters including one of the three men the Babylonian king ordered cast into a fiery furnace. His Babylonian name was Abednego.

According to Wikipedia, Azariah, also known as Uzziah, took the throne at the age of 16, and reigned for 52 years. His reign was the most prosperous, excepting that of Jehoshaphat, since the time of Solomon, Wikipedia states.
7. The No. 17. What was the name of the seventeen-year-old youth who was sold into slavery by his brothers? (Genesis 37:2)

Answer: Joseph

Joseph, of course, is the correct answer. Information about Joseph being sold into slavery is found in the 37th chapter of Genesis. Going by by Genesis 37:2, Joseph was seventeen years old and by the time you read down to Verse 10, the account swings over to talk about the brothers betraying Joseph.

After discussing a plan to kill him, they opted to sell him to a group of Midianite traders. Joseph would end up being a slave in Egypt and after serving time in prison for a crime he didn't commit, he would end up being the second in command in his new country.
8. The No. 18. Luke 13:11 tells of a woman who had an infirmity for eighteen years being healed by Jesus. What was the infirmity?

Answer: The woman could not raise herself up

According to Luke 13:11 in the NKJV, the woman healed by Jesus "had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up." However, her life changed dramatically after Christ came into her life.

Luke 13:12-13 states "...when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, 'Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.' And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God."

Scripture goes on to state the ruler of the synagogue was indignant about the healing because it took place on the Sabbath.
9. The No. 19. 2 Samuel 2:30 tells of Joab returning from pursuing Abner and when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing of David's servants nineteen men and Asahel. Who was Asahel?

Answer: The nephew of David and brother of Joab

Asahel was a nephew of King David and the younger brother of Joab. Wikipedia states Asahel was the youngest son of Zeruiah, step-daughter of Jesse, daughter of Nahash (which can be inferred from 2 Samuel 17:25). The name means "made by God." According to Wikipedia, Asahel is also spelled as Asael, Asaell, and Assael in other versions of the Bible.

Abner was the commander of King Saul's army and after Saul's death, he held a similar position for Saul's son, Ishbosheth.
10. The No. 20. The following verse, containing the number twenty twice, is from Exodus 27:10, in the NKJV: "And its twenty pillars and their twenty sockets shall be bronze. The hooks of the pillars and their bands shall be silver." What is the verse making reference to?

Answer: Construction of a tabernacle for the LORD.

The verse is making reference to construction of a tabernacle for the LORD.

The following information is from the Website The-Tabernacle-Place.com: "Tabernacle means 'tent', 'place of dwelling' or 'sanctuary'. It was a sacred place where God chose to meet His people, the Israelites, during the forty years they wandered in the desert under Moses' leadership. It was the place where the leaders and people came together to worship and offer sacrifices.

"The tabernacle was first erected in the wilderness exactly one year after the Passover when the Israelites were freed from their Egyptian slavery (circa 1450 B.C.). It was a mobile tent with portable furniture that the people travelled with and set up wherever they pitched camp. The tabernacle would be in the center of the camp, and the 12 tribes of Israel would set up their tents around it according to tribe. The instruction on how to build the tabernacle was first given to Moses in the wilderness, who then gave the orders to the Israelites."
