Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What does the name Elizabeth mean?

Answer: God is my oath

Alternatively, it can also mean "my God is abundance".

2. What was Elizabeth's husband's name?

Answer: Zacharias

Zacharias means "YAHWEH remembers". His name is also spelled Zechariah.

3. What was Elizabeth's husband's occupation?

Answer: Priest

Luke 1:6 says that Zacharias and Elizabeth were blameless before God.

4. Elizabeth was a very old woman who had been infertile for many years before she had her child.

Answer: True

In those days, a woman would be judged by her lack of ability to bear children for her husband. So Elizabeth must have lived in shame for a very long time before God blessed them with a son.

5. What did Elizabeth and her husband name their son?

Answer: John

John means "YAHWEH is gracious". It seems fitting that even the name of John the Baptist would foretell what Jesus was here to do - give us grace.

6. Who first announced the baby's name?

Answer: An angel

He announced it to the parents. After the birth, many were shocked by the name choice because there were no Johns in Elizabeth and Zacharias' families.

7. How was Elizabeth related to Mary (Jesus' mother)?

Answer: She was her cousin

Elizabeth was given as a sign to Mary that she, too, would conceive, and that all things are possible with God.

8. What did Elizabeth's baby do when Mary showed up?

Answer: He jumped in her belly

Not only did her baby leap in her stomach, she was also filled with the Holy Ghost at that time.

9. What did Elizabeth's son do later in his life?

Answer: Baptised Jesus

Yes, little John became "John the Baptist". He baptised Jesus, though he knew he was not worthy of him, and accomplished many other things.

10. Elizabeth was one of the first to know that Mary's child was the Messiah.

Answer: True

When John leapt in Elizabeth's womb and she was filled with the Holy Ghost, she knew that Mary was carrying the Savior.
