Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What form did the Holy Spirit appear in at Jesus' baptism?

Answer: Dove

Jesus was baptized by his cousin, John the Baptist. Mark 1:10 (NKJV) says: And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove.

2. Who doubted the resurrected Jesus?

Answer: Thomas

Thomas said that he would not believe that Jesus was risen until he had seen and touched his wounds. Of course, Jesus gave him this opportunity and Thomas believed. You can find the story in John 20:24-29.

3. What was Paul's original name?

Answer: Saul

Acts 13:9 (NKJV) says: Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him.

God bestowed new names upon several of His followers through the Bible. Some of these changes include:
Genesis 17:5 Abram - Abraham
Genesis 17:15 Sarai - Sarah
Genesis 35:10 Jacob - Israel
John 1:42 Simon - Peter

4. Who was the prophetess who recognized Jesus as the Messiah?

Answer: Anna

Anna was an elderly prophetess who lived at the temple as she had been a widow for 84 years! She was one of the first to spread the news of Israel's Redeemer. See Luke 2:36-38.

5. Jesus once cursed an individual tree for not producing fruit. What kind of tree was it?

Answer: Fig

Jesus came across a fig tree with no fruit on it, and cursed it. The disciples were surprised when they found the tree withered away, so Jesus explained to them that anything is possible if they believe and pray, including moving mountains into the sea! See the story in Mark 11:12-14, and concluding in Matthew 11:20-24.

6. Lydia was a wealthy sales-lady. What did she sell?

Answer: Purple cloth

Lydia is considered to be the gateway to the spread of the Gospel in Philippi, and afterwards Asia. See Acts 16:13-15 to read about her.

7. Gabriel was the angel that appeared to Mary. How many times was he mentioned by name in the Bible (including the Old Testament)?

Answer: 4

Gabriel is mentioned by name four times in the Bible:
In Daniel 8:15-27, he interprets Daniel's vision for him.
In Daniel 9:20-23, he gave Daniel a prophesy concerning the Messiah.
In Luke 1:5-17, he announces to Zacharias that he and his wife will be having a son (who will become John the Baptist).
And finally, in Luke 1:26-38, he tells Mary that she will conceive a child by the Holy Spirit, Jesus the Messiah.

8. Who saw the vision recorded in Revelation?

Answer: John

John is often referred to as "the apostle whom Jesus loved". It is only fitting that John was the one who was given this great vision of the last days. Revelation 1:1-2 clearly states that John is the one who received the vision.

9. At the wedding in Cana, what did Jesus turn water into?

Answer: Wine

Although Jesus did not wish to reveal Himself yet, his mother requested that he help with the lack of wine. Just proof that a mother has great sway over her children! The wine Jesus produced was of excellent quality. See John 2:1-12 for the full story.

10. Who is generally acknowledged to have been the first Christian martyr?

Answer: Stephen

You can find the story of Stephen's stoning in Acts 7:54-60. Interestingly, Saul was the ringleader of those who killed him, and he would soon become one of the earliest Christian missionaries. It just goes to show that God can, and will, use anyone for His will.
