Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. How many Wise Men, or Magi, are listed in the Bible as having followed the star from the east to find baby Jesus? (Matthew 2:1-12)

Answer: No specific number is given

No specific number is given in the Bible, but it is widely assumed there were three Wise Men because the baby Jesus received three different gifts -- gold, incense and myrrh.
2. Out of the 12 disciples, John is credited with writing the most books in the New Testament, at five. Second for most number of books among the disciples is Peter. How many is he traditionally credited with writing?

Answer: 2

Peter is credited with writing First Peter and Second Peter. These two books are found after James and before First John.
3. Matthew 25:1-13 tells of the parable of ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them, while the wise took oil in jars along with their lamps. As a result, the ones with oil in their jars were prepared when the bridegroom came late. How many were wise and took extra oil?

Answer: 5

The parable ends with the message the date and the hour of the bridegroom's return is not known, so it is imperative to keep watch.
4. Luke 12:5-7 is a famous New Testament passage advising people not to worry. Complete the missing number in the NIV passage: "But I will show you whom you should fear: 'Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. Are not five sparrows sold for ___ pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows'."

Answer: 2

If God cares for five sparrows with a price of two pennies, Scripture is stating His love for humans is supremely greater, and there is therefore no need to worry.
5. In Luke 11:37-53, Jesus proclaims a number of woes against the Pharisees, the church leaders of the day. How many woes does he proclaim?

Answer: 6

An example of three of the six woes is found in verses 42-44: "Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone. Woe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you, because you are like unmarked graves, which men walk over without knowing it."
6. The parable of the unmerciful servant appears in Matthew 18:21-35. In this Scripture, Peter asks Jesus if he should forgive his brother up to seven times when he sins against him. In the New International Version, how many times does Jesus tell Peter he should forgive his brother?

Answer: 77

Matthew 18:21-22 states: "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times'." Other translations give the number as "seventy times seven", or 490.
7. Matthew 26:47-56 tells of Jesus being arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane. In Verse 52, Jesus tells his disciples not to resist the authorities because the Scriptures must be fulfilled. In the NIV, he also states he can call upon how many legions of angels to rescue him if wanted to?

Answer: 12 or more

Verses 53-54 state: "Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
8. Acts 27:13-44 tells of Paul and a large number of other people on a ship in the Adriatic Sea enduring a storm for 14 days. Paul tells the people no one would die, everyone would make it safely to land. (Verse 34) How many people are on the boat?

Answer: 276

In verse 37, it states 276 people are on board and in verse 44 it states that everyone arrives on land safely.
9. Acts chapter 2 tells of the Pentecost, resulting in the disciples being filled with the Holy Spirit and having the ability to speak in foreign tongues. Some of the other people in the area think the disciples are drunk when they start to speak in foreign languages. Peter, however, in verse 15, gives an explanation stating it would not be likely for the disciples to be drunk because "it is only ____ in the morning." Fill in the missing number from the NIV.

Answer: 9

Verses 14-15 state: "Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 'Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning'!"
10. In Revelation 13:18, what's the number of the Beast?

Answer: 666

Perhaps the number 666 is one of the best-known numbers in the Bible, as both believers and non-believers are highly aware of the number.
