Answer: Tamar, Rahab, Ruth
See Matthew 1: 1-17.
This is interesting since none of these women were ones whom one would expect to find in the genealogy of one whom Christians believe to be the Son of God.
Tamar was the daughter-in-law of Judah who disguised herself as a prostitute and waylaid him. Subsequently she gave birth to twins, Perez and Zerah (Genesis 38: 1-30).
Rahab was also a prostitute, in Jericho (Joshua 2:1-21).
Ruth was not even an Israelite but was from Moab (Ruth).

Answer: 47
The genealogy covers 41 generations from Abraham to Jesus. It also mentions six others by name: Judah's son Perez's brother Zerah, Perez's mother Tamar, Boaz's mother Rahab, Boaz's wife Ruth, Solomon's mother's first husband Uriah, and Mary the mother of Jesus. That's 41 generations plus six others making 47 all together. The genealogy can be found in Matthew 1:1-16.

Answer: They perceived that He spoke about them (and it wasn't good)
This parable concerned wicked vineyard keepers who stole the fruit of the vineyard from their master. The master sent servants to them to get his fruit, but they killed the servants, so the master at last sent his son. The greedy vineyard keepers then murdered the son and were happy because they thought now they would keep the vineyard forever. Of course, in the end the master came and destroyed them for having killed his son. The listening religious rulers understood that Christ was accusing them of being the wicked vineyard keepers. Let's say they were pretty mad about it.

From Quiz: The Beatitudes
Answer: Bathsheba
These were not women we would expect to be included! Tamar was an adulteress, Ruth was not a Jew (she was a Moabitess), Rachab was a harlot, and Bathsheba was the wife of Uriah (which King David had killed to hide her pregnancy by David). The suspicions of these four fit perfectly with the circumstances that surrounded Mary, mother of Jesus.
