Answer: False prophets
He said that his disciples needed to be careful who they allowed to persuade them. If they believed everything they heard, they could be led astray by false prophets who were just looking to lead them away from what's right. This can be found in Matthew 7.

Answer: Barabbas
Matthew 27:21 "The governor answered and said unto them, Whether of the twain will ye that I release unto you? They said, Barabbas."
Barabbas' name means "Son of the Father". He was in prison for murder, but the people felt it was better to set him free than to free Jesus who they believed to be guilty of blasphemy.

From Quiz: Plot to Kill Jesus
Answer: Galilee
The eleven disciples went to a mountain in Galilee and met Jesus there. Jesus said to them, "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. (Matthew 28:18-20) This was known as the Great Commission. Jesus wanted his disciples to go out and bring people to the Lord and make them disciples too. He wanted to create a great kingdom of the Lord. According to the teachings of most Christian churches, this whole story of the Crucifixion and the Resurrection is one of the most profound stories in the Bible. It tells of how Jesus gave his life for our sins. He could have stopped the torture at any time, but he let it continue, so we would not have to go through torture for our sins. He took the pain and sorrow that we should have been receiving. According to Christian tradition, if it weren't for him, the world would be a living torment for everyone who sinned. And that is every single person on this earth. Nobody is perfect, the only perfect one is Jesus Christ, the one who died for us all.

From Quiz: Matthew 101
Answer: Two and under
According to Scripture, Herod ordered the execution of all male children two and under in Bethlehem and district. All this in an all-out effort to kill the Baby Jesus because Herod feared the Child would grow up and replace him as king.
Matthew 2:13-18, gives this account in the NKJV: "Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, 'Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.' When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, 'Out of Egypt I called My Son.' Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by Jeremiah the prophet, saying:
'A voice was heard in Ramah,
Lamentation, weeping, and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children,
Refusing to be comforted,
Because they are no more'."
There is considerable speculation about how many children were killed by Herod. According to Wikipedia, some claim as many as 14,000 boys were killed. However, a number of theologians have disputed this claim, speculating less than 20 boys were killed because Bethlehem was a "rather small town", Wikipedia reports. It's all speculation, of course. No one knows how many children were killed by heartless Herod.

Answer: Levi
Matthew, the writer of the first of the four Gospels in order of appearance, was also known as Levi. Tradition has it he is the same Matthew that wrote the first Gospel that bears the same name. According to Mark 2:14, Levi was the son of Alphaeus. The Web site Christiananswers.net states Matthew was a common name after the exile. Before becoming a disciple, he was a tax collector, as per Matthew 9:9.
It was common for people in Biblical times to have two names. For example, among the Twelve Disciples, Peter is also known as Simon, Nathanael is also known as Bartholomew and Thomas as Didymus. Then there's Saul who became Paul and Joses who was better known as Barnabas.
