11 The letter 'B' is for 'Beatitudes'. Complete the missing word for this verse found in the Beatitudes of the Gospel of Matthew, as per the New King James Version Bible: "Blessed are those who mourn for they shall be _________." (Matthew 5:4)
Answer: comforted

The missing word is 'comforted' with the verse being found at Matthew 5:4. Incidentally, apart from Matthew 5:1-12, the Beatitudes are found in only Luke 6:20-26. Following the Beatitudes, Matthew provides details from Christ's famous 'Sermon on the Mount'.

Here's how the Beatitudes appear in their entirety in Matthew, as per the NKJV:

"And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:
'Blessed are the poor in spirit,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
For they shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
For they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
For they shall be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
For they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
For they shall be called sons of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you'."
    Your options: [ comforted ] [ victorious ] [ saved ] [ joyful ]

12 When Jesus was born, Magi - wise men - came from the East to find Him and worship Him. Where did they go first?
Answer: To King Herod in Jerusalem

See Matthew 2: 1.
Tradition says that there were three wise men and gives them the names of Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar, but there is no Biblical evidence for this particular number. The surmise may have arisen since they are recorded as bringing three gifts - gold, frankincense and myrrh.

13 The offended religious leaders tried to outwit Jesus through a controversial political topic. What pressing issue from Jewish politics of the time did they ask Jesus about in Matthew 22?
Answer: Paying taxes

It should have been a major blow to Christ's popularity, no matter how He answered. The people did not like paying taxes, and the Romans would have arrested and punished anyone who spoke against paying them. It should have been the perfect question.

14 "Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down." (Matthew 5 v. 1) Which title has traditionally been given to the body of teaching that follows this verse?
Answer: The Sermon on the Mount

It has been suggested that Matthew locates the event on a mountainside in order to parallel the giving of the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai. He also highlights the fact that Jesus sat down to teach. This was the typical teaching posture of a Jewish rabbi. This may indicate that Jesus was a rabbi or, more likely, that Matthew wanted to communicate that Jesus had the authority of a rabbi.
    Your options: [ The Sermon on the Mount ] [ Peak Practice ] [ Laws from the Heights ] [ The Teaching from the Hills ]

16 In this passage, the "sheep" are used as a metaphor for the righteous. Where does this metaphorical shepherd put these sheep?
Answer: At his right hand

The righteous souls' placement at the Son of Man's right hand is an interesting turn of phrase here, as Jesus' own placement in heaven is at the right hand of the father, as described in each of the canonical gospels and echoed in the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed (as promulgated at the 381 CE Council of Constantinople). Similar uses are found in the Hebrew Scriptures, especially Psalm 110:1: "The Lord says to my lord, 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.'"
