Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Scripture tells of a man crying out in a loud voice just prior to his death, stating, "Lord, do not charge them with this sin." Who made the statement in the NKJV?

Answer: Stephen

The statement was made in Acts 7:60 by Stephen, the first martyr in the early church. Acts 7:59-60 in the NKJV states: "And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, 'Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.' Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, 'Lord, do not charge them with this sin'. And when he had said this, he fell asleep."

Stephen was put on trial by the Pharisees and according to Scripture, Saul, who would later become known as Paul and serve as the main apostle to the Gentiles, oversaw his execution.
2. Luke 2:34-35 tells of a person seeing the Baby Jesus and making this pronouncement: "Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed." Who made the statement?

Answer: Simeon

The correct answer is Simeon. According to Scripture, Simeon was "just and devout" and advanced in years and he had been told by the Holy Spirit he would live to see the Lord's Christ.

He is mentioned in only Luke 2:22-35. Here's how the passage reads in the NKJV: "And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. So he came by the Spirit into the temple. And when the parents brought in the Child Jesus, to do for Him according to the custom of the law, he took Him up in his arms and blessed God and said: 'Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, according to Your word; for my eyes have seen Your salvation which You have prepared before the face of all peoples, a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles,
And the glory of Your people Israel.' And Joseph and His mother marveled at those things which were spoken of Him. Then Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His mother, 'Behold, this Child is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.'"
3. Mark 1:7 quotes a preacher making the following statement to the masses: "There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose." Who made the statement?

Answer: John the Baptist

John the Baptist is the correct answer and the One referred to in the statement is Jesus. Mark 1:6-8 states: "Now John was clothed with camel's hair and with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. And he preached, saying, 'There comes One after me who is mightier than I, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to stoop down and loose. I indeed baptized you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.'"

According to Mark 1:3-4, John "came baptizing in the wilderness and preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Then all the land of Judea, and those from Jerusalem, went out to him and were all baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins."

Scripture also indicates he was outspoken, calling the Pharisees and Sadducees a "brood of vipers!"

Many Christians regard John as the last of the Old Testament prophets.
4. Who is credited with making the following statement in Acts 5:30 in the NKJV: "The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree."?

Answer: Peter

Peter made the statement while he and the other disciples were brought before the high priest, the captain of the temple and the chief priests. According to the fifth chapter of Acts, Peter and the other disciples had been locked in prison for preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but an angel enabled them to escape. The angel told the disciples to go to the temple and continue preaching to the people. And that's just what the disciples did when they were found by the authorities and put on trial. It's during the trial Peter made the statement referred to in this question.

Acts 5:29-32 states, "But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: 'We ought to obey God rather than men. The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. Him God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.'"

The word 'tree' is also used rather than 'cross' in Acts 10:39 and 13:29. Notes in the NIV Study Bible give a possible explanation as to why Peter used the word 'tree' rather than 'cross'. The notes state: "Like its Hebrew counterpart, the Greek for this word could refer to a tree, a pole, a wooden beam or a similar object."

In the KJV, NKJV and the NIV, the disciple Peter, when writing 1 Peter 2:24-25, also used the word tree. Verses 24 and 25 in the NKJV Bible state: "...who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness -- by whose stripes you were healed. For you were like sheep going astray, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."
5. Luke 23:14 quotes a leader in Jerusalem making the following statement pertaining to Jesus: "You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him." Who made the statement?

Answer: Pilate

Pilate is the correct answer. Luke 23:13-17 states, "Then Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests, the rulers, and the people, said to them, 'You have brought this Man to me, as one who misleads the people. And indeed, having examined Him in your presence, I have found no fault in this Man concerning those things of which you accuse Him; no, neither did Herod, for I sent you back to him; and indeed nothing deserving of death has been done by Him. I will therefore chastise Him and release Him' (for it was necessary for him to release one to them at the feast)."

However, Scripture reports the rulers and the people were adamant Jesus should be crucified, so Pilate, looking for an easy way out, gave into their demands.
6. Acts 8:36 quotes a man asking the following question of Philip the Evangelist: "See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?" Who asked the question?

Answer: An Ethiopian eunuch

The correct answer is the Ethiopian eunuch, the first African believer in a resurrected Jesus Christ. The conversion of the eunuch is found in Acts 8:26-40.

It seems as soon as the Ethiopian saw water, he wanted to be baptized by Philip. Acts 8:36-38, in the NKJV Bible, states: "Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, 'See, here is water. What hinders me from being baptized?' Then Philip said, 'If you believe with all your heart, you may.' And he answered and said, 'I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.' So he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water, and he baptized him."

Scripture states the eunuch was traveling from Jerusalem to Ethiopia at the time.

According to notes in the NIV Study Bible, there are several possibilities as to where the baptism actually took place. The possibilities are: "A brook in the valley where David of Elah (which David crossed to meet Goliath, 1 Samuel 17:40); the Wadi el Hasi just north of Gaza; water from a spring or one of the many pools in the area."

Here's some trivia about the eunuch. Acts 8:27 describes him as an "important official" as he was in charge of the treasury for Candace, queen of the Ethiopians. Philip is referred to as Philip the Evangelist in Acts 21:8. When making reference to him, many people today call him Philip the Evangelist to avoid any confusion with Philip, one of the original twelve disciples.
7. Mark 9:38 quotes one of the Twelve Disciples making the following statement to Jesus: "Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us." Who made the statement?

Answer: John

John is the correct answer. Mark 9:38-41 states: "Now John answered Him, saying, 'Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.' But Jesus said, 'Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me. For he who is not against us is on our side. For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.'"

Notes in the NKJV Study Bible have this to say about Jesus' response to John's statement: "Jesus is not endorsing all who claim to follow Him. Rather this statement was meant to remind the disciples that God's work was not necessarily restricted to their small group."
8. John 12:5 quotes one of the Twelve Disciples asking the following question of Jesus after He was anointed with expensive perfume, or fragrant oil: "Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?" Who asked the question?

Answer: Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot made the statement. The Gospel of John goes on to state Judas didn't really care at all about the poor but simply wanted to sound righteous. Scripture says Judas took care of the finances for Jesus and the Twelve Disciples and often helped himself to the proceeds.

With the perfume valued at 300 denarii by Judas, there's no disputing the fact it was expensive. Notes in the NKJV Study Bible, for example, state one denarius was a laborer's wage for one day. In other words, the ointment would've been worth almost one year's wages.

Judas would end up betraying Christ for 30 pieces of silver, as per Matthew 26:14-15.
9. Acts 2:38-39 quotes a worker in the early church making the following pronouncement to a large group of people: "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call." Who made the statement?

Answer: Peter

Peter, according to Scripture, made the statement to a crowd on the Day of Pentecost with the eleven other disciples standing by.

Notes in the NKJV Study Bible have this to say, in part, about Peter's statement: "Peter exhorted his listeners to repent. In other words, each person had to make the decision to turn away from his or her sinful habits and turn to God in faith. Then God would forgive that person's sins and declare them righteous because of Jesus' work on the Cross."
10. In the eleventh chapter of John, the disciples expressed amazement and fear at Jesus' plans to go back to Judea, because the people there had attempted to stone Him. However, one of the Twelve Disciples disagreed with the other eleven and boldly announced, "Let us also go, that we may die with Him." Who made the statement?

Answer: Thomas

Thomas, known for doubting reports about the resurrection of Jesus Christ after His crucifixion, made the statement. However, Thomas was apparently defiant in his belief Jesus was the Christ and at one point in time he was prepared to die with Him, if necessary. Scripture reports Thomas made his statement shortly after Jesus learned about the death of Lazarus and had told the Twelve Disciples of His desire to return to Jerusalem where He would raise Lazarus from the dead at nearby Bethany.

John 11:8-16 explains things this way: "The disciples said to Him, 'Rabbi, lately the Jews sought to stone You, and are You going there again?' Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world. But if one walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him.' These things He said, and after that He said to them, 'Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may wake him up.' Then His disciples said, 'Lord, if he sleeps he will get well.' However, Jesus spoke of his death, but they thought that He was speaking about taking rest in sleep. Then Jesus said to them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him.' Then Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, 'Let us also go, that we may die with Him.'"
