Biblical Quotes Trivia Questions

1. In Isaiah 7:14 the Lord gave a sign to David's house: "The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son." What name did Isaiah say the son would be given? [Mt 1:23]

From Quiz
Bible Verses Connecting Isaiah To the Gospels

Answer: Immanuel

The name Immanuel, in Hebrew, means "God with us". The Isaiah verse is stated in Matthew 1:23 where Joseph is told in a dream that Mary, his betrothed, was pregnant with the son of God. In the same dream, the angel tells Joseph to name his son Jesus as He would save people from their sin. Interestingly, the original Hebrew has Jesus' name as Y'shua being often translated as Joshua.

2. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (Young's Literal Translation). This is the clearest, most direct statement about Jesus as the Word of God. What verse is it?

From Quiz The Word of God

Answer: John 1:1

Genesis 1:1, of course, states that "In the beginning" God created the heavens and the earth. John 1:1 is an allusion to Genesis 1:1. In John 1:1, the writer makes a grand claim about Jesus Christ: that before He was born to the virgin Mary, He was God. In verse 3, John 1 goes on to say that Jesus created everything--therefore connecting Him even more to the God of Genesis 1. But John doesn't even just say that Jesus was God. He calls Jesus "the Word" who was "with God"--what's that about? How can the Word be with God and be God at the same time? I strongly believe that the doctrine of the Trinity answers this question. The second member of the Trinity, the Word/Son, was with the first member, the Father, but He was also God. The word "God" is often used as a title for the Father in the New Testament, but it does sometimes refer to the Son and the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of God) as well. All three are technically God. It just so happens that nobody really says "the Father of God" like they say "the Word of God" or "the Spirit of God". It seems like the Father is called either "the Father" or simply "God". Unless someone understands this, some verses that speak of "God" and Jesus might be confusing. Based upon both research and my own Bible studying, I believe Jesus is "the Word of God" because He serves as the Father's Messenger. For whatever reason, the Father rarely ever directly speaks to people. He indirectly speaks through Jesus and He created the world through Jesus, too.

3. Which person was asked this question by God: "Who told you that you were naked?"

From Quiz People Who Were Questioned by God

Answer: Adam

Adam was asked the question by God, as per Genesis 3:11. The question was asked after Adam and his wife Eve had eaten forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. According to Scripture, Adam and Eve became embarrassed they were naked after eating the fruit and as a result hid from God. Scripture tells of God walking in the Garden of Eden and when He didn't see Adam and Eve, He asked Adam, "Where are you?" In response, Adam said, "I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself." God then asked Adam who told him he was naked and then inquired if he had eaten forbidden fruit from the tree. For the record, the first question by God in Scripture is found in Genesis 3:9 in which God asks about Adam's whereabouts.

4. This is the very first verse of the Bible! According to Genesis 1:1, in the beginning, who created the heavens and the earth (NIV version)?

From Quiz Exceller's Favorite Bible Verses

Answer: God

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." (Genesis 1:1) According to the Bible, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void until God said, "Let there be light!". Then there was light! God was responsible for creating everything in the universe, including mankind.

5. "The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than pride." Bible or not?

From Quiz Bible or Not

Answer: Bible

This is from Ecclesiastes 7:8. Ecclesiastes is a book of the Old Testament. Its writer describes himself as descended from a "king in Jerusalem" and uses an autobiographical format to expound on the meaning of a well-lived life. The quoted passage is not only a caution against rash action or premature judgment, but a reminder that one's good name takes a lifetime to create and maintain.

6. '"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about _________ "' (Luke 10:41, New International Version). What did the Lord say was worrying and upsetting Martha?

From Quiz Words In Red

Answer: many things

'"Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed -- or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."' (Luke 10:41,42 (NIV)). Martha had complained to the Lord because her sister Mary was listening to his teaching rather than helping her prepare dinner.

7. Where would you find the verse, "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth"?

From Quiz Where in the Bible Am I?

Answer: Genesis 1:1

The book of Genesis is the first book of the Bible. Chapter 1 tells about how the world was created from nothing.

8. In Jeremiah 24:7 God is talking about the Jews who were in exile in Babylon. He says that they will return to the land of Israel and that "They will be ____ and I will be ___". How should this NIV quote be completed?

From Quiz The Bible 24:7

Answer: My people, their God

In Jeremiah chapter 24 Jeremiah has a vision in which he sees two baskets of figs: one of good quality and one of poor quality. God tells Jeremiah that he (God) sees the exiles who have gone from Judah to Babylon as the good figs. He says that he will watch over them and will bring them back and establish them once again in the land of Israel. In verse 7 he says, "I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart." (NIV) God then goes on to explain that the bad figs in the vision are a picture of Judah's exiled King Zedekiah, his officials and those who went with them from Jerusalem. The Babylonians had appointed Zedekiah king of Judah after its legitimate king Jehoiachin (Zedekiah's nephew) had been exiled. Zedekiah was an evil king who refused to listen to God's messages to him through Jeremiah and also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, in spite of the fact that he had taken an oath of loyalty to his Babylonian master. (Thanks to aboutbibleprophecy.com for additional information.) Question contributed by PeggyLouisa.

9. Timothy was a young worker in the early church and two different books, or letters, in the New Testament are addressed to him. Who urged Timothy to 'fight the good fight' in both the KJV and the NIV Bibles?

From Quiz My Word -- Common Sayings from the Bible -- #2

Answer: Paul

'Fight the good fight', a common saying in today's English, comes from Paul's letter to Timothy. The term appears in 1 Timothy 1:18 and 1 Timothy 6:12. And in 2 Timothy 4:7, Paul states he has 'fought the good fight'. Many theologians believe Paul wrote 2 Timothy just prior to his execution. In other words, the apostle to the Gentiles was correct in suggesting his fight had come to an end.

10. Who in Scripture said (KJV text): "Naked I came out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord."?

From Quiz Best Loved Bible Verses

Answer: Job

These powerful words were said by Job during the first assault of Satan upon him (Job 1:21). At first, Job proved to have great faith and a strong foundation of trust in God. Soon, however, as Job's suffering continued, he started to complain to his friends and doubt God's kindness. By the end of this ancient book of the Bible, Job's commitment to God was restored. I love the powerful truth that this verse expresses - Job says we enter and leave this world with nothing, and all is dependent on God. Contributed by star_gazer.

11. An angel appeared to this woman in the desert and said, "Fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation." To which woman was he speaking?

From Quiz The Angel Did Say

Answer: Hagar

Genesis 21:17,18 - Hagar had been thrown out of her house along with her son by her mistress, Sarah. When the two of them had finished all the bread and water that they had, Hagar laid her son under a shrub and sat some way off, unable to see her child die. It was then that an angel appeared and showed her a well to quench their thirst, saving them from death. Earlier Hagar had run away from Sarah's house when she was pregnant with Abraham's child. At that time too an angel had appeared to her and told her to return to her mistress. The angel had foretold the birth of a son to her whom she was to name Ishmael.

12. To whom did Jesus say: "Dear woman, why do you involve me?"

From Quiz Conversations With Jesus

Answer: Mary (his mother)

Jesus and his disciples had been invited to a wedding in Cana. Mary was there also. When the hosts of the wedding ran out of wine, Mary came to Jesus and informed him of the problem. Even after answering Mary as if it wasn't his problem, Jesus went ahead and performed his first miracle by turning the water into wine. The quote is from John 2:4.

13. From the New International Version, complete this sentence: "All the days of the oppressed are wretched, but the cheerful heart has a continual ______?"

Proverbs 15:15. Proverbs is a great book for attaining wisdom and discipline. For example, in Proverbs 29:20, we are told, "Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him."

14. How many of the below mentioned sayings can be found in the book of the Song of Solomon? "Love is better than wine." "Love is as strong as death." "Love cannot be bought." "Water cannot quench love."

From Quiz Cliches, Riddles, Sayings, etc.

Answer: all

All four sayings can be found in the book of The Song Of Solomon. Verse 1:2 compares love to wine. Verses 8:6-7 states that love is as strong as death and it cannot be bought or quenched. (Verse 7 says, that if a man should give all of his wealth for love, it would be despised. This is the same as saying that love cannot be bought.)

15. New American Standard: John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have ______ ______."

18. Which person was asked this question by God: "Is anything too hard for the LORD?"

From Quiz People Who Were Questioned by God

Answer: Abraham

The question was asked of Abraham after God announced he and his wife Sarah would become parents of a baby boy. This even though Abraham was one hundred years old and Sarah was ninety and they were childless. When Abraham and Sarah both expressed deep skepticism about God's pronouncement, He asked Abraham, "Is anything too hard for the LORD?" See Genesis 18:1-15 for details.

19. Many people are familiar with king Solomon, but did you know that God once appeared to him in a dream, speaking with him? What words did God say to him, according to 1 Kings 3:5? (King James Version)

From Quiz It's All In The Words

Answer: Ask what I shall give thee.

"In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee." A few verses later we see what Solomon asked God for, in verse 9. "Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?" Verses 11-13 record God's response to Solomon's request - "And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days."

20. "And though in all lands, love is now mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater." Bible or Not?

From Quiz Bible or Not

Answer: Not

This is from J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Fellowship of the Ring," Book 2, Chapter VI. The passage in question is spoken by Haldir, a Silvan Elf who guides the Fellowship through the Lothlorien Forest on their way to the city of Caras Galadhon. Although he is not seen again in the Tolkien book after guiding the party, Haldir plays more of a role in the film version, where, after his service as guide, he leads a company of elves and is killed in the Battle of Helm's Deep.

21. '"Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. ...' (John 2:4, New International Version). With what issue did Jesus seem not to want to be involved?

From Quiz Words In Red

Answer: A shortage of wine

'On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine." "Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come."' (John 4:1-4 (NIV)).

From Quiz Which Translation Is This?

Answer: New Life Version (NLV)

The correct answer is New Life Version (NLV): "So the Lord Himself will give you a special thing to see: A young woman, who has never had a man, will give birth to a son. She will give Him the name Immanuel." HOWEVER! Look at how similar these other translations are: NLT: "All right then, the Lord himself will give you the sign. Look! The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son and will call him Immanuel (which means 'God is with us')." NASB: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel." NKJV: "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel."

From Quiz Where Oh Where Oh Where Is Love?

Answer: 1 Peter

Third and fourth Peter don't exist. This quote, found in the New Testament, is from "The First Epistle General of Peter" 4:8. It can be applied to almost any situation in life. It could also be likened to acceptance of one another's faults - as well as Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Remember, the Bible operates on more than one level. It has face value, personal revelation, biblical and historical reference, and deep mystical value as well. Seek and ye shall find.

25. What inanimate objects are being addressed in Psalm 24:7 (KJV), and are personified as having "heads" that should be lifted up?

From Quiz The Bible 24:7

Answer: Gates and doors

"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." (KJV) The gates of the city were originally made in the form of a portcullis, much as the gates of the castles in the feudal ages were. These were not intended to be swung open from side to side like a door today, but instead were to be "lifted up" by weights and pulleys. These could be suddenly let down to prevent an enemy from entering. It would be difficult to close them without possibly allowing the enemy to force their way in if they were made to open as doors are made today. Thus the "heads" of the gates would be at the top, perhaps even ornately decorated, and the command was that these should be elevated to admit the ark of God to pass through. Since Christians believe that Jesus is the first-born Son of God, then this "King of Glory" may be considered Jesus Christ Himself. Question contributed by logcrawler.

27. 'A man after mine own heart' is a phrase found in Acts 13:22. Who used the term while speaking in a synagogue in Pisidian Antioch?

From Quiz My Word -- Common Sayings from the Bible -- #5

Answer: Paul

Paul used the words 'a man after my own heart." According to Scripture, he used the term in reference to King David, the second king of Israel. In this incident, Paul is saying God viewed David as a man after His own heart. The passage, in part, in the NIV Bible states: "He made David their king. God testified concerning him: 'I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.'" Paul goes on to state that it was through the line of David that "God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus."

28. 'The wages of sin is death' is a phrase the apostle Paul used in Romans 6:23. In the same verse, what does Paul say is the gift of God?

From Quiz My Word -- Common Sayings from the Bible -- #3

Answer: Eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

In Romans 6:23, Paul states the gift of God is "eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord". For many Christians, this is one of the most important verses in the New Testament. Notes in the NIV Study Bible states two kinds of servitude are contrasted in the passage. "One brings death as its wages; the other results in eternal life, not as wages earned or merited, but as a gift of God." Many Christians believe that gift was only made possible by Jesus dying on the cross and rising from the dead.

From Quiz My Word -- Common Sayings from the Bible -- #2

Answer: The Psalms

The Psalms is the correct answer with the phrase coming from the 10th verse of Psalm 90. According to Answers.com, the term 'three score and ten' is found in only the KJV of the Bible simply because it is an old English term. 'Three score and ten', of course, refers to 70 years with a score being equivalent to 20 years.

30. A common saying used by people indicating they don't believe they have a responsibility to help the less fortunate is 'am I my brother's keeper?' This phrase was first used in Genesis 4:9. Who said it?

From Quiz My Word -- Common Sayings from the Bible

Answer: Cain

The question "am I my brother's keeper?" was asked by Cain when Scripture says the Lord wanted to know the whereabouts of Abel. Cain's statement is often used to reflect the view no one should be responsible for the welfare of others. However, the statement has also been turned around and has given birth to the term 'my brother's keeper'. The term 'my brother's keeper' has been incorporated into everything from the title of a movie to a Christian organization involved in helping the impoverished.
