Answer: Philip

Philip, one of the original Twelve Disciples, is the correct answer. According to John 12:21, Philip came from Bethsaida, the same town as Peter and Andrew. Bethsaida was a fishing community on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. There is a second man in the New Testament called Philip. He was a Grecian Jew who was chosen to oversee the distribution of food to widows, as per Acts 6:1-7. Acts 8:26-40 tells of Philip converting an unnamed Ethiopian eunuch to Christianity. For the record, here are the symbols for the elements in the question: phosphorus (P), hydrogen (H), iodine (I), lithium (Li) and phosphorus (P).

Answer: Huldah

Huldah was a prophetess in the Old Testament who gave advice to the high priest Hilkiah, yet another name that starts and ends with the same letter. In a nutshell, Huldah told Hilkiah and his associates God would "bring calamity on this place and on its inhabitants" because the people of Jerusalem had turned their backs to Him. However, because King Josiah had humbled himself, Huldah prophesied God's judgment on Jerusalem would not come until the king had died peacefully. (The question is left over from a quiz about Bible names starting and ending with the same letter.)

Answer: David

David is the author of Psalm 55 as well as more than seventy other Psalms found in the book. The verse is part of a passage in which David pours his heart out to God during a severe trial he was enduring. Many people believe the Psalm is telling prophetically of the experience of Jesus Christ. To put the verse in context, here's how Psalm 55:4-7 appears in the NKJV: "My heart is severely pained within me and the terrors of death have fallen upon me. Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me and horror has overwhelmed me. So I said, 'Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and be at rest. Indeed, I would wander far off and remain in the wilderness.'" (The question is left over from a quiz titled 'Taking a 'Rest' in the Old and New Testaments'.)

Poti-Pherah was Joseph's father-in-law. Genesis 41:45 states the Pharaoh gave Joseph a wife, Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. (In the KJV and the NIV, Poti-Phera's name is not hyphenated.) The same verse also states the Pharaoh gave Joseph a new hyphenated name: Zaphnath-Paaneah. Joseph and Asenath were the parents of two boys, Manasseh and Ephraim. (The question is left over from a quiz about hyphenated names in the Bible.)

Answer: Samson

Samson is the correct answer. According to Judges 16 in the NKJV, Samson entered the house of a prostitute in Gaza and when the locals found out, they set a trap to kill him in the morning. Verse 2 states "they surrounded the place" and they "were quiet all night", saying, "In the morning, when it is daylight, we will kill him." However, Samson, the super strong judge of Israel, thwarted their plans when he made a break for it during the night. According to Verse 3, Samson arose at midnight, "took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron." No further details are given. (The question is left over from a quiz titled 'Will You Please Be Quiet!')

Answer: Gaza

According to Judges 16:1, Samson, a judge of Israel known for his super strength, went to Gaza and visited an unnamed prostitute. When local residents caught wind of his visit, they planned to surround the house and kill him in the morning when he came out. However, Samson surprised them by leaving the prostitute's house at midnight. Scripture states Samson took hold of the doors of the gate of the city as well as the two gateposts and carried them to the top of the hill that faces Hebron. According to the Smith's Bible Dictionary, Gaza was one of the five chief cities of the Philistines in Biblical times.

Answer: The original Twelve Disciples

The question, "Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?", was asked of Jesus by the original Twelve Disciples, as per Matthew 18:1-5. The passage tells of the disciples getting an answer they were not expecting. Scripture tells of Jesus calling a little child to come to Him and after setting the child in the midst of them, He made the famous proclamation: "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Whoever receives one little child like this in My name receives Me." The teaching was seen as extremely radical at the time, as children in Biblical times were to be seen and not heard. (The question is left over from a quiz titled 'Ten Questions People Asked Jesus'.)

From Quiz A Serving of Biblical Left Overs -- #9

Answer: Andrew and another unnamed disciple of John the Baptist

The question of Jesus was asked by Andrew and another unnamed disciple of John the Baptist, as per John 1:35-39. Verse 35 explains John the Baptist was standing with two of his disciples when he saw Jesus coming and proclaimed, "Behold the Lamb of God!" Scripture goes on to tell of the two disciples following Jesus and when He saw this, Jesus turned and asked them, "What do you seek?" In response, the two disciples of John asked Jesus where He was staying. When Jesus told them to, "come and see," they went where He was staying and remained with Him the rest of the day. Then Verse 40 explains one of two who followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother. (The question is left over from a quiz about questions people asked Jesus.)

Answer: Peter

Peter asked the question of Jesus at the Last Supper, as per John 13:6. When Jesus answered Peter, saying, "What I am doing you do not understand now, but you will know after this," Peter was defiant. "You shall never wash my feet!" he is quoted as saying in Verse 8. When Jesus answered him, "If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me," Peter again spoke without thinking things through. In Verse 9, he is quoted as telling Jesus, "Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!" Verse 10 tells of Christ's response: "He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you." (The statement 'not all of you' was in reference to Judas Iscariot who would betray Him.) After washing their feet, Jesus goes on to tell His disciples: "Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them." (The question is left over from a quiz about questions people asked Jesus.)

From Quiz A Serving of Biblical Left Overs -- #7

Answer: Moses

The correct answer is Moses as per Exodus 5:22. According to Scripture, Moses asked the question shortly after he made his fist appearance before the Pharaoh seeking permission for the Israelites to leave Egypt and go to Canaan, known as the Promised Land. The Pharaoh firmly shot down Moses' request and took decisive action to make life tougher for the Israelites who were slaves for the Egyptians. As part of their duties to make bricks, the Pharaoh decreed the Israelites would have to gather straw for themselves and they would have to reach the same production quota. Previously, the straw had been provided to them. The Israelites took their anger out on Moses and Aaron, stating, "Let the LORD look on you and judge, because you have made us abhorrent in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us." Scripture tells of Moses turning to God and asking Him: "LORD why have You brought trouble on this people? Why is it You have sent me? For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You delivered Your people at all." Scripture goes on to tell of Moses and the Israelites, after a long process, gaining approval from the Pharaoh to leave Egypt. (The question is left over from a quiz about questions people asked God.)

Answer: boils

The Egyptians became afflicted with boils after God instructed Moses and Aaron to take "handfuls of ashes from a furnace" and scatter it "toward the heavens in the sight of Pharaoh." According to Exodus 9:8-12, the ashes from the furnace became fine dust, causing "boils that break out in sores on man and beast throughout all the land of Egypt." The plague was part of a divine plan to convince the Pharaoh to grant permission to the Israelites to leave Egypt and move to Canaan, known as the Promised Land. (The question is left over from a quiz about the miracles of Moses.)

Answer: Eutychus

Eutychus was miraculously brought back to life when he died after tumbling out of a third-storey window in Troas, as per Acts 20:7-12. According to the passage, Eutychus fell asleep in a window as Paul apparently preached on and on. Scripture tells of Eutychus falling to his death and then being revived by Paul. No age is given for Eutychus, but it is commonly assumed he was a youth, possibly as young as 13 or 14 years. (The question is left over from a quiz about the miracles of Peter and Paul.)

Answer: 2

Going strictly by Scripture, Zebedee had two sons -- James and John. His sons were two of the original Twelve Disciples, as per Mark 1:19. Zebedee was a fisherman like his two sons. Many theologians believe Zebedee's wife was Salome. It is possible Zebedee and Salome were the parents of other children, but going by Scripture, the correct answer to the question has to be two. (The question is left over from a quiz titled 'Children In the Old and New Testaments.)

Answer: Proverbs

The advice about raising a child is found in Proverbs 22:6. The verse in the NKJV states, "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." A considerable portion of Proverbs, including Chapter 22, was written by King Solomon. (The question was left over from a quiz about children in the Old and New Testaments.)

Answer: Matri

Matri is mentioned as an ancestor of Saul in 1 Samuel 10:21. The verse is part of a passage telling of Saul, the son of Kish, being selected to become the first king of Israel. However, when the people went looking for Saul to make him king, he couldn't be found. 1 Samuel 10:22 tells of the people inquiring of the LORD about Saul's whereabouts with the LORD answering, "There he is, hidden among the equipment." (The English Standard Version states Saul was hiding among the "baggage".) Scripture goes on to tell of the people taking Saul from his hiding place and proclaiming him as Israel's first king. Using various translations of the Bible, 1 Samuel 10:21 is the only place in which Matri is mentioned. As a result, little is known about him.

Answer: Peter

The question was asked of Jesus by Peter, one of the original Twelve Disciples, as per Matthew 19:27. According to Scripture, Peter asked the question moments after Jesus made the famous statement, "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." In response to Peter's question, Jesus is quoted in Matthew 29:30 in the NKJV as saying "...Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life."

Answer: The original Twelve Disciples

Matthew 21:20 tells of the original Twelve Disciples asking the question of Jesus after they saw a fig tree wither before their eyes. Previous verses state Jesus was hungry and saw a fig tree by the road but found no fruit on it. Jesus is quoted as saying to the tree: "Let no fruit grow on you ever again." Immediately the fig tree withered away. When the disciples saw the incident, Scripture states they marveled, wanting to know, "How did the fig tree wither away so soon?" Verses 21 and 22 tell of Christ's response to the disciples: "Assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' it will be done. And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (The question is left over from a quiz about questions people asked Jesus.)
