Answer: Exodus 19:19

It only stands to reason the correct answer for this one is Exodus 19:19. After all, Exodus, the second book in the Old Testament as well as the Hebrew Bible, is largely about the exploits of Moses as he led the Israelites out of Egypt on a forty-year-long journey to Canaan, known as the Promised Land.

Chapter 19 of Exodus tells of God being on Mount Sinai and communicating with Moses. Exodus 20 goes on to tell of God giving Moses the Ten Commandments.

Answer: Naomi

The instructions in Ruth 3:3 were given to Ruth by Naomi, her mother-in-law, and the man she is making reference to in the verse is Boaz. He was a wealthy landowner in Bethlehem and the book of Ruth is largely about a romance between Ruth and Boaz. While Boaz was an Israelite, Ruth was a Gentile from Moab.

Scripture tells of Ruth marrying Mahlon, the son of Elimelech and Naomi. A second son of Elimelech and Naomi was married to Orpah. However, the three men died and Ruth, Naomi and Orpah became widows. While Oraph returned to her home country, Ruth opted to stay with Naomi.

She would marry Boaz and they would become parents of a bouncing baby boy, Obed. Scripture goes on to tell of Obed becoming the father of Jesse and the grandfather of King David.

Answer: Psalm 3:3

Psalm 3:3 is the correct answer. The Psalm was written by David during a time when his son Absalom was staging a coup attempt. Israel was involved in a bloody civil war with one side supporting David and the other side backing Absalom. For a time, Absalom held the upper hand and David and his supporters were on the run. It was during the time David was fleeing from Absalom that he wrote Psalm 3.

Answer: Amos 7:7

Amos is the prophet who had a vision of God holding a plumb line. The vision is recorded in Amos 7:7-9. In his vision, Amos reports the Lord told him he was "setting a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore."

Amos was a sheepbreeder from Tekoa who prophesied in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and Jeroboam, king of Israel.

Answer: Jesus

Jesus is the correct answer. The instructions outlined in Mark 14:14 were given to two of His disciples in preparation to celebrate the Passover. The celebration afterwards would become known as the Last Supper.

Mark 14:12-20 tells of Jesus instructing His disciples to go into Jerusalem and that when they saw a man carrying a pitcher of water, they were to follow him.

The disciples were also told that when the man carrying the pitcher entered a house, they were to follow him and to make the powers that be aware that they need use of a large upper room for celebration of the Passover.

And sure enough, everything unfolded just as Jesus said it would.

Answer: Matthew 1:1

Matthew 1:1 is the correct answer. The genealogy runs through the first sixteen verses of the Gospel. According to Matthew 1:17, there were fourteen generations from Abraham to David, fourteen generations from David until the captivity in Babylon and fourteen generations and from the captivity in Babylon until the birth of Christ.

The only other genealogy of Jesus in the Bible appears in Luke 3:23-38

Answer: Jesus

Jesus made the statement recorded in Luke 11:11. To put the verse in context, here's how Luke 11:9-11 reads in the NKJV: "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for [e]bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?"

The passage is known as the Parable of the Good Father. A parallel passage appears in Matthew 7:7-11.

Answer: John 17:17

The verse is from John 17:17 and is part of a passage telling of Jesus praying to His Father prior to His arrest and crucifixion. After uttering His prayer in John 17:17, Jesus goes on to pray for all believers.

For the record, there is no Mark 18:18, Acts 29:29 or Philemon 2:2. Mark has only sixteen chapters while Acts ends at Chapter 28. Meanwhile, Philemon has only one chapter. The Gospel of John was written by John, one of the original Twelve Disciples.

Answer: John of Patmos

John, the writer of Revelation, is the one who took the little book out of the angel's hands and ate it, as per Revelation 10:10. According to the verse, the book was as "sweet as honey" in John's mouth, but when he swallowed it, it became bitter.

After he ate the book, the angel is quoted as telling John, "You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings."

Revelation has perplexed readers for some two thousand years. The overall theme of the book is there are two cities -- Babylon and the New Jerusalem. While the inhabitants of Babylon face a horrific future, the citizens of the New Jerusalem will enjoy a glorious future.
