Biblical Numbers -- 21 to 30 Trivia Quiz

Answer: John

The correct answer is the Gospel of John. The verse in question pertains to Jesus raising Martha's brother, Lazarus, from the dead. The account of Lazarus being raised from the dead is found in John 11:1-44 and nowhere else in the Bible. According to Scripture, Lazarus had been dead four days when Jesus raised him from the dead at Bethany, a village just outside Jerusalem in Biblical times.

In addition to Martha, Lazarus had a sister named Mary.

Answer: Ahab

1 Kings 16:29, in the NKJV, states: "In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years." According to Verse 31, his wife was Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians. Jezebel is generally regarded as the most evil woman in the Hebrew Bible and the English Bible.

Scripture tells of Ahab and Jezebel worshiping Baal and slaying prophets of God. Despite their frantic efforts, however, they were unable to kill the prophet Elijah.

Answer: Tola

Tola is the correct answer. Judges 10:1-2, in the NKJV, states: "After Abimelech there arose to save Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the mountains of Ephraim. He judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died and was buried in Shamir."

Out of the four options, Tola was the only one to serve as a judge of Israel. Ahab and Jehoiakim were both kings of Israel and Isaiah, of course, was a prophet who has a book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the English Bible named after him.

Answer: Revelation

Revelation is the correct answer. Revelation 4:9-11 in the NKJV states: "Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying:
'You are worthy, O Lord,
To receive glory and honor and power;
For You created all things,
And by Your will they exist[b] and were created'."

Revelation is the final book of the New Testament of the English Bible and it was written by John of Patmos. Tradition holds the writer was the same John who was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus; however, some modern theologians dispute the claim.

Answer: True

True. The four men were all 25 years old when they became king. Here's where details can be found in Scripture:
-- 2 Chronicles 25:1 tells of Amaziah becoming king of Judah when he was twenty-five years old.
-- 2 Chronicles 27:1 tells of Jotham becoming king of Judah when he was twenty-five years old.
-- 2 Chronicles 29:1 tells of Hezekiah becoming king of Judah when he was twenty-five years old.
-- 2 Chronicles 36:5 tells of Jehoiakim becoming king of Israel when he was twenty-five years old.

Answer: Paul on trial before Agrippa

The 26th chapter of Acts tells of Paul appearing before Agrippa. After his appearance before Agrippa, Paul would travel to Rome to appear before Caesar, according to Scripture.

The selection of Matthias to replace Judas Iscariot appears in the first chapter of Acts. Meanwhile, details about Jesus turning water into wine and Euodia and Syntyche being at logger heads do not appear in Acts. The account of Jesus turning water into wine is found in John 2:1-12 while reference to Euodia and Syntyche is found in Philippians 4:14.

Answer: Leviticus

Leviticus is the correct answer. For the record, Genesis has fifty chapters while Zechariah has fourteen chapters and the Psalms one hundred fifty chapters. Leviticus is the third book of the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the English Bible. It follows Genesis and Exodus and precedes Numbers.

Tradition holds Leviticus was written by Moses, but a number of modern theologians dispute the belief.

Answer: Matthew

The Gospel of Matthew has twenty eight chapters. Chapter 28 tells of Christ's resurrection and His giving the Great Commission to the remaining eleven disciples.

Tradition holds the Gospel was written by Matthew, one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. Matthew, a tax collector, was also known as Levi. Fittingly, he makes more references to money than the three other Gospel writers.

For the record, Mark has sixteen chapters while Luke has twenty-four and John twenty-one.

Answer: Hezekiah

The correct answer is Hezekiah. 2 Chronicles 29:1-2, in the NKJV, states Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah. Scripture goes on to state Hezekiah "did what was right in the sight of the LORD." 2 Kings 20:21 states he was succeeded by his son Manasseh.

Answer: Jesus

The correct answer is Jesus. In Luke 3:23-38, the genealogy of Jesus is given with Verse 23 stating that Christ began his ministry at "about thirty years of age."

Theologians have concluded Jesus preached His message of salvation for three years before He was crucified. Scripture states three days after the crucifixion Jesus arose from the dead and, after appearing to a large number of people, ascended to Heaven.
