Can You Match the New Testament Verses? -- #4 Quiz

Answer: Matthew 5:9

The verse in question is from Matthew 5:9, part of the Beatitudes. Matthew, a tax collector and a member of the original Twelve Disciples, is credited with writing the Gospel of Matthew. He was also known as Levi.

The Beatitudes run from Matthew 5:1 to 5:12.

Some theologians believe Matthew knew a form of shorthand, as his account of the Beatitudes, which is followed by the Sermon on the Mount, is more comprehensive than other accounts.

Answer: John 14:6

The famous statement 'I am the way, the truth, and the life" was made by Jesus in John 14:6. Previously, Jesus had stated there are many mansions in His Father's house and He was going to prepare a place for His disciples, adding they knew where He was going and they knew the way.

Thomas, one of the original Twelve Disciples, responded, "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?"

Jesus then made the famous statement found in John 14:6.

Answer: Luke 15:21

The verse is from Luke 15:21 and is part of a passage known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son. The parable is found in only the Gospel of Luke and no where else in the Bible.

According to the parable, the young son of a rich man moved to a foreign land where he squandered all his funds on a prodigal lifestyle. Finding himself down and out, the unnamed son returned home to his father saying he was no longer worthy of being called his son and would work for him as a hired hand. The father, however, accepted his son back with open arms.

In Luke 15:24, the father makes the famous statement, "...my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found."

Answer: 1 Corinthians 1:18

1 Corinthians 1:18 is the correct answer. The verse is part of a passage in which Paul, the writer of 1 Corinthians, makes the case Christ is the power and wisdom of God.

In Verses 24 and 25 in the NKJV, Paul, states, "...to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men."

1 Corinthians was addressed to members of the early church in the Greek city of Corinth. Paul also wrote 2 Corinthians.

Answer: Romans 16:17

Romans 16:17 is the correct answer. The verse is part of a passage in which Paul urges believers to avoid divisive people. Using Bible versions such as the KJV, NKJV and NIV, Chapter 16 is the final chapter in Romans.

The book was addressed to believers in the early church in Rome. I find it fascinating that Paul devotes a substantial amount of space in the chapter to greeting individual members of the Roman church.

Answer: Philemon 1:12

The verse is from Philemon 1:12 and when it states, "I am sending him back", the words are in reference to Onesimus, a slave who ran away from his master Philemon.

In the book of Philemon, Paul urges his old friend to accept Onesimus back as an equal in Christ. Paul made the request of Philemon after he had converted Onesimus to Christianity in Rome.

Answer: 2 Peter 3:7

The verse is from 2 Peter 3:7 and is part of a passage in which Peter, the of the book, assures readers God keeps His Promises.

Verses 8 and 9 go on to state in the NKJV: "But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance."

Using Bible versions such as the KJV, NKJV and NIV, 2 Peter consists of only three chapters, making it one of the smaller books in the New Testament.

Answer: 3 John 1:4

3 John 1:4 is the correct answer. Using Bible versions such as the KJV, NKJV and NIV, 3 John consists of only fourteen verses.

John, one of the original Twelve Disciples, is credited with writing 1 John, 2 John and 3 John as well as the Gospel of John and Revelation.

John uses the word 'children' often in his writings. Using the NKJV, the word 'children' appears seventeen times in the 1 John, 2 John and 3 John. This even though the three books comprise only seven chapters, using the KJV, NKJV and NIV.

Answer: Acts 20:32

The verse in the question is from Acts 20:32. The verse is part of a passage telling of Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, addressing believers in Ephesus, a city in present day Turkey.

The Book of Acts was written by Luke, a physician and worker in the early church.

Here's how Acts 20:32 reads in its entirety in the NKJV: "So now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified."

Answer: Revelation 22:18

The verse is from Revelation 22:18, part of the final chapter in the New Testament. In fact, using versions such as the KJV, NKJV and NIV, only three verses appear after Revelation 22:18.

Here's how Revelation 22:18 reads in its entirety in the NKJV: "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book."
