Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me."

Answer: Revelation 3:20

Revelation 3:20 is the correct answer. The verse quotes Jesus and is part of a passage which addresses the shortcomings of the church at Laodicea. In Revelations, the church at Laodicea is known as 'the lukewarm church'.

Six other churches addressed in Revelations were at Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis and Philadelphia. Tradition holds Revelation was written by John, one of the original Twelve Disciples.

2. "And Thomas answered and said to Him, 'My Lord and my God!'"

Answer: John 20:28

John 20:28 tells of Thomas, one of the original Twelve Disciples, declaring Jesus as "my Lord and my God!". Thomas made the famous declaration after Jesus was resurrected from the dead and showed Thomas the crucifixion wounds in His hands and His side. Previously, Thomas had heard reports about Jesus' resurrection but stubbornly refused to believe what he had been told. In fact, Thomas proclaimed he would not believe Christ had risen from the dead until he had the opportunity to examine the crucifixion wounds.

John 20:24-29 tells of Thomas' sudden transformation from skeptic to a rock solid believer as Jesus miraculously appeared before him as well as the other disciples.

3. "...there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance."

Answer: Luke 15:7

The statement, "there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance" was made by Jesus and can be found in Luke 15:7. The quote appears in a passage known as the Parable of the Lost Sheep.

The chapter goes on to quote Jesus telling the Parable of the Lost Coin and the Parable of the Prodigal Son.

4. "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness."

Answer: 2 Timothy 3:16

The correct answer is 2 Timothy 3:16. The book of 2 Timothy, similar to 1 Timothy, was written by Paul and addressed to Timothy, a young and timid worker in the early church. In the two books, Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles, provides instructions to Timothy on pastoral duties and the like.

5. "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

Answer: Matthew 11:28

The verse in question quotes Jesus and is found in Matthew 11:28. To put the verse in context, here's how Matthew 11:28-30 reads in the NKJV: "Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

The verse is a favorite of tens of thousands of Christians around the world.

Matthew, the writer of the Gospel of Matthew, was a tax collector and one of the original Twelve Disciples. He is also known as Levi.

6. "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk."

Answer: Acts 3:6

Peter, one of the original Twelve Disciples, uttered the words featured in the question. After encountering an unnamed paralyzed man who asked for money, Peter commanded him to "rise up and walk," as per Acts 3:16. Miraculously, the man did just that!

Peter was accompanied by John at the time. Going strictly by Scripture, this was the first miracle performed by a disciple after Christ's ascension to heaven. For further details, see Acts 3:1-10.

7. "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain."

Answer: Philippians 1:21

The statement made by Paul is found in Philippians 1:21. The verse is part of a passage in which Paul states his life is devoted completely to Christ. Later in the chapter, Paul goes on to tell of striving and suffering for Christ.

The book of Philippians was written by Paul and addressed to members of the early church in Philippi.

8. "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

Answer: Mark 10:47

Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, shouted, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" The statement is found in Mark 10:47. Scripture states Bartimaeus made the plea at Jericho while Jesus was passing by. 'Son of David' was a Messianic title and by using such a term Bartimaeus was acknowledging Jesus as the Christ.

A few moments after Bartimaeus made his plea, Jesus miraculously enabled him to see. For further details, see Mark 10:46-52.

9. "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Answer: Matthew 19:14

The statement pertaining to little children was made by Jesus and is found in Matthew 19:14. The verse is part of a passage telling of little children being brought to Jesus for Him to place His hands on them and to pray for them. The disciples, however, rebuked Jesus largely because in Biblical times children were to be seen and not heard.

In response, Jesus made the famous statement, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Similar statements by Jesus also appear in Mark 10:14 and Luke 18:16.

10. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Answer: John 1:1

The statement in the question is from John 1:1. At the beginning of his Gospel, John sets the stage to prove Jesus is God.

To put the verse in context, here's how John 1:1-3 reads in the NKJV: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made."

The writer of the Gospel was John, one of the original Twelve Disciples.
