Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Matthew 3:16

With Jesus as the subject of this verse, it really was limited to being one of the Gospels. And with John 3:16 off the table, you had a decent chance at getting this one. John showed full reverence at Jesus' request to be baptized by him. He even claimed it should have been the other way around. But Jesus said it should be so to fulfill all righteousness.

Answer: Daniel 3:16

In the early part of the book of Daniel, Nebuchadnezzar haains him high esteem from the king. When Daniel receives a high position, he also asks that his friends Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego come with him. But the turn towards idolatry that King Nebuchadnezzar orders the people to obey was beyond what the three would do, and they were thrown into the fiery furnace. Seeing them come out unharmed, Nebuchadnezzar praised the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

Answer: Joshua

The final verse of the chapter tells of the high priests holding the Ark of the Covenant in the center of the Jordan River on a small island while the Israelites crossed. Three chapters after this, Joshua and the Israelites, with the help of God, would take down the city of Jericho.

Answer: I John 3:16

This series of epistles is thought to be written by the same person who wrote the Gospel of John, and therefore also the author of the verse that inspired this quiz.

Answer: Exodus

This is one of the verses telling the happenings when God appeared to Moses in the burning bush. It was in this chapter that Moses became the leader of the eventual escape out of Egypt.

Answer: Acts

These words are from Peter, the apostle who took the helm of continuing and expanding the Christian faith. The apostle Paul later in the book would grow the number of followers of Jesus Christ almost exponentially.

Answer: Job 3:16

Job receives lousy news from his only surviving servants of how he had lost everything, and then experiences what could be described as the worst case of shingles you could think, brought on by Satan himself. Job is in the midst of cursing his existence in Chapter 3, but never cursing God in the process.

Answer: Revelation

The Revelation of John, an apocalyptic ending to the Bible, starts with words to the seven angels of the churches of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and finally Laodicea, which is where this verse falls.

Answer: Genesis 3:16

From the story of the Garden of Eden, God has found out that sin has entered His kingdom, and he is exiling Adam and Eve from the Garden, and adding pain and suffering into the human world by doing so.

Answer: I and II Timothy

Timothy was sent to Ephesus by Paul to heal some regression the city had made in their behavior, and Paul wrote two epistles to guide Timothy in this.
