Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In Luke Chapter 3, John baptizes his cousin Jesus in the Jordan River. In what form does the Holy Spirit descend on Jesus?

Answer: A dove

John the Baptist tells the crowds, "I baptize you with water... but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." (Luke 3:16)
2. In John Chapter 2, Jesus and the disciples are invited to a wedding in Cana. There are six empty jars, each capable of holding twenty-five gallons of water. What is the water to be used for?

Answer: Purification rites

When the wine at the wedding runs out, Jesus' mother asks him to remedy the disaster. He tells the servants to fill the jars with water and present the liquid to the steward. The water having turned into wine, the steward admonishes the bridegroom, "You have kept the good wine until now." (John 2:10)
3. In Matthew Chapter 8, Jesus orders his disciples to cross the Sea of Galilee. As they set out, a storm arises. What is Jesus doing in the boat?

Answer: Sleeping

When the sea around them grows stormy and angry, the terrified disciples wakes Jesus. He gets up and rebukes the waters. The sea calms immediately. The disciples ask each other, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?" (Matthew 8:27)
4. In John Chapter 5 we read of the pool at the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem. Jesus is in the city for a feast and notices the sick man lying next to the pool. How long has the man been sick?

Answer: 38 years

People believed that the waters in the pool were stirred by an angel. The first person to reach the pool after this stirring would be cured.

Jesus does not help the man into the pool but instead tells him to get to his feet and take up his mat. He is instantly cured.
5. In Mark Chapter 5, Jesus arrives in the country of the Gerasenes. When he orders the unclean spirits to leave the man living among the tombs, what type of animals do the spirits enter and drown in the sea?

Answer: Pigs

According to Mark 5:12, the spirits beg Jesus to allow them to enter the pigs. The pigs are about two thousand in number. The whole herd runs off the cliff and drowns. Instead of rejoicing, the people of the area ask Jesus to leave their neighbourhood.
6. At the city of Sychar in Samaria, Jesus has a conversation with a woman about living water. Written up in John Chapter 4, at what place do Jesus and the woman meet?

Answer: Jacob's Well

Jesus speaks of the well where he is sitting, saying: "Every one who drinks of this water will thirst again but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst." (John 4:13) The woman calls out that he should give her that "living water" at once.
7. In John Chapter 9, Jesus preaches in the temple. Outside, he sees a man born blind. He orders the man to go and wash in the Pool of Siloam. What does Siloam mean?

Answer: Sent

Jesus mixes spittle and clay to place on the man's eyes. When the man washes his eyes at the pool, he can see for the first time in his life. At first he does not know who healed him but Jesus later returns and says to him, "For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see and that those who see may become blind." (John 9:39)
8. In Luke Chapter 16, Jesus tells the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. After both of them die, whom does the rich man ask to make Lazarus dip his finger in water to cool his tongue?

Answer: Abraham

When Lazarus dies he goes directly to Abraham's bosom, but the rich man goes to the place of torment. He wants water to slake his thirst and thinks he can order both Abraham and Lazarus around. Abraham tells him, "Between us and you a great chasm has been fixed." (Luke 16:26)
9. In Matthew Chapter 14, we read of another storm on the Sea of Galilee. The disciples are alone in the boat. Before Jesus joins them by walking on the water, what has he been doing alone on the mountain?

In Matthew 14:25, it states that Jesus walks on the sea in the fourth watch, before sunrise. The disciple fear that he is a ghost but he reassures them, "Take heart, its is I; have no fear." (Matthew 14:27)
10. Jesus stands in the temple and proclaims: "He who believes in me... out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water." (John 7:38). During what feast does this event take place?
