Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
Answer:

Hitman Jules Winnfield (played by Samuel L. Jackson) recites this passage every time he executes someone. It can be heard three times in the film: before he kills Brett and twice in "The "Bonnie Situation". According to Jules, the quote is from Ezekiel 25:17, which is not quite true. In the King James Version of the Bible, Ezekiel 25:17 actually reads:

"And I will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall lay My vengeance upon them."

The rest of the long quote from "Pulp Fiction" is not found in the Bible.

So what happened? Well, "Pulp Fiction" doesn't quote the Bible, it quotes an old martial arts film. In an interview at the 1994 Cannes Film Festival, Quentin Tarantino revealed that he hadn't borrowed the long Ezekiel quote from the Bible, but from a largely unknown Japanese kung-fu film called "The Bodyguard" from 1973. The film opens with a title card that is almost verbatim the long quote from "Pulp Fiction". And even there, the Bible and Ezekiel 25:17 are credited as the source of the speech. Tarantino was very impressed by that long monologue in "The Bodyguard" and wanted to pay homage to it - he didn't mind that it didn't exactly match the Bible. He often joked later that Jules took the quote directly from "The Bodyguard" and never read it in the Bible.
