Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Helper needed to gather animals for upcoming water cruise. Experience in zoology with extensive knowledge of all species necessary. Apply in person today -- ask for ________. For whom should you ask?

Answer: Noah

Noah, a righteous man in a world filled with wickedness, was chosen by God to ensure the survival of all life forms after the flood. He and his wife, along with their three sons and daughters-in-law, were given the responsibility of building the ark, gathering the animals, and safely securing them before the rains began.

The story of Noah is found in the book of Genesis.
2. Temporary position: freelance writer needed to continue work on book of poetry and hymns. Author currently on military deployment in war with Philistines. Employment guaranteed until he returns after killing giant. If you're hired, who will you be replacing?

Answer: David

The story of David's defeat of Goliath is told in I Samuel. David is credited with composing most of the book of Psalms.

Psalm 151 is not included in all versions of the Bible but is believed by some to be David's personal account of the battle.

Psalm 151 (NRSV):
"I was small among my brothers, and the youngest in my father's house;
I tended my father's sheep.
My hands made a harp; my fingers fashioned a lyre.
And who will tell my Lord? The Lord himself; it is he who hears.
It was he who sent his messenger and took me from my father's sheep,
and anointed me with his anointing-oil.
My brothers were handsome and tall, but the Lord was not pleased with them.
I went out to meet the Philistine, and he cursed me by his idols.
But I drew his own sword; I beheaded him, and took away disgrace from the
people of Israel."
3. Immediate opening for pet sitter. Owners must travel tonight to Bethlehem to visit newborn baby boy. Outside work, please dress appropriately. What animal(s) will you be caring for if you accept this job?

Answer: Sheep

This beloved passage can be found in Luke, chapter 2. God could have sent the angel to the richest or most powerful men in the world. Instead, He chose a group of humble shepherds to be the first to learn of the birth of Jesus.
4. Domestic help needed! Homemaker seeks assistant for household duties including, but not limited to, cooking, cleaning, serving and entertaining distinguished guests. Room and board provided in three-adult household in Bethany. (Brother and sister would rather socialize than assist with chores.) Which overworked lady of the house placed this ad?

Answer: Martha

As documented in the Gospel of Luke, Martha became frustrated with her sister when Mary chose to sit and listen to Jesus's teachings instead of helping with meal preparations. Jesus's response was to remind Martha of the importance of priorities. Small tasks that seem important at the moment will not last: it is our life choices that will matter in the long run.
5. Busy Capernaum accounting firm has position available. Qualified candidates will have extensive knowledge of tax law and be fluent in Greek and Aramaic. Excellent pay and benefits. No phone calls, please. Name the person who previously held this job.

Answer: Matthew

Matthew 9:9 tells the story of the tax collector who was at work when he was approached by Jesus and invited to join the disciples. Without hesitation, Matthew walked away from his wealthy lifestyle to follow Jesus.

Tax collectors were often loathed and were viewed as corrupt and greedy individuals who couldn't be trusted. In fact, Jesus was questioned by the scribes when he was seen having dinner with Matthew, leading to His familiar response:

Matthew 9:12-13: "On hearing this, Jesus said, 'It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: I desire mercy, not sacrifice. For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.'" (NIV)
6. Young mother seeks nanny/companion for precocious twelve-year-old boy. Applicant must be available to accompany family on upcoming Passover vacation to Jerusalem and be willing to closely supervise our son during the trip. Serious inquiries only. Which New Testament lady may have written this classified?

Answer: Mary

We can only imagine the panic felt by Mary and Joseph when they realized their son was missing, and their relief at finding him in the temple. The Bible mentions little of Jesus's childhood but this well known story from Luke is proof that even at a young age, He possessed wisdom and understanding that has never been equaled.
7. Day laborers needed immediately for family-owned business near Sea of Galilee. Apply in person, ask for Zebedee. What type of worker is this employer seeking?

Answer: Fisherman

Zebedee was the father of James and John. Both Matthew and Mark tell the story of the brothers who left their dad and his hired men sitting in the boat after they were invited to become disciples of Jesus.

There are many references to the fishing trade throughout the Bible. The occupation required a strong work ethic, patience, willingness to travel, and good communication skills in the marketplace. (It's really no surprise that Jesus chose people from this profession!)
8. Work from home! Wealthy family now accepting applications for nursemaid for newly adopted three-month-old son. Apply at Pharaoh's castle, see his daughter. For whom is the princess seeking a caregiver?

Answer: Moses

After Pharaoh's order that all newborn Hebrew boys be killed, baby Moses was hidden by the river and rescued by none other than Pharaoh's daughter, who subsequently hired the baby's own mother to care for the infant. When Moses became old enough, he was taken back to the princess, who raised him as her own son.

The story of Moses can be found in Exodus, Chapter 2.
9. Prominent judge is currently accepting applications for clerk. Applicants must have prior experience, preferably in military law. Please send resume to 7 Palm Tree Way, Ephraim. If you are hired, for whom will you be working?

Answer: Deborah

Deborah was not just the only female judge named in the Bible, she was also credited with leading Israel to victory in the battle with Sisera and his Canaanite army.

Deborah's story is told in the book of Judges.
10. Charitable organization has several openings for seamstresses, bakers, home repair specialists, and companions for the elderly. Company specializes in providing emergency assistance for widows, orphans and single parents. Applicants must be hardworking and dependable. Please send resume with references to Second Life Ministries in Joppa. Can you name the CEO who placed this ad?

Answer: Tabitha

Tabitha (also known as Dorcas) was loved by the people of Joppa for her tireless efforts to help the poor. When Tabitha became ill and died, her friends summoned Peter, who, after praying beside the body, commanded her to get up. Through Peter, God restored her life, allowing her to continue her work and creating many believers in the town.

The story of Tabitha's return from death is recorded in the book of Acts, chapter 9, verses 36-42.
