31 Jesus sat by a well, when a woman came to get water. How did Jesus greet her?
Answer: "Give me a drink."

"Whom do you seek?" was spoken by Jesus to the soldiers the night of his arrest in a Jerusalem garden. (John 18:4) "Greetings, favored one!" were the angel Gabriel's words to Mary before she became pregnant with Jesus. (Luke 1:28)

32 In John 12:23-26, Jesus attempted to explain to the people around him why he must die, using what type of grain as an example?
Answer: kernel of wheat

Jesus explained how a grain of wheat, if left on a stalk, stays an individual seed, but if it is allowed to fall to the ground and "die", it will become many seeds.

33 The fourth 'I am Statement' is found in John 10:11. Complete the missing word from two different places in the quote: "I am the good _______. The good _________ gives His life for the sheep."
Answer: shepherd

The missing word is 'shepherd'. Scripture states Christ's words were prophetic as all four Gospels tell of Him giving His life for His sheep. At the same time, the four Gospels all tell of Jesus rising from the dead three days after His crucifixion, just like He said He would on multiple occasions.

The 'I am Statement' by Jesus in John 10:11 comes immediately after another 'I am Statement' in Verse 9. In that verse, Jesus states He is the door. (In the NIV, it quotes Him as saying He is the gate.)

To put the two verses in context, I recommend reading John 10:1-18.
    Your options: [ guardian ] [ friend ] [ shepherd ] [ farmer ]

34 In John 8, after saving the adulterous woman, Jesus speaks to the Pharisees saying, "I am the ______ of the world"
Answer: Light

After Jesus said this to the Pharisees and Jews, they told Him that his testimony wasn't true, with which He responded saying that His testimony was in fact true because he knew where He had come from and where He was going (and the Jews did not). This clever sparring of words continued for a while in which we learn that Jesus is going somewhere where they can't follow. This conversation can be read in John 8: 12-59.

35 On Christ's arrival, it is reported in verse 17 that Lazarus is dead. For how many days had his body been in a tomb?
Answer: 4

Yes, four days is the correct answer. In other words, the funeral was over a long time ago and Lazarus was as dead as they come. According to Wikipedia, rigor mortis lasts for about 72 hours, or three days. In this case, the rigor mortis was over and now the body was starting to decay in the hot Mediterranean sun.

36 Lazarus' sisters sent Jesus a message telling him that their brother was sick; what did Christ do after he received this message?
Answer: He waited two days before going to them

John 11:6 tells us, "When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was."

Before they travelled to Bethany, Jesus told his Apostles that Lazarus was asleep. The confused Apostles thought that Lazarus was actually slumbering; then Christ, to end the confusion, clearly told the Apostles that Lazarus had died. Jesus explained further that the death of Lazarus would help to strengthen the Apostles' faith.

37 In John 4:6, why did Jesus stop on His journey?
Answer: He was tired.

He was tired from the journey, so He stopped to rest and refresh Himself at a place that was very important in His ancestry. This place, called Shechem, was where the LORD appeared to Abram saying, "to your offspring I will give this land." And Abram built an altar to God there, recorded in Genesis 12:6-7.

38 In chapter 2, John records an event as marking the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. The other gospel writers include the same event at the start of his final week. Which story is this?
Answer: The cleansing of the temple in Jerusalem

The picture of Jesus revealed in the other gospels is one that unfolds gradually and in Galilee. There is a sense that his true identity and purpose is hidden. This initial period ends with Peter's acknowledgment of Jesus as the messiah (or christ). From that point, the action moves onward towards Jerusalem and the celebration of the Passover feast that will mark the end of Jesus' life.

John's portrayal is altogether different. He does not include Peter's acknowledgment and, by the time of his death, Jesus has already visited Jerusalem for three separate Passovers. He is also a thorn in the side of the Jerusalem authorities right from the start, with many people seeing his miraculous signs and openly speculating that he is the messiah.
    Your options: [ The healing of a leper ] [ The cleansing of the temple in Jerusalem ] [ Bringing a dead child back to life ] [ Teaching the disciples how to pray ]

39 In John 6:35 (KJV) Jesus says, "I am the bread of" what?
Answer: life

It says in John 6:35 "And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."

Bread was very important to the Jewish people, so He used this metaphor to tell them that He was all they needed.

40 How did the woman at the well respond to Jesus' greeting?
Answer: with curiosity

The woman couldn't get over the fact that a Jewish man would ask her for a drink. It was bad enough that she was a woman, but John tells us that the Jews had no dealings with Samaritans. (John 4:9) When the disciples returned they were "amazed" to see him chatting with her. (John 4:27)
