71 In John 4:7, when the Samaritan woman came to the well, what did Jesus ask her?
Answer: Will you give Me a drink?

Jesus asked her if she would give Him a drink of water from the well. And she asked Jesus why would He ask her for anything, because she was a Samaritan and the Jews usually had no dealings with the Samaritans.

72 Curiously, John's gospel contains the only references to the individual actions of one of the apostles in particular. Which disciple is this?
Answer: Andrew

In the other gospels, and in Acts, Andrew is only ever referred to as the brother of Peter or collectively with the other disciples. From John we learn that he was a follower of John the Baptist (John 1 v. 40); the first to privately acknowledge Jesus as messiah (John 1 v. 41); the person who brought the loaves and fishes to Jesus' attention in the miracle story known as the feeding of the 5,000 (John 6 v. 8-9); and the intermediary through whom some Greek pilgrims were introduced to Jesus (John 12 v. 20-22). It isn't known, though, why John shows such interest in Andrew.
    Your options: [ Peter ] [ Andrew ] [ Philip ] [ Judas ]

74 Why did the woman at the well think Jesus was a prophet?
Answer: He knew she'd been married before.

When the woman responded eagerly to Jesus' offer of living water, He told her to go get her husband. She replied that she had no husband. Jesus then told her the personal information that later led to her belief that He was the Messiah-- the fact that she had been married five times and now had a live-in boyfriend. (John 4:16-18, 29, 39)

75 According to John 19:31-36, when it appeared that Jesus had died, what did the Jews ask the Roman soldiers to do before they took down the bodies of Jesus and the other men?
Answer: have their legs broken

The means of death in a crucifixion was suffocation when a person could no longer hold up his body. The reason for breaking the legs was to keep them from holding themselves up.

78 Then in John 8:58, Jesus made a provocative statement to the Pharisees. Complete the missing name from the quote: "Most assuredly, I say to you, before ________ was, I AM."
Answer: Abraham

The missing name is 'Abraham'. In other words, Jesus stated, "Before Abraham was, I AM." Or as the notes in the NKJV Study Bible state, Jesus was not just claiming to have lived before Abraham, He was claiming eternal existence.

The notes go on to state: "He was claiming to be God Himself. (See Exodus 3:14) This time the Jewish leaders understood that Jesus was claiming to be God, so they took up stones to stone Him for blasphemy. (See Leviticus 24:16)"

To put the verse into context, I suggest you read John 8:48-59.
    Your options: [ John the Baptist ] [ Moses ] [ Abraham ] [ David ]

79 "Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more", was Jesus' statement to a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery, according to John 8:1-11. Who had brought her to the attention of Jesus?
Answer: The scribes and Pharisees

The scribes were the "law writers" and the Pharisees were a group of largely self-righteous believers in the law of Moses; a group to whom everything in the Jewish life was proscribed and dictated to the tiniest degree.

They had brought the woman to Jesus, not to see what should be done with her, (the law mandated stoning her to death), but rather to see by what manner they might be able to entrap Jesus with his own words.

His response to them, as seen in the King James Version of John 8:6-9 is recorded this way:

"This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, 'He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her'. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst."

It was at this juncture that Jesus spoke to her in the following manner:

"When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

(As an interesting aside, I personally find it remarkable that the MAN with whom the woman was accused of having an illicit relationship, is mentioned nowhere in the text. Since she wasn't engaged in adultery ALL BY HERSELF, why wasn't HE also accused? I think that this just shows the degree to which women were so little regarded in human history, even as recently as in Biblical times. Often viewed as "property" "slaves" or worse, women were NOT regarded as lowly creatures by Christ, because He voluntarily died on the cross for everyone, male and female alike.)

80 In John 18, Jesus is betrayed by Judas, and brought to Annas, Caiaphas, and finally Pilate. What is Pontius Pilate's initial reaction to Jesus?
Answer: Pilate tells the Jews to judge Jesus according to their own law

To that, the Jews respond saying that they do not have the right to condemn someone to death. When Pilate asks Jesus whether or not He is the King of the Jews, Jesus answers by saying that his kingdom is not of this world (meaning that His kingdom is the kingdom of God). At the end of the questioning, Pilate has found Jesus quite innocent but this doesn't satisfy the Jews so Pilate orders Jesus scourged and eventually crucified.
