A Serving of Biblical Leftovers -- #5 Quiz

Answer: Eutychus

Eutychus was miraculously brought back to life when he died after tumbling out of a third-storey window in Troas, as per Acts 20:7-12. According to the passage, Eutychus fell asleep in a window as Paul apparently preached on and on. Scripture tells of Eutychus falling to his death and then being revived by Paul. No age is given for Eutychus, but it is commonly assumed he was a youth, possibly as young as 13 or 14 years.

Answer: No name is given

No name is given in Scripture for the demon-possessed slave girl who was miraculously healed by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles. However, Scripture is clear that the owners of the girl were livid about Paul's actions as, when she was freed of her demon, she lost her ability to tell fortunes. The owners had been making a lot of money off the girl's fortune telling abilities and with her talent gone, they saw a major source of revenue dry up.

Scripture goes on to tell of Paul and his co-worker Silas being savagely beaten before locked up in a jail in Philippi.

Answer: True

True. It's incredible, but Scripture tells of handkerchiefs and aprons being taken from Paul's body and used to miraculously cure an unstated number of people. Acts 19:11-12 explains things this way in the NKJV: "Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them." No further details are given.

Answer: They received the Holy Spirit

Scripture states when Peter and John laid their hands on believers at Samaria, they received the Holy Spirit. According to Acts 8:16, an unstated number of believers at Samaria had "only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus", with the following verse telling of the believers receiving the Holy Spirit when Peter and John laid their hands on them,.

Answer: True

True. When Paul laid his hands on believers in Ephesus, they started to talk in tongues and prophesied, as per Acts 19:1-7. According to the passage, the group had experienced the baptism of John the Baptist but did not know anything about the Holy Spirit. Things changed dramatically, however, when Paul laid his hands on the group. There is no indication in Scripture about the number of people in Ephesus who received the Holy Spirit when Paul laid his hands on them.

Answer: Isaiah

Isaiah prophesied about a time when lions would eat straw like oxen. The verse also states cows and bears would graze and their young ones would lie down together. The following verse in the NKJV goes on to state, "the nursing child shall play by the cobra's hole and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper's den."

The 11th chapter of Isaiah is seen by many Christians as prophecy pertaining to Jesus Christ.

Answer: Ezekiel

Ezekiel was the Old Testament prophet of God who had a vision of four four-faced creatures with one of the faces being that of a lion. Details about the strange looking creatures are found in Ezekiel 1:10, with the verse reading like something out of Revelation. The verse in the NKJV describes the creatures this way: "As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle."

Answer: John

Jesus describes Himself as the good shepherd in John 10:11 and 14.

In John 10:11 in the NKJV, Jesus states, "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep." Then in Verse 14, He goes on to state, "I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own."

While Jesus makes general references to shepherds in the three other Gospels, it is in only John where He calls Himself the good shepherd.

Answer: Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy 17:1 states no one should sacrifice to God a sheep, or a bull, with blemish or defeat. The verse in the NKJV states: "You shall not sacrifice to the LORD your God a bull or sheep which has any blemish or defect, for that is an abomination to the LORD your God."

It stands to reason such a command would be found in Deuteronomy as the book contains details about a variety of laws God gave Moses to hand down to the Israelites.
