Millionaire Style Bible Quiz 2

Answer: Matthew

Matthew was a tax collector. See Matthew 9:9-12. The calling of Andrew, James and Peter can be found in Matthew 4:18-22. It is clear from this passage that they were all fishermen.

Answer: they walked across

See Joshua 3. As soon as the priests set foot in the water, God parted the waves, so that all the Israelites could cross on dry land.

Answer: Peter

John 13:9. In this passage Jesus sets his followers a wonderful example of serving each other.

Answer: 5

See 1 Samuel 17:40. Although David picked up 5 stones, he only used one, as he knocked down Goliath with his first shot (verse 49). He then cut off Goliath's head.

Answer: Rachel

See Genesis 35:24. Rachel is one of several women in the Bible who was unable to bear children initially and of whom it is said that God granted their desire. See Genesis 30:1-2 and 22-24. Childlessness in the Old Testament was considered to be a sign of God's displeasure.

Answer: Egypt

Exodus 20:1. This is the beginning of the passage where the 10 commandments are quoted. God began by reminding the Israelites who He is and what He had done for them.

Answer: True

See Genesis 25:24-5. This is why Rebecca had to cover Jacob's arm with animal hair in order to deceive his father into thinking that he was Esau (Genesis 27:1-40). In this way, Jacob received the blessing from his father which was due to the oldest son.

Answer: 77

See Matthew 18:22. Some versions translate this as 70 x 7. I think Jesus is really telling us not to keep a score of how many times we forgive someone, as most of us would lose count before we got to 77, and still less remember up to 490!

Answer: Simon

See Mark 1:29-31. This was before Jesus gave Simon the name Peter (Matthew 16:13-20).

Answer: Peter's angel

The servant girl recognized Peter's voice, but did not open the door to him (verse 14). Because they had not seen him, the others found it hard to believe that God had answered their prayers in such a dramatic way.

Answer: Dorcas

See Acts 9:36-42. God raised this lady from the dead through Peter's prayers.

Answer: Jeremiah

See Jeremiah Chapter 18.

Answer: No one knows for certain

Unlike many of the New Testament letters, no one is named as the author in the introduction. In fact, the author launches into his subject without any form of greeting, which is unusual. Several people, such as Paul or Timothy, have been suggested as possible authors. It is unlikely to have been Timothy as he is mentioned in the third person in Hebrews 13:23.

When I was a student 30 years ago, one of the jokes then current was that the author must have been a woman, because only a woman could say that she had written a short letter, when it was 13 chapters long! (See Hebrews 13:22.)

Of course, the original Greek manuscript would not have had been divided into chapters and verses, but that is not the point.

Answer: Vashti

See Esther 2:17. Esther was Jewish, but she hid her nationality from the king and he chose her for her great beauty after Vashti had displeased him by refusing to appear before him when he summoned her (Esther 1:10-21).

Bigthana and Teresh are two of the palace guards mentioned in Chapter 2 and Abihail was Esther's father (2:15).

Answer: 75

See Genesis 12:1-4. It is a wonderful encouragement to those of us who have grey hair to see all that God did through Abraham in his later years.
