2. {$200} Which of these books is not in the Old Testament?

3. {$300} Who was released from prison after interpreting a Pharaoh's dreams?

Answer: Joseph

See Genesis 41. Whilst in prison, he had also interpreted dreams for a baker and a cup-bearer. These came true, with the baker being executed and the cup-bearer being released and restored to his post. He promised to get Joseph released because of his help, but he forgot until Pharaoh had a dream that no one could interpret.

4. {$500} God so __________ the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes in Him should not die but have eternal life. (NIV)

Answer: loved

John 3:16, possibly the best known verse in the Bible.

See Genesis 25:19-26. They were rivals from the time they were in the womb.

6. {$2,000} Who preached the first sermon on the Day of Pentecost?

7. {$4,000} Who said of Jesus: 'Do whatever he tells you.'? (NIV)

Answer: Mary (his mother)

8. {$8,000} 'Do not let your hearts be __________. Trust in God; trust also in Me.' (NIV)

Answer: troubled

John 14:1. Jesus said this just after he had told the disciples that he would be tried and killed by the Jewish leaders.

Answer: 10

10. {$32,000} According to the Gospel of John, how many baskets of leftovers were gathered up after the feeding of the five thousand?

Answer: 12

See John 6:1-13. This passage mentions 5,000 men being fed at one time, but it is likely that there were more people than this, as the women and children would not have been counted.

11. {$64,000} Ruth was King David's grandmother.

Answer: False

Answer: Ichabod

Ichabod was the grandson of Eli, the high priest. See 1 Samuel 1. Jacob had twelve sons, whose names can be found in Genesis 30 amongst many other places in the Old Testament. Because their names were given to the twelve tribes of Israel, their names also appear in many other places in the Old Testament.

13. {$250,000} In the book of Ruth, who said she should be called 'bitter' instead of 'pleasant'?

Answer: Naomi

See Ruth 1:20-1 The name Naomi means 'pleasant' and the name Mara means 'bitter'.

14. {$500,000} In his letter to the Galatians, whom did Paul criticise for hypocrisy in his attitude towards Jews and Gentiles?

Answer: Peter

See Galatians 2:11-21. This passage emphasizes the importance of not imposing unnecessary customs and rules on believers. Faith is more important.

15. {$1,000,000} Which lame relative of Saul did David invite to eat at his table?

Answer: Mephibosheth

See 2 Samuel 9. Mephibosheth was Jonathan's son, and David wanted to show kindness to someone from Saul's family. Absalom and Adonijah were two of David's sons.
