Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of these biblical characters recorded the phrase "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth"?

Answer: Matthew

Matthew records these words, spoken by Jesus, in his gospel (Matthew 5, verse 38). They were taken from the original laws given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai, and are found in Exodus 21, verses 23 - 25. This states "And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe."

Answer: during the last supper

These words are found in the gospel of John, chapter 15, verse 13. It was at the last supper that Jesus washed the feet of his disciples, and Judas Iscariot left the scene to betray Jesus. The American President George W. Bush quoted this verse during his D-Day tribute to the American soldiers who died at Omaha and Utah beaches during World II.

Answer: Isaiah

These exact words are quoted from Isaiah 40, verse 4. Handel's "Messiah" contains quotations from various parts of the Bible.

4. Who said "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord"?

Answer: John the Baptist

These words are recorded in John 1, verse 23. John the Baptist said them when he was asked by priests and Levites who he was. He in turn was quoting the prophet Isaiah who said very similar words (Isaiah 40, verse 3).

5. Paul wrote "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak". To whom did he write these words?

Answer: the Corinthians

Paul was giving the Corinthians guidance on many religious issues when he wrote these words which are found in 1 Corinthians 14, verse 34. Verses such as this must be taken in the context of the time they were written, and do not necessarily imply that women should be silent in modern churches.

Answer: Luke

This quotation which is found in Luke 6, verse 29 is part of a sermon made by Jesus to his disciples and a multitude of other people who had travelled from all over Jerusalem, Judaea, Tyre, and Sidon. A similar quotation, with slightly different wording, is found in Matthew 5, verse 39.

7. Who wrote with obvious passion that he was "of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee"?

Answer: Paul

Paul makes this interesting statement in his letter to the Philipians (Philipians 3, verse 5). At other times he claimed to be a Roman citizen, for instance in Acts 16, verses 37 - 38.

8. The prodigal son, on returning home said "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son". In which book of the Bible is this parable found?

Answer: Luke

This statement comes from the parable of the prodigal son, one of many parables told by Jesus. The parable is found in Luke 15, and although it is quite well known, the term 'prodigal son' is not actually used.

9. "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH" was written on a woman's forehead. Where does the account of this vision appear?

Answer: Revelation

The Book of Revelation is probably the most symbolic book of the Bible, dealing as it does with the last days of mankind. The woman with these words on her forehead was clothed in purple and scarlet, adorned with gold and jewels, and riding on a scarlet beast which had seven heads. The words are found in Revelation 17, verse 5.

Answer: Hebrew, Greek, and Latin

The quotation is found in John 19, verse 19. Similar quotes with slightly different wording can be found in Luke 23, verse 38, and Matthew 27, verse 37, but only Luke and John state the languages of the inscription. Pilate was governor - or prefect - of Judaea from 26 a.d. to 36 a.d. during the latter part of the reign of Tiberias.

He disagreed with the crucifixion of Jesus, but bowed to the Jews' demands and handed him over, symbolically washing his hands of the affair.
