New Testament Women Trivia Quiz

Answer: She was his second wife

Herodias' daughter from her first marriage performed a birthday dance for Herod that may or may not have been of a provocative nature, although extra-Biblical accounts of the dance certainly implied that it was.
She may or may not have been called Herodias herself, but that was her mother's name at least. Later in history she was referred to as Salome, but that name is not mentioned in the Bible.
Herodias, (the mother), after seeing that the dance pleased Herod, told her to ask for the head of John the Baptist, which he reluctantly acquiesced to.

Answer: Mary

Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, the latter of which Jesus had previously raised from the dead, anointed Jesus with a very costly perfume. When some of his disciples objected he told them "Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me."
That quotation may be found in the book of Mark, chapter 14.

Quotation from the King James Version

Answer: No name is given

The wife of Pontius Pilate was perhaps a bit superstitious and may have been a mystic as well. It is also quite possible that she knew a bit about the man Jesus from things that she had been told about him and it may also be that she simply had the courage to speak out against undue punishment for him.
There is only a short passage in the book of Matthew 27:19 regarding her, with very little information about her other than that of tradition.

Answer: Mary Magdalene, Mary; mother of James and Joanna

While these three women were mentioned by name this scripture also states that "and other women that were with them" also reported the empty tomb of Christ to his disciples.
Initially their reactions were of disbelief but Peter and another disciple that many think to have been John ran to the tomb to see for themselves.

Answer: Tabitha/Dorcas

Tabitha, also known as Dorcas was recorded in Acts 9 as being a very devout woman who enjoyed helping others.
When she died, the apostle Peter was summoned and he raised her from the dead.

Acts 9:36:43

Answer: Priscilla

Priscilla and Aquila were a husband and wife team who partnered with Paul the apostle as he preached. They and he were tent-makers or perhaps even workers in leather.

Paul lived, worked and traveled with them for approximately a year and a half while they worked with him in helping to spread the gospel. They were also instrumental in helping a novice evangelist named Apollos, helping him to understand the scriptures more fully. He was a Jewish Christian, who while being devoted to truth, only knew of the works of John the Baptist and they were able to explain the works of Christ to him more fully.

This resulted in his more informed approach to spreading the good news of Jesus to others.

Answer: Corinth

Phebe, as it is spelled in the King James Version, was arguably either a deacon or at least a devout servant of some sort in the early church. Apparently Paul was impressed enough with her work to recommend her highly to others, probably other Christians in Rome or possibly those in Ephesus.

Answer: Rhoda

John Mark was the man who wrote the book of Mark, and his mother was likely either the sister or aunt of Barnabas.
Rhoda was likely a servant of the household who knew Peter's voice as he knocked on the door of the gate and called out. She did not open the gate, but rather ran into the house where many were gathered in prayer and announced that Peter was outside. Peter himself was the reason for the "prayer meeting", as he had been been imprisoned by Herod.
The congregants accused her of being mad or balmy, but she kept insisting that it was indeed Peter. They relented somewhat, and some suggested that it was his ghost, presuming him to be dead already.
Finally, when they opened the door they were astonished to see that it was indeed Peter who stood there.

Answer: Eunice

Eunice was the mother of Timothy, while his grandmother's name was Lois. Paul speaks highly of both women in his second letter to Timothy, telling him that he knows of their faith and how they both were instrumental in guiding him and raising him correctly to follow Christ in the same manner of faith.

2nd Timothy 1:3 records Paul's words as he lauds all three; the grandmother Lois, the mother, Eunice and the son/grandson, Timothy.

Answer: Anna

Anna had been serving for a number of years in the temple and was able to see Jesus after his birth. She served in the temple with fasting and prayers daily as she awaited the birth of the Savior of the people.
When she finally was able to see him, she gave God thanks and told many others of faith that were looking for the redemption of Israel that he had arrived.

The second chapter of the book of Luke gives a brief overview of this encounter.
