The Answer Is Either True or False -- #8 Quiz

Answer: False

False. While Joseph had eleven brothers, he had only one named sister, Dinah, according to Scripture. There seem to have been more (Genesis 37:35 refers to sons and daughters, although some scholars consider that word to refer to what we would call daughters-in-law), but they are not named. Asenath was Joseph's wife. She was the daughter of Poti-Pherah, priest of On. Joseph and Asenath were the parents of two boys -- Manasseh and Ephraim.

Answer: False

True. The Gospel of Luke is the only book in the Christian Bible which tells of the Parable of the Good Samaritan. A number of other parables are found in only Luke, with some of the titles being the Parable of the Prodigal Son, The Rich Man and Lazarus, The Faithful Servant and the Evil Servant and the Great Supper.

Answer: True

True. Going strictly by Scripture, Peter was the only one of the original Twelve Disciples who was married. It is known Peter was married because Matthew 8:14 tells of Jesus healing his mother-in-law who was sick in bed with a fever. There is no indication any of the other disciples were married, although it is possible.

Indeed, In 1 Corinthians Paul refers to their right to be married, but none are identified explicitly as being married except Peter. However, with the question being based on "going strictly by Scripture", the correct answer has to be true.

Answer: True

True. Two of the original Twelve Disciples were called James. The most prominent James was the brother of John. Acts 12:1-2 states James was executed by Herod, making him the first of the Twelve Disciples to die a martyr.

The second James is known as James the Lesser. However, little is known about James the Lesser, although Mark 15:40 states that his mother's name was Mary.

While the writer's name is known, there is some dispute about the exact identity of John. Tradition holds he was one of the original Twelve Disciples, but some modern-day theologians believe the writer was another man called John.
