Quiz about The Disciple Philip Fill Up with Some Trivia

The Disciple Philip -- Fill Up with Some Trivia Quiz

Philip was one of the 12 disciples, but for the most part served in the background. However, there is much to learn about the so-called quiet, introverted disciple who was sometimes slow at understanding things. (The NIV was used for this quiz.)

Question 7 of 10

7. John 6: 1-15 tells of Jesus feeding 5,000 men with five loaves of bread and two small fish. In verse five, Jesus asks the disciples where they could buy enough bread to feed the crowd, to test their faith. Philip, however, shows amazement at the question. What does Philip say in response to Christ's question? Hint

Eight month's wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite.

It will require several hundred volunteers to go and get the bread and carry it back.

There is no business that would be able to supply such a large order on short notice.

In addition to buying lots of bread, they would have to buy lots of fish. It is impossible.

Question 8 of 10

What does Philip say in verse 8 in response to Christ's statement? Hint

Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.

Your statement is confusing. I don't know of what you speak.

Your father is Joseph the carpenter and your mother is Mary.

How can we possibly come to the Father through you?

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. John 1: 44 tells where Philip was born. What's the name of the town?

Answer: Bethsaida

In addition to coming from Bethsaida, Philip was a Jew with a Greek name. The only other disciple to have a Greek name was Andrew.

2. John 1: 44 also tells of two other disciples, who were brothers coming from the same town as Philip. What are the names of the brothers?

Answer: Peter and Andrew

The correct answer is Peter and Andrew. James and John were also brothers, but Matthew and Judas, as well as Thomas and Thaddaeus, were not siblings.

Answer: John

Yes, John is the correct answer. In Matthew, Mark and Luke, the name Philip is used only one time in each book. However, in John his name is used 11 times.

Answer: fifth

Philip's name is always fifth whenever a list of the disciples' names appears. He wasn't part of the inner circle like Peter, James and John, but Philip certainly wasn't as quiet and timid as some people might think.

5. John 1: 43-50 tells of Philip recruiting a man to become a disciple of Jesus. What's the name of this man, who at first had his doubts about Jesus being the Messiah?

Answer: Nathanael

The correct answer is Nathanael. When Philip tells him he has found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, Nathanael is not impressed because Jesus is from Nazareth. Verse 46 states: "'Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?' Nathanael asked. 'Come and see,' said Philip."

6. John 12: 20-22 tells of Philip being approached by a group of Gentiles from Greece wanting to meet with Jesus. What other disciple did Philip seek out to help lead the Gentiles to Christ?

Answer: Andrew

Scripture states Philip sought out Andrew to help lead the Gentiles to Christ. As stated in the answer to Question Number 1, Philip and Andrew are the only two disciples with Greek names. However, some theologians suspect Philip may have been able to speak Greek and if this was the case, it would've made sense for the Greeks to approach Philip to lead them to Christ.

Answer: Eight month's wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite.

The correct answer is "eight month's wages would not buy enough bread for each one to have a bite." Philip's statement helps put Christ's miracle into perspective. Incidentally, theologians believe 15,000 people were fed by Jesus with the five loaves and the two fish as the figure of 5,000 only included men. As per the custom of the day, women and children were not listed in the number.

Answer: Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.

The correct answer is "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us." In the following verses, Jesus chides Philip for his lack of belief. Verses 9 to 11 state: "Jesus answered: 'Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves'."

9. Where does the conversation take place when Jesus tells Thomas and Philip in John 14: 6 that he is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father but through him?

Answer: The Last Supper

The correct answer is the Last Supper. A substantial portion of the Gospel of John is devoted to the Last Supper, followed by Christ's arrest in the Garden of Gethesmane and his crucifixion.

Answer: Matthias

Matthias was picked as the replacement for Judas, but there is no other documentation in the Bible about his actions. The suicide of Judas is reported in Matthew 27:5.
