Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which apostle had a friend who, when first told about Jesus, replied, "Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?"

Answer: Philip

John 1:46 is where you will find this information. Philip had reported to Nathanael the good he knew about Jesus of Nazareth. Philip became one of the twelve disciples Jesus chose (Mark 3:13-19).

2. In Matthew 4:19, Jesus tells Peter and John that he will make them "fishers of men".

Answer: False

It was Peter and his brother Andrew, not John. They left their fishing nets and immediately followed Jesus.

3. Who was the treasurer of the disciples?

Answer: Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot was the treasurer of the group. John 12:6 says of Judas, "he had the bag", and again, John 13:29 declares "Judas had the bag", indicating he was the treasurer of the original twelve disciples. In the Holy Bible, his name is often followed with the phrase, "which also betrayed Him". (Judas was accused of stealing by the brethren.)

4. What vision convinced Peter to spread the gospel among the Gentiles?

Answer: Animals on a sheet

This is found in Acts 10:9-28. A voice in the vision told him to eat of animals he unconsidered unclean, but the voice insisted, "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common." This happened three times in the vision and convinced Peter to preach the gospel to the Gentiles.

5. According to Matthew, what occured at both the death and resurrection of Jesus?

Answer: An earthquake

We find this in Matthew 27:51, 28:2.

6. Jesus surnamed the two sons of Zebedee "sons of thunder".

Answer: True

Mark 3:17 records that Jesus called James and John "The sons of thunder" or "Boanerges."

7. Of the twelve apostles, ______ was the one in the book of Acts who spoke on the prophecy of Joel with boldness.

Answer: Peter

Acts 2:14-36 records this sermon by Peter. Joel 2:28-32 predicts the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days and says that "whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved". Peter quoted this scripture and then proceeded to tell the people about the works and resurrection of Jesus.

8. To which disciple did Jesus say, "I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me"?

Answer: Thomas

John 14:5-6 records Jesus's answer to the question of Thomas, "Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?"

9. In the garden of Gethsemane, John, Peter and James watched while Jesus prayed.

Answer: False

Mark 14:32-42 is one of four places in the Bible that records the agony in the garden. The three chosen disciples fell asleep while Jesus prayed three times. He was betrayed by Judas immediately afterwards with a kiss. (The scene is also found in Luke 22:39-46, Matthew 26:36-46 and John 18:1-2)

10. Who referred to himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved"?

Answer: John

We find this phrase throughout the book of John.
