Answer: gains

The missing word from Luke 9:25 is 'gains'. The famous verse quoting Jesus is from a passage in which Christ tells those around Him they need to take up the cross and follow Him. To put the verse in context, here's how Luke 9:23-25 reads in the NKJV: "Then He said to them all, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost'"?

The verse is part of a passage telling of Anna, an elderly woman who was a prophetess, seeing the Infant Jesus presented in the temple by Mary and Joseph. After seeing Jesus, the passage states Anna gave thanks to the Lord and "spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem."

For more details, see Luke 2:36-38.

After learning of a plot to kill Paul, authorities took every measure possible to ensure he would arrive safely in Antripatris.

Scripture tells of a detachment of two hundred soldiers, seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen accompanying Paul to Antipatris.

The missing word from Matthew 28:6 in the NKJV is 'risen'. Obviously the verse is in reference to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The verse is part of a passage telling of an angel informing a group of women who had visited Christ's tomb that He had risen and His body was no longer in the tomb. The passage goes on to tell of the women, which included Mary Magdalene "and the other Mary", running with "fear and great joy" to inform the disciples of the miraculous news.

For details, see Matthew 28:1-8.

Now take the last three letters of your answer to the previous question to start the answer for the missing word from John 5:24 in the NKJV: John 5:24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who ______ Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life."

Answer: sent

The missing word from John 5:24 in the NKJV in the NKJV is 'sent'. The verse is part of a passage stating life and judgment are through the Son. For more about Christ's teaching on this issue, see John 5:24-30.

Christ's teaching on life and judgment was given after He healed an unnamed man who had been paralyzed for thirty-eight years at the Pool of Bethsaida. The people, however, were livid with Jesus because He had healed the man on the Sabbath and He had stated God was His Father, "making Himself equal with God."

8. Now take the last three letters of your answer to the previous question to start the answer for the missing word from Genesis 12:11 in the NKJV: "And it came to pass, when he was close to _________ Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, 'Indeed I know that you are a woman of beautiful countenance."

Answer: entering

The missing letter from Genesis 12:11 is 'entering'. The verse is part of a passage telling of Abram and Sari, who would later become known as Abraham and Sarah, moving to Egypt in a time of famine. Although they were husband and wife, they pretended to be brother and sister.

The belief was that if Abram was known as Sarai's husband, he would be killed by the Pharaoh who would add her to his harem. As things worked out, Sarai was temporarily added to the Pharaoh's harem and Abram's life was spared. For details, see Genesis 12:10-20.

Answer: ingrained

The missing word from Leviticus 14:37-38 in the NKJV is 'ingrained'. (The NIV and the KJV both don't use the word 'ingrained'.) The verse is part of a passage announcing the rules for leprous houses. The passage runs from Leviticus 14:33-57.

Tradition holds the Book of Leviticus was written by Moses, the man who led the Israelites on a forty-year-long journey out of Egypt to Canaan, known as the Promised Land.
