    1. 6
    2. 7
    3. 8
    4. 5
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    John records exactly seven 'I am' statements: bread of life (6:35), light of the world (8:12), the gate (10:9), the good shepherd (10:11), the resurrection and the life (11:25), the way, the truth, and the life (14:6), and the true vine (15:1).
  2. 2 Who was the high priest who presided over Jesus' trial before the Sanhedrin?

    1. Annas
    2. Caiaphas
    3. Herod Antipas
    4. Pontius Pilate
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    Caiaphas was the official high priest who interrogated Jesus and handed him over to Pilate (Matthew 26:57-68; John 18:13-14). Annas, his father-in-law, had previously questioned Jesus but was not the sitting high priest.
  3. 3 Which disciple asked Jesus, 'Lord, show us the Father, and that will be enough for us'?

    1. Philip
    2. Thomas
    3. Andrew
    4. Judas (not Iscariot)
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    Philip made this request in John 14:8. Jesus responded, 'Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father' (John 14:9).
  4. 4 In the Parable of the Sower, what do the thorns represent?

    1. Lack of root in themselves
    2. The devil snatching away the word
    3. The worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth
    4. Persecution because of the word
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    Jesus explains in Matthew 13:22: 'The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful.'
  5. 5 After His resurrection, how many times did Jesus ask Peter, 'Do you love me?'

    1. Once
    2. Twice
    3. Three times
    4. Four times
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    John 21:15-17 records Jesus asking Peter three times, mirroring Peter’s three denials. Each time, Jesus instructs him to 'Feed my lambs/sheep.'
  6. 6 What was the name of the high priest's servant whose ear Peter cut off?

    1. Malchus
    2. Jairus
    3. Namaan
    4. Abdiel
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    John 18:10 uniquely names him: 'Simon Peter... struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.)'
  7. 7 Which city did Jesus say would be 'brought down to Hades' (hell) because of its unbelief?

    1. Chorazin
    2. Bethsaida
    3. Capernaum
    4. Nazareth
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    In Matthew 11:23-24, Jesus declares, 'And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades.' Capernaum witnessed many miracles yet rejected him.
  8. 8 What was the name of the Roman centurion whose servant Jesus healed from a distance?

    1. Cornelius
    2. Claudius
    3. Marcus
    4. The Bible does not give his name
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    Neither Matthew 8:5-13 nor Luke 7:1-10 gives the centurion’s name. He is praised for his great faith, but the Bible does not record his name.
  9. 9 How many days after Jesus' birth did Mary and Joseph present him at the temple in Jerusalem?

    1. 8 days
    2. 30 days
    3. 40 days
    4. 7 days
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    According to Leviticus 12:2-4, a woman was ceremonially unclean for 40 days after giving birth to a son. Luke 2:22-24 describes the presentation 'when the time came for the purification rites required by the Law of Moses.'
  10. 10 Which Old Testament prophet did Jesus say was 'killed between the temple and the altar'?

    1. Isaiah
    2. Jeremiah
    3. Zechariah (son of Jehoiada)
    4. Elijah
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    Matthew 23:35: '...from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Jehoiada, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.' This refers to 2 Chronicles 24:20-22.
  11. 11 What was the name of the blind man Jesus healed at Bethsaida?

    1. Bartimaeus
    2. Silas
    3. The Bible does not record his name
    4. Timaeus
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    Mark 8:22-26 records the healing of a blind man at Bethsaida. Unlike Bartimaeus (Mark 10:46), this man is never named — the text simply says 'some people brought a blind man.'
  12. 12 Which commandment did Jesus cite as the 'first and greatest' when asked by a Pharisee?

    1. Love your neighbor as yourself
    2. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind
    3. Honor your father and mother
    4. You shall not murder
    Correct!
    Wrong!

    Explanation

    Matthew 22:37-38: Jesus replied, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. (Quoting Deuteronomy 6:5.)
