Test your New Testament knowledge

I like those five legged guardians.

Hey, I added a question to my last post. I'm guessin' it's easy for you.

OK. Which of the following is from the New Testament:

A: Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up the road, some youths came from the city and mocked him, and said to him, “Go up, you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!” So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.
B: And the shapes of the locusts were like unto horses prepared unto battle; and on their heads were as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men. And they had hair as the hair of women, and their teeth were as of lions.
C:And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly: And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.
D: In those days as well as later when the sons of the gods had intercourse with the daughters of mortals and children were born to them, the Nephilim were on the earth; they were the heroes of old, people of renown.

Yeah, that is a bit easy; the answer is B (it's the woe of the 5th trumpet in Revelation chapter 9); A is from 1 Kings (one of Elijah's most famous smitings), C is from Judges (Ehud's assassination of Eglon king of Moab), and D is from Genesis 6 (the introduction of the flood narrative).

C: Acts
D: Romans

In terms of chapters, or actual text? Matthew and Acts have 28 chapters, Mark and Romans have 16.

Total text I guess, King James version(?) I think. I read it was Acts that was longest.

Which of the following raised-from-the-dead people, was not raised from the dead in the New Testament?
A. Dorcus
B. Eutychus
C. Jairus' daughter
D. Shunamite's son

It had to be either Matthew or Acts (both 28 chapters long), and I would guess Acts in either English or Greek.

Which of the following raised-from-the-dead people, was not raised form the dead in the New Testament?
A. Dorcus
B. Eutychus
C. Jairus' daughter
D. Shunamite's son

Another easy one; D, the Shunamite's woman was raised by Elijah. Dorcas was raised by Peter in Acts, Eutychus was raised by Paul in Acts (after he famously fell asleep and toppled out of a window due to Paul speaking at length), and Jairus' daughter was raised by Jesus in the gospels (can't remember which, but at least in Mark).

Interesting. How many people did Jesus raise from the dead in the gospels? I only remember Lazarus.

Oh, thanks -- I hadn't had time to read the whole thread yet.

Who said as God as my witness if you say that one more friggin' time I'm going to crown you?
