Answers, Easter Bible Quiz

Answers to the 20 questions found in an earlier Blog post:

1. Passover (Luke 22:1)

2. A young donkey (Matthew 21:1-7; Mark 11:1-7; Luke 19:28-35; John 12:12-15). In eastern tradition it was customary for a king going to war to ride a horse. Yet when the king was at peace he would ride a donkey. The symbolism is the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ, was coming for purposes of peace between God and man.

3. When Jesus entered into Jerusalem at the beginning of the Passion week, the people welcomed Him as king and Messiah. They covered the road with their garments and palm fronds as a symbol of their worship and acceptance of Him as king (Matthew 21:8; Mark 11:8; Luke 19:35, 36; John 12:12, 13).

4. Peter (John 18:10)

5. Malchus (John 18:10)

6. Three times (Luke 22:54-57; Mark 14:69, 70; Matthew 26:73-75; John 18:13-27)

7.  30 (Matthew 26:15)

8. By giving Him a kiss (Matthew 26:47-49).

9. Hanged himself (Matthew 27:3-5)

10. Bought the potter’s field with the money which is where strangers were buried (Matthew 27:6-8).

11. Barabbas (Matthew 27:15-26; Mark 15:6-15; Luke 23:18; John 18:40)

12. To leave Jesus alone because He was a just man. She had a bad dream concerning the Lord and she probably felt it would bring bad luck on the household of Pilate (Matthew 27:19).

13. Alexander and Rufus (Mark 15:21)

14. “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews” (Luke 19:19). It was written in three different languages according to John 19:20; Hebrew, Greek and Latin.

15.“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

“Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43)

“…he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother!” (John 19:26, 27)

“Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34)

“I thirst.” (John 19:28)

“It is finished:” (John 19:30)

“Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit:” (Luke 23:46)

16.“Truly this was the Son of God” (Matthew 27:54). Slightly different statements, but the same idea are found in Mark 15:39; Luke 23:47.

17. The veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom (Matthew 27:51). We call this access to God the “priesthood of the believer.” This means that Christians can approach God’s throne through prayer without the need of a human mediator or priest. Because the veil was torn from the top to the bottom, that is symbolic that it is God who grants us access and not that we have worked our way into God’s throne room; which could be implied if the veil was torn from bottom to top.

18. Three hours (Matthew 27:45; Mark 15:33; Luke 23:44-45). From noon to 3 pm.

19. Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus (John 19:38-42). Interestingly, these two men did not follow Jesus as He traveled through the region, but they were there when all the outspoken disciples had abandoned the Lord.

20. Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9)
