Much of the New Testament is set in the period of time after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Many of these Scriptures were actually letters to early churches instructing them how to live.

1. Matthew
   Acts
2. Jude
   3 John

Maybe its author said everything they needed to say in 1 John or 2 John, but this much is sure: 3 John barely qualifies as a book at fewer than 300 total words. The book would be better qualified as a letter, since that's what it is.

1. Simeon
   Saul
2. Simon
   Samuel

Saul's conversion to Paul is an important component of the New Testament, and his experience on the road to Damascus is chronicled in Acts. Saul/Paul's brush with a light in the sky was actually Jesus himself.

The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with just two loaves of bread and five fishes is perhaps one of the most familiar stories in the New Testament. It illustrates one of the miracles He performed during His earthly ministry.

1. Simon, Nathaniel, Thomas and Judas
   Peter, Andrew, James and John
2. Judas, James, Matthew and Mark
   Thomas, Judas, Mattias and Paul

Of course, there may have been other disciples who enjoyed fishing, but these four -- Peter, Andrew, James and John -- were fishing when they were called to follow Christ.

1. English
   Greek
2. Hebrew
   Jewish

Though most people in Biblical times chose to speak in Aramaic, a Semitic language spoken in that region, the text of the Bible was originally written in Greek. It has since been translated into languages all over the world.

Described in Luke 3, Jesus' earthly ministry is believed to have started around his 30th year. It didn't last very long, however, since He was crucified just three years later.

1. Peter
   Mark
2. Thomas
   Matthew

Peter may have been testing Jesus when he asked Jesus to allow him to walk on water. His watery walk didn't last long, as he started to sink when he took his eyes off of Christ.

1. Money
   Fame
2. Lust
   Food

The Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil. This verse is often misquoted in popular culture to say that money itself is the root of all evil. The Bible makes a clear distinction.

1. By a king
   In a telegram
2. By her mother
   By an angel

The angel, Gabriel, visited Mary and told her that she would give birth to the Son of God. Similarly, an angel visited Joseph to also give him the news of the impending birth.

1. At a church
   On the cross
2. On a mountain
   In the desert

Jesus' first public sermon, known in the Bible as the Sermon on the Mount, occurred shortly after His baptism by John the Baptist and His return from the desert. He is followed onto the mountain by His disciples.

1. His mother
   Paul
2. Herod
   John the Baptist

Jesus' first miracle was at the request of his mother, Mary, at the wedding at Cana. When she discovered they had run out of wine, she mentions it aloud. Bible scholars believe she did this as a sign of her faith in Christ.

1. Matthew
   Corinthians
2. Acts
   Romans

The Book of Matthew illustrates the eight blessings, or Beatitudes, preached by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount. An incomplete list of those Beatitudes is also found in the Gospel of Luke.

1. Luke and Romans
   Luke and Mark
2. Luke and Acts
   Luke and Revelation

Luke's authorship in the New Testament is limited to the gospel titled with his own name and The Book of Acts. The Book of Acts talks a lot about the work of Peter and Paul after Jesus' ascension into Heaven.

1. The Recording
   The Annals
2. The Big Four
   The Gospels

The first four books of the New Testament are often referred to collectively as The Gospels. They share stories of the life of Jesus, with some -- like His birth and His death -- being found in multiple books.

1. In the Mississippi River
   In a church baptistry
2. In the River Jordan
   In the Sea of Galilee

John the Baptist had the honor of baptizing Jesus in the River Jordan, though not without a bit of a fight from John. John felt as though it was he who should be baptized by Jesus, but eventually relented and performed the act.

1. Gold
   Diamond
2. Steel
   Pearl

The description of the New Jerusalem, or Heaven, depicts gates made of pearl and streets made of gold. Perhaps even more impressive is that each gate is made from one giant pearl!

1. Manna
   Locusts
2. Sand
   Cacti

While in the desert, John dined on what the Bible calls "locusts and honey." Locusts would remind you of grasshoppers in their shape (and possibly taste?). Matthew 3 also says his garments were made of camel's hair.

1. To love God and love your neighbors
   To not commit murder and to love others
2. To love your neighbors and yourself
   To not covet and not worship false idols

When asked, Jesus stated that the two greatest commandments were to love God and to love your neighbor as yourself. From these two commandments, he continued, hang all the laws and prophets.

1. They're the same as the commandments.
   They were all written by Moses.
2. They're all about one topic.
   They all start with "Blessed are."

When Jesus delivered the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount, he started each with the words "Blessed are." He then continued to explain who would be blessed and what their reward would be.

1. The hem of her dress
   Her hair
2. Paper towels
   A special cloth

Jesus' anointing at Bethany shows both Mary's humility and her willingness to part with what was a very expensive gift in the ointment. Using her hair to wipe his feet was a symbol of her love for Him.

1. "Peace be unto you."
   "I must now go."
2. "You doubted me."
   "There is work left to do."

Spoken in the Upper Room following his resurrection but before his ascension, Jesus uttered the words, "Peace be unto you." One of his disciples, Thomas, refuses to believe it is Him until he sees the wounds from the crucifixion.

1. Bermuda
   Adria
2. Malta
   Sitra

Paul was on his way to Rome to face charges when the ship he was aboard was caught in a storm and later wrecked near Malta. Paul and the others aboard swam to shore, and the experience is chronicled in the Book of Acts.

1. Peter
   Stephen
2. Bartholomew
   Judas

Stephen's martyrdom came as a result of his Christian professions, which angered the Jewish religious leaders. As a result, he was taken from the city and stoned to death, becoming the first martyr of the Christian faith.

1. A handshake
   A hug
2. A kiss
   A point

Judas identified Jesus to the Roman officials seeking to put Him to death with a kiss, an intimate picture of betrayal. Judas later received 30 pieces of silver for his betrayal of his one-time friend.

1. Missionaries
   Preachers
2. Himself
   Christ

Paul is addressing how Christians should seek to live in the Book of Ephesians, telling them they should be followers or imitators of Christ, the only perfect, sinless example.

1. John the Baptist
   John the Apostle
2. John Mark
   John Jones

John the Baptist was a central figure in the New Testament, followed by John the Apostle, who authored five books in the Bible. John Mark accompanied Paul on his first travels as a missionary.

Paul is responsible for more than half of the books that make up the New Testament. Some people believe that number is actually smaller, but one thing is for certain: Paul dominates the content of this half of the Bible.

1. Yellow
   Blue
2. Brown
   White

The four horses are described as being red, white, black and pale. The horsemen are said to represent the ideas of famine, plague, war and conquest at the end days in the Book of Revelation.

1. Jesus
   End
2. Amen
   Peace

Revelation 22:21 delivers the final verse and word in the New Testament: " The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." The word "amen" is said to mean "so be it," making it a fitting conclusion.

1. Pilate
   Simon
2. Peter
   His mother

Simon of Cyrene was actually compelled by Roman authorities to help carry the cross of Jesus as he was carrying it to where He would be crucified. A soldier found Simon in the crowd of people who had gathered.

1. Religious leaders of the day
   Spies from King Herod
2. Visitors from the East
   Friends of Mary and Joseph

The Gospel of Matthew describes the three wise men as foreigners who were seeking baby Jesus to bestow gifts upon Him. These men – known by name as Gaspar, Balthasar and Melchior – were believed to be wealthy, influential figures from the East.

1. The sons of God
   The immortal gods
2. The Christian brothers
   The sons of thunder

In Mark 3, we learn of a special nickname that Jesus gave to James and John called "Boanerges," which means "sons of thunder." The pair are two of only three known in the Scriptures to have been given a special name by Jesus during His time on earth.

1. Their hand
   Their ear
2. Their tongue
   Their nose

Malchus was on the receiving end of Peter's temper in the garden just before Jesus was taken into custody by officials. He used a sword to cut of Malchus' ear in an attempt to thwart Jesus' arrest and eventual crucifixion. Jesus was able to mend the man's ear with just His hands!
