Who is considered the 13th apostle to replace Judas Iscariot?

• Joseph

• John Mark

• Mathias

• Judas

• None of the above

Answer explanation

Matthias the Apostle was one of the twelve main disciples of Jesus Christ. He’s the only disciple who wasn’t personally called by Jesus. Instead, the other disciples chose him to replace Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus and died shortly after Jesus was crucified.

Matthias is only mentioned by name in Acts 1:23 and Acts 1:26, but from that point on, whenever the Twelve apostles are referred to collectively, he’s with them. Beyond these two mentions in Acts, the New Testament tells us nothing about him. However, we do know that he met the requirements Peter established for replacing Judas: he’d followed Jesus since his baptism by John the Baptist, and he witnessed Jesus’ ascension to heaven (Acts 1:21-22).

What type of insect did John the Baptist eat in the desert?

• bees

• beetle

• Locusts

• ants

Answer explanation

he Bible tell us about the diet of John the Baptist, “Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey” (Matthew 3:4).

According to the above verse and Mark 1:6, the diet of John the Baptist consisted of “locusts and wild honey.” Whether the Gospel writers meant that John ate nothing else, or only that these constituted his main diet, is not given. Some suggest that “locusts and wild honey” were considered to be the distinguishing diet of a prophet, even as “raiment of camel’s hair, and a leather girdle” marked him a successor to the ancient prophets.

Who recognized Jesus as the Messiah when he was presented at the Temple as a baby? 

• John the Baptist

• Joseph

• Simeon

• Mary Magdalene

Answer explanation

Luke 2:22-38 When Jesus was about a month old, Mary and Joseph brought him to the Temple in Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. For it was written in the law of the Lord, “Every first-born male born shall be consecrated to the Lord. And a sacrifice of two turtle doves shall be offered.” There was a man in Jerusalem named Simeon. He was righteous and devout. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he would see the Messiah before he died. He was in the Temple when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus. Simeon took Jesus into his arms and blessed God, saying:

“Now, God, you may let your servant die in peace. My eyes have seen your savior, a light for the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel.”

 

Mary and Joseph were amazed at what Simeon said about Jesus. Then Simeon blessed Jesus’ parents, and said to Mary, “This child is God’s Promised One. He will save God’s people. Many will accept him and others will not.”

There was also a prophetess, Anna. She was an eighty-four year old widow. She never left the Temple. She prayed and fasted day and night. When she saw Jesus, she gave thanks to God. Then she told everyone that the Messiah had come.
