What's the answer when you take the number of pieces

of silver Joseph's brothers sold him for and add on the
number of books addressed to Timothy in the New
Testament? (Genesis 37:28)

a. 22
b. 29
c. 32
d. 7
Answer: A. 22
The correct answer is twenty-two. According to Genesis 37:28, Joseph's
brothers received twenty shekels of silver when they sold him into slavery
while there are two books in the New Testament addressed to Timothy. Take
twenty and add two and you come up with twenty-two.

Although Joseph was sold into slavery and taken to Egypt and eventually
tossed into prison, he ascended to become the second most powerful man in
the land, surpassed by only the Pharaoh. His story is told in Genesis 37 to 50.

The New Testament books addressed to Timothy are First Timothy and
Second Timothy. They were both written by Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles.
2. What's the answer when you take the number of years
the Israelites wandered in the wilderness and multiply by
the number of times Jesus fed a multitude of people with
a pittance of food?

a. 92
b. 120
c. 80
d. 74
Answer: C. 80
The Israelites, according to Exodus 16:35, wandered in the wilderness for forty years while
Jesus fed a multitude of people with a pittance of food on two different occasions.

Details of Christ's first miracle involving the feeding a multitude of people can be found in
Matthew 14, Mark 6, Luke 9 and John 6 while details of the second miracle can be found in
Matthew 15 and Mark 8. In the first incident, Christ fed 5,000 men with five loaves and two
fish. In the second incident, He fed 4,000 men with seven loaves and a "few small fish".

Although Scripture says Jesus fed 5,000 men on the first occasion and 4,000 men on the
second, many theologians believe He fed a substantially larger number as the figures do not
include women and children. As per the custom of the day, woman and children were not
included in census figures. As a result, many theologians believe He fed 15,000 people on the
first occasion and 12,000 on the second occasion.
3. What's the answer when you take the number of books
in the Old Testament of the Protestant Bible and add on
the age of Jairus' daughter when Jesus raised her from the
dead?

a. 61
b. 76
c. 41
d. 51
Answer: D. 51
The correct answer is fifty-one. There are thirty-nine books in the Old
Testament of the Protestant Bible, and according to Mark 5:12, Jairus'
daughter was twelve years old when she was raised from the dead by
Jesus.
Add thirty-nine and twelve and you get fifty-one.
4. What's the answer when you take the number of
prisoners' dreams Joseph interpreted while in prison and
add on the number of churches mentioned in John's vision
in the Book of Revelation? (Genesis 40 and Revelation 2
and 3)

a. 11
b. 8
c. 9
d. 10
Answer: C. 9
According to Genesis 40, Joseph interpreted two prisoners' dreams while he was incarcerated. Meanwhile,
John's vision in the Book of Revelation involved seven churches. Take two and add on seven and you get nine.

Genesis 40 states Joseph successfully interpreted the dreams of the Pharaoh's butler and baker. His actions
eventually ended up with him being called upon to interpret dreams for the Pharaoh. Scripture states the
Pharaoh was so impressed with Joseph's accurate interpretations that he freed him from prison and made him
the second most powerful man in Egypt.

The visions John had for seven different churches are contained in Revelation 2 and 3. The churches were based
in Ephesus ('the loveless church'), Smyrna ('the persecuted church'), Pergamos (the compromising church'),
Thyatira ('the corrupt church'), Sardis ('the dead church'), Philadelphia ('the faithful church') and Laodicea ('the
lukewarm church'). Tradition holds Revelation was written by John, one of the original Twelve Disciples of Jesus.
However, some modern theologians dispute the belief.
5. What's the answer when you take Sarah's age at the
time of her death and subtract the number of the so-
called 'I Am Statements' by Jesus in John? (Genesis 23:1
and John 6:35, 8:12, 10:7, 10:11, 11:25, 14:6 and 15:1).

a. 99
b. 49
c. 120
d. 384
Answer: 120
Sarah, according to Genesis 23:1, was one hundred and twenty-seven years old when she died. Meanwhile Jesus
is quoted as making seven so-called 'I am Statements' in the Gospel of John. Take one hundred and twenty-
seven and subtract seven and you get one hundred and twenty.

The seven different I am statements made by Jesus in John are as follows:

1.) 'I am the bread of life' (6:35, 48).
2.) 'I am the light of the world' (8:12).
3.) 'I am the door' (10:7,9).
4.) 'I am the good shepherd' (10:11,14).
5.) 'I am the resurrection and the life' (11:25).
6.) 'I am the way the truth and the life' (14:6).
7.) 'I am the true vine' (15:1).
