    Whom did Jesus meet at the well in Samaria?

    • A Samaritan woman

    • A Pharisee

    • A tax collector

    • A Roman soldier

    Correct Answer
    A. A Samaritan woman
    Explanation
    The encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well, which takes place in John 4, is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it breaks cultural norms, as Jews typically avoided Samaritans. Secondly, it highlights Jesus' role in offering salvation to all people, not just the Jews. This narrative illustrates a profound theological shift, emphasizing personal faith and worship in "spirit and truth" over traditional Jewish worship practices, thereby expanding the scope of salvation beyond ethnic and geographic boundaries.

    • Healing a blind man 

    • Walking on water 

    • Turning water into wine 

    • Raising Lazarus from the dead

    Explanation
    In John 2:1-11, Jesus attends a wedding feast in Cana of Galilee where the wine runs out. His mother, Mary, asks him to intervene, and Jesus performs his first miracle by turning water into wine. This act not only saves the wedding celebration but also reveals Jesus' divine power and foreshadows his role as the provider of spiritual abundance.

    • Turning water into wine

    • Healing a blind man

    • Feeding 5000

    • Walking on water

    Correct Answer
    A. Turning water into wine
    Explanation
    The turning of water into wine at the Cana wedding is documented as Jesus’ first miracle in the Gospel of John, establishing His divine authority early in His ministry. This miracle not only serves a practical purpose at the wedding but symbolically represents the new covenant Jesus will establish, replacing the old purification laws with His transformative grace, thus setting the theological tone for His earthly mission.

    What did Jesus say He could destroy and raise in three days?

    • The temple

    • The city

    • The Roman empire

    • His house

    Correct Answer
    A. The temple
    Explanation
    Jesus’ claim that He could destroy the temple and raise it in three days, discussed in John 2:19, metaphorically refers to His body as the temple. This statement foretells His resurrection, highlighting His power over life and death and asserting His divine authority. The temple, central to Jewish worship, is redefined through Jesus as He embodies the new meeting place between God and man, thus recalibrating the locus of religious life from a physical to a spiritual realm.

    What does Jesus say we must be born of to see the kingdom of God?

    • Water and the Spirit

    • Fire and water

    • Earth and sky

    • Bread and wine

    Correct Answer
    A. Water and the Spirit
    Explanation
    In John 3, Jesus’ discussion about being "born of water and the Spirit" introduces a foundational Christian doctrine—the necessity of spiritual rebirth for entering the kingdom of God. Water symbolizes cleansing and renewal, while the Spirit signifies divine life. This dual requirement underscores the transformation from a state of spiritual death to one of spiritual life, emphasizing the holistic change required for salvation, involving both external purification and internal spiritual renewal.

    Who is described as 'the Lamb of God' in John 1?

    • Jesus

    • John the Baptist

    • Peter

    • Judas

    Correct Answer
    A. Jesus
    Explanation
    John the Baptist declares Jesus as "the Lamb of God" in John 1. This title is rich in biblical imagery, referencing the sacrificial lamb of the Old Testament, particularly the Passover lamb, symbolizing deliverance and salvation. It prophesies Jesus’ role in the ultimate sacrifice for humanity's sins, encapsulating the mission of Christ to take away the sin of the world through His sacrificial death, thus fulfilling the law and the prophets.

    • His disciples

    • The Pharisees

    • The crowds

    • His family

    Correct Answer
    A. His disciples
    Explanation
    Jesus first reveals His glory to His disciples during the miracle at Cana (John 2), where His transformation of water into wine not only demonstrates His divine authority but also deepens His disciples' faith in Him. This moment is pivotal as it marks the beginning of His public ministry and the disciples’ recognition of His messianic identity, reinforcing the theme of belief through witnessing God’s glory manifested in Christ.

    How many fish were caught in the net after Jesus' instruction in John 5?

    • 153

    • 120

    • 100

    • 72

    Correct Answer
    A. 153
    Explanation
    In John 21, though not within the first five chapters but linking to the thematic continuity of Jesus’ ministry, the miraculous catch of 153 fish symbolizes the abundance and effectiveness of divine intervention when following Jesus’ instructions. This specific number, while enigmatic, has been subject to various interpretations, often viewed as symbolically significant in numerology or as encompassing the known species of fish, representing the universal scope of the gospel.

    How does Jesus describe Himself in relation to the Father in John 5?

    • Equal to the Father

    • A servant of the Father

    • Lesser than the Father

    • Unrelated to the Father

    Correct Answer
    A. Equal to the Father
    Explanation
    In John 5, Jesus describes His relationship with the Father as one of equality, asserting that He can do nothing by Himself but only what He sees the Father doing. This complex relationship emphasizes both the distinctiveness and unity within the Trinity. Jesus acts as the visible, present work of the Father on earth, mirroring His actions and intentions perfectly, which underscores a fundamental aspect of Trinitarian doctrine, reflecting the divine will and character through His actions.
