    • Be forgiven

    • Repent

    • Die

    Correct Answer
    A. Die
    Explanation
    In this passage, Jesus is questioning the religious leaders about why they prioritize their traditions over the commandments of God. He then refers to the commandment that says to honor one's father and mother. Jesus implies that whoever reviles or speaks disrespectfully of their father or mother must surely face the consequence of death. Therefore, the correct answer is "die."

    “O you of little faith, why are you discussing among yourselves the fact that you have no bread? 9 Do you not yet perceive it? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 10 Or the seven loaves for the four thousand, and how many baskets you gathered? 11 How is it that you fail to understand that I did not speak about ______? Matt 15:8-11

    • Bread

    • Water

    • The Message from God

    Correct Answer
    A. Bread
    Explanation
    In this passage, Jesus questions his disciples about their lack of faith and understanding. He reminds them of the miracles he performed with the five loaves and the seven loaves, feeding thousands of people. By mentioning these miracles, Jesus is implying that he did not speak about the physical bread they were discussing, but rather about something deeper and more meaningful. Therefore, the correct answer is "the Message from God," indicating that Jesus was speaking about spiritual matters rather than their physical needs.

    • Communion

    • Yeast

    • Teaching

    Correct Answer
    A. Teaching
    Explanation
    In this passage, Jesus warns his disciples to beware of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees, not the physical leaven of bread. The term "leaven" is used metaphorically here to represent the influence and teachings of these religious leaders. Jesus is cautioning his disciples to be discerning and not to be swayed or influenced by their false teachings and hypocrisy.

    In Matthew 15:22-28, who did Jesus refer to as dogs, saying that it was not right to give the children's bread to the dogs.

    • Dogs that belonged to the Israelites

    • The lost sheep of the Israelites

    • Anyone outside of the family of the Israelites

    Correct Answer
    A. Anyone outside of the family of the Israelites
    Explanation
    In Matthew 15:22-28, Jesus referred to anyone outside of the family of the Israelites as dogs when a Canaanite woman approached him for help. Initially, Jesus stated that his mission was to the lost sheep of the Israelites, implying that his focus was primarily on the Jewish people. However, the woman persisted in her faith, and Jesus commended her for her great faith and granted her request. This interaction highlights Jesus' initial intent to prioritize his ministry to the Israelites but also demonstrates his willingness to extend his grace and blessings to those outside of the Jewish community.

    In vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of _____.’” -Matt 15:9

    • God

    • Men

    • Satan

    Correct Answer
    A. Men
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "men." In this verse, Jesus criticizes the religious leaders for their empty worship and for teaching human traditions as if they were commandments from God. He emphasizes that true worship should be centered on God's commandments rather than the teachings of men.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” 26 And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons ______.  -Matt 17:25-26

    • Should have to pay also

    • Are free

    • Have to pay even though it's not fair

    Correct Answer
    A. Are free
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "are free." In this passage, Jesus is questioning whether kings take toll or tax from their own sons or from others. When the person responds that kings take toll or tax from others, Jesus then concludes that if the sons of the kings are exempt from paying, then they are free from this obligation. The implication is that the sons of kings are not subject to the same taxation as others.
