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.
- A.
  
  Dogs that belonged to the Israelites
- B.
  
  The lost sheep of the Israelites
- C.
  
  Anyone outside of the family of the Israelites
Correct Answer
C. 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.

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

Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.” ¹²Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the ______ of the Pharisees and Sadducees. -Matt 16:11
- A.
  
  Communion
- B.
  
  Yeast
- C.
  
  Teaching
Correct Answer
C. 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.

From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” ²⁶And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons ______. -Matt 17:25-26
- A.
  
  Should have to pay also
- B.
  
  Are free
- C.
  
  Have to pay even though it's not fair
Correct Answer
B. 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.

An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of _______.” -Matthew 16:4
- A.
  
  The blood red moons
- B.
  
  The Zodiak
- C.
  
  Jonah
Correct Answer
C. Jonah

Explanation
In this passage from Matthew 16:4, Jesus criticizes the people who constantly seek for signs as a demonstration of their lack of faith. He states that no sign will be given to them except the sign of Jonah. This refers to the story of Jonah in the Bible, where he was swallowed by a great fish and remained in its belly for three days and nights before being spit out. Jesus uses this reference to foreshadow his own death, burial, and resurrection after three days, indicating that this will be the ultimate sign for the people.
