The correct answer is: Bread, meat, and water. According to the Bible, Elijah was a prophet who declared a drought upon the land of Israel as a result of the people's disobedience to God. During this time, Elijah was fed by ravens who brought him bread and meat in the morning and evening, and he drank from a nearby brook (1 Kings 17:2-6). Later on, when the brook dried up due to the drought, God instructed Elijah to go to a town called Zarephath, where a widow would provide for him. When Elijah found the widow, he asked her for some water and a piece of bread. The widow explained that she only had a handful of flour and a little oil, and that she was preparing to use them to make a final meal for herself and her son before they died of starvation. Despite this, Elijah instructed the widow to make him a small cake of bread with the flour and oil, and to then make a meal for herself and her son. The widow obeyed, and miraculously, her supply of flour and oil did not run out until the drought ended and rain fell upon the land (1 Kings 17:8-16). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Bread, meat, and water, as these are the foods that Elijah ate after declaring the drought upon the land of Israel. The other options do not accurately reflect the foods that Elijah ate during this time.

The name "Jezreel" represents the punishment to come unto the royal house. In the Old Testament, Jezreel was a city in Israel that became associated with God's judgment upon the ruling family of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel, due to their wickedness and disobedience. The prophet Hosea also named his son "Jezreel" as a symbolic act to indicate that God would soon punish the royal house of Israel for their sins, just as He had punished the house of Ahab in Jezreel. Therefore, the name "Jezreel" signifies divine judgment and punishment.

The accusation of blasphemy against Moses, the law and God was levied against Stephen. In the book of Acts in the New Testament of the Bible, Stephen was a man full of faith and wisdom who was chosen as one of the seven deacons to serve the needs of the community of believers in Jerusalem. However, he was also known for preaching about Jesus and performing miracles, which led to some people becoming jealous and angry with him. During a debate with some of these people, Stephen made a long speech in which he recounted the history of the Israelites and their relationship with God. He criticized the religious leaders for not following God's laws and for rejecting Jesus as the Messiah. This enraged the crowd, and they accused him of speaking blasphemous words against Moses, the law, and God. As a result of these accusations, Stephen was arrested and brought before the Jewish high council, where he continued to defend his beliefs. Eventually, he was stoned to death, becoming the first Christian martyr.

Jeremiah prophesied God's punishment of the Israelites because they had compromised their worship and turned away from God. The Israelites had abandoned their faith and turned to idolatry, worshiping false gods and engaging in other sinful practices. This behavior was in direct violation of God's commands, and Jeremiah warned the people that their disobedience would lead to punishment and exile. In addition, the Israelites had also trampled on the needy and committed other injustices, which further angered God and contributed to his decision to punish them. However, it was primarily their abandonment of true worship that led to Jeremiah's prophesies of punishment.

In St. Paul's epistle to the Romans in the New Testament of the Bible, he advises Christians not only to be law-abiding but also to do what is expected of them as responsible citizens. This means that Christians should be respectful of those in authority and their laws, and contribute positively to the society in which they live. St. Paul does not encourage Christians to provide moral advice to those in authority, shun membership of unlawful societies, or resist any illegitimate government. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of Christians fulfilling their civic responsibilities, such as paying taxes, showing respect to government officials, and being law-abiding citizens. By doing so, Christians can be good examples to others and promote the common good of the society in which they live.

St. Paul's teaching on 'New Life In Christ' is centered on the idea that believers should live a transformed life by turning away from their old ways and embracing a new way of living through faith in Jesus Christ. He advises Christians to dwell richly in the word of God, which is the source of spiritual nourishment and growth. By reading and meditating on the Scriptures, believers can gain a deeper understanding of God's will and purpose for their lives. Additionally, Paul encourages believers to pray for the grace of God, which is the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit that enables them to live a holy and righteous life. Finally, while Paul does not explicitly mention baptism, he emphasizes the importance of repentance and turning away from sin as part of the process of entering into a new life in Christ.

Herod Agrippa persecuted Peter primarily "to please the Jews." Herod Agrippa was a king of Judea who was known for his persecution of the early Christians, including the apostle Peter. According to the book of Acts in the New Testament, Herod arrested Peter and put him in prison with the intention of putting him on trial before the Jewish people. Herod's persecution of Peter was primarily motivated by his desire to appease the Jewish leaders and people, who were hostile towards the message of Jesus and the early Christian church. By putting Peter on trial and attempting to silence the spread of the gospel, Herod was trying to maintain his power and popularity among the Jewish people. In the end, however, Peter was miraculously freed from prison and continued to preach the gospel, despite Herod's efforts to stop him. This event serves as a testament to the power of God and the resilience of the early Christian church in the face of persecution.

Pilate's question to Jesus at his trial was "Are you the king of the Jews?" Pilate was the Roman governor of Judea who presided over the trial of Jesus. During the trial, Pilate asked Jesus if He was the king of the Jews, which was a political charge brought against Him by the religious leaders. This question was significant because it put Jesus in a difficult position, as claiming to be the king of the Jews would be seen as a challenge to the authority of the Roman Empire. In response to Pilate's question, Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world." This answer conveyed that Jesus was not a political or military leader, but rather a spiritual leader who came to offer salvation and eternal life to all who would believe in Him.

In this passage, St. Peter mentions Sarah, the wife of Abraham, as an example of a wife who honored her husband and obeyed God. Sarah is seen as a model of obedience and respect for all Christian wives. She is also a symbol of the faithful and obedient wife who is a source of blessing for her husband and her household.

God instructed Saul to utterly destroy Amalek because its people opposed the Israelites on the way after departing Egypt. In the Old Testament, the Amalekites were a people who attacked the Israelites in the wilderness after they had left Egypt, and continued to harass them throughout their journey. God's command to destroy the Amalekites was a punishment for their unprovoked aggression and hostility towards Israel. This command was given to Saul, the first king of Israel, who was expected to carry out God's judgment in obedience to His word. However, Saul failed to fully obey God's instructions, sparing the Amalekite king and some of the spoils of war, which ultimately led to his downfall. Therefore, God's command to destroy the Amalekites was a judgment for their opposition to His chosen people, the Israelites.

The person referred to in the statement is Jonah. The statement is a reference to the Biblical story of Jonah, who was a prophet in ancient Israel. In the story, Jonah was commanded by God to go to the city of Nineveh to preach against its wickedness. However, Jonah didn't want to do this and instead decided to flee on a ship to Tarshish. During the journey, a great storm arose, and the men on the ship became fearful for their lives. They eventually realized that Jonah was the cause of the storm because he was running away from God's command, and they threw him overboard to appease God. Jonah was then swallowed by a great fish, and after three days and nights, he was vomited onto the shore by the fish. Therefore, the phrase "For the men in the ship knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the Lord" refers to the realization of the sailors that Jonah was trying to escape from God's will, which caused the storm to come upon them.

St. Paul's epistle to the Philippians on "Christian Giving" indicated his reception of gifts from them through Epaphroditus. In his letter to the Philippians, Paul wrote about the importance of Christian giving and thanked the Philippians for their generosity in supporting his ministry. He mentioned that they had sent him gifts on several occasions, and he expressed his gratitude for their kindness. Paul specifically mentions in Philippians 4:18 that the Philippians' gifts were delivered to him by Epaphroditus, who was a member of the Philippian church and who had been sent by the Philippians to bring their gifts to Paul while he was in prison. In Philippians 2:25-30, Paul also spoke highly of Epaphroditus and praised him for his service to the church. Through these passages, it is clear that the gifts from the Philippians were delivered to Paul by Epaphroditus, who was a trusted member of the Philippian church and who had been sent specifically to deliver the gifts to Paul while he was in prison. This shows the close relationship between Paul and the Philippians and their commitment to supporting one another in their shared mission to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The correct answer is: Forty years. According to the Bible, after the children of Israel were freed from slavery in Egypt, they wandered in the wilderness for forty years before entering the Promised Land. During this time, the Lord provided them with food in the form of a substance called manna, which was described as being like coriander seed and tasting like honey (Exodus 16:31). The manna appeared on the ground each morning, and the Israelites were instructed to gather enough for their daily needs, with the exception of the day before the Sabbath, when they were to gather enough for two days (Exodus 16:4-5). The manna continued to appear every day for the entire forty-year period, until the Israelites reached the border of the Promised Land and were able to eat from the produce of the land (Joshua 5:12). Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Forty years. The other options do not accurately reflect the length of time that the Lord supplied the Israelites with manna in the wilderness.

The statement "I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities" is from the book of Amos in the Old Testament of the Bible. It means that God had taken away the people's food and made them go hungry, resulting in their teeth being clean because they had nothing to eat. In other words, the phrase "cleanness of teeth" is a metaphor for hunger and famine. The people had no food to eat, so their teeth were not being used for chewing, resulting in them being clean. This statement was part of a message from God to the people of Israel, warning them of the consequences of their disobedience and reminding them of His power and authority. Therefore, the answer to the question is "No food to eat."

In Matthew's account, John the Baptist's immediate reaction when Jesus came to be baptized was to ask that Jesus should rather baptize him. John the Baptist recognized Jesus as the Son of God and knew that he was not worthy to baptize Him. In Matthew 3:14-15, it says, "But John tried to deter him, saying, 'I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?' Jesus replied, 'Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.'" By asking Jesus to baptize him instead, John was acknowledging the authority of Jesus and the superiority of His divine status. Jesus' response also shows that it was necessary for Him to be baptized to fulfill all righteousness, which was the plan of God. Therefore, John's immediate reaction was to recognize and submit to Jesus' authority and to fulfill God's plan for righteousness.

According to Jeremiah, the Lord's new covenant will be made with the "house of Israel and the house of Judah." The prophet Jeremiah lived during a time when the kingdom of Israel was divided into two parts, the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. In Jeremiah 31:31-34, he speaks of a new covenant that the Lord will make with the people of Israel and Judah, in which He promises to write His laws on their hearts and to be their God. This new covenant is seen as a fulfillment of the promises made by God to His people and as a renewal of the relationship between God and His people. It is also seen as a symbol of the restoration of the unity of the people of Israel and Judah and the reunification of the kingdom. In the New Testament, Christians believe that this new covenant was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who through His death and resurrection established a new covenant between God and humanity. Through faith in Jesus, people can be reconciled to God and become part of the new covenant community.

The correct answer is "Joel." Peter was speaking to the crowd on the day of Pentecost, after the Holy Spirit had come upon the disciples and they were speaking in tongues. Some people in the crowd accused the disciples of being drunk, but Peter explained that this was not the case. Instead, he pointed to the prophecy of Joel, which said that in the last days, God would pour out His Spirit on all people, and they would prophesy and speak in tongues. So, Peter was using the prophecy of Joel to show that the events of that day were not a result of drunkenness, but were the fulfillment of God's promise to pour out His Spirit on all people. This was a powerful way for Peter to refute the accusations against the disciples and to show that what was happening was a work of God, not the result of any human effort. In summary, Peter referenced the prophecy of Joel to show that the events of that day were a fulfillment of God's promise and not a result of drunkenness.

Paul taught that spiritual gifts in all their varieties emanate from the one Spirit of God. In 1 Corinthians 12:4-11, Paul emphasizes that the gifts of the Spirit come from the same source, which is God. He also notes that there are different varieties of gifts, but they all come from the same Spirit. The gifts are given for the common good of the church, to build up the body of Christ. Paul emphasizes that no one gift is more important than another and that they are all necessary for the functioning of the church as a whole. He stresses the unity of the body of Christ and how each member of the church has a unique role to play. Therefore, Paul's teaching emphasizes that spiritual gifts come from the one Spirit of God and are given for the benefit of the entire church, reflecting God's diversity and unity.
