      3 "About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. 4 He told them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.' 5 So they went.
      "He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing. 6 About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, 'Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?'
      7 "'Because no one has hired us,' they answered.
      "He said to them, 'You also go and work in my vineyard.'
      8 "When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.'
      9 "The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius. 10 So when those came who were hired first, they expected to receive more. But each one of them also received a denarius. 11 When they received it, they began to grumble against the landowner. 12 'These men who were hired last worked only one hour,' they said, 'and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day.'
      13 "But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? 14 Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. 15 Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
      16 "So the last will be first, and the first will be last."
      The New International Version, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House) 1984.

      There were twelve hours of daylight in which to work so there would also be twelve hours of night, for a total of twenty-four hours in a day.

      3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)
      The New International Version, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House) 1984.

      Jesus was raised from the dead on the first day of the week which is Sunday.

    1. 600,000.
    2. 800,000.
    3. 1,000,000.
    4. Right Answer!More than a million.

      These were the men counted by Moses and Aaron and the twelve leaders of Israel, each one representing his family. 45 All the Israelites twenty years old or more who were able to serve in Israel's army were counted according to their families. 46 The total number was 603,550.
      The New International Version, (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Publishing House) 1984.

      This 603,550 does not include any of the women, children or old people, so the total number that left Egypt was in excess of a million.

     

     

  6. Approximately how many years does the Bible cover? (from Adam until everything is accomplished.)
    1. 15 billion years.
    2. Right Answer!7,000 years.
    3. 6,000 years.
    4. 4,000years.

      If you total up all of the time from Adam to Christ it is about 4,000 years. It has been about 2,000 years from Christ until now, and we have just about 1,000 years left. So the total time span of the Bible is about 7,000 years. This does not mean that the earth is 7,000 years old. It only means that God's plan, that is, from Adam to the end is 7,000 years. However long things went on before Adam is not important regarding the biblical story.
