Bible character emoji quiz: rounds 2 and 4

Thirty of the puzzles are people. Round 2 has the Old Testament: a coat, a rainbow and a sleep mark for Joseph. Round 4 has the New Testament: a tree, a pair of eyes and a money bag for Zacchaeus. Start from, under the row, opens either round.

Bible stories in rounds 1 and 3

Round 1 runs from the creation to Jonah, and Round 3 holds the Gospels, parables included. Each round has easy rows and hard ones. One of the hard rows is a candle, a basket and a cross mark.

  • Say the pictures aloud. Most stand for a thing named in the verse, and the reason says which.

Questions and answers

Where are the Bible emoji quiz answers?

Each answer shows the moment you tap a choice, with its reason and verse. All 60 rows are also listed lower on this page with their answers.

Can I print the Bible emoji quiz?

Yes. After a set of ten, Print lists those rows: add more, then print them with lettered choices. A tick on With answer key there adds each answer and its verse.

Do the emoji look the same on every phone?

No. Your phone draws the pictures, so a basket or a cricket looks a little different on each make. Every row keeps to the Unicode emoji list of 2019, so no picture is newer than that.

Which Bible do the answers follow?

The King James Version, which is in the public domain. Names and quoted words follow it, and each reason gives the book, chapter and verse the pictures were drawn from.

How this list was compiled: Own work: 60 picture puzzles written for this site, 15 in each of four rounds; nothing was copied from another quiz or list. Every answer is a story or a person of the Bible, and each reason names the chapter and verse the pictures were drawn from. The quoted words were matched on 2026-10-08 against that verse in the King James Version (the standard text of 1769, public domain) as published at ebible.org (https://ebible.org/eng-kjv/). Names and quoted words follow the King James text, and other translations word many of these verses differently. A picture stands for a word of the verse (a cricket for the locusts, a horse for the beast of the Samaritan); the giraffes of the ark stand for the animals, which Genesis does not list. No puzzle turns on doctrine or on one church's teaching, and no row repeats a row of the site's other emoji quizzes. Every emoji is a fully-qualified emoji of Emoji 12.0, checked against the Unicode Consortium's list (https://unicode.org/Public/emoji/12.0/emoji-test.txt), read on 2026-10-08. Levels are our own estimate. Licence: own work
