How this list was compiled

Written for this site by the editors; nothing was copied from another quiz or list. Each answer was read on 2026-10-02 at the verse named beside it in the King James Version (the standard text of 1769, public domain) as published at ebible.org (https://ebible.org/eng-kjv/), and the same verse was read in the World English Bible (public domain, https://ebible.org/eng-web/). Names and quoted words follow the King James text, and other translations word many of these verses differently; some reasons add the World English Bible's word for a name or an old word. Only what the text says is asked: no question turns on doctrine, on one church's teaching or on the date of an event. The two accounts of the birth and the events of the last week in Jerusalem, from the entry to the empty tomb, are left to their own packs; sayings taught in that week are asked here. Levels are an editor's judgment. A second reader compared every answer with the same verses in both texts on 2026-10-03. Licence: own work
