How does this Bible quiz work?

This quiz mixes questions from all parts of Scripture: the Law and the history books, the Psalms and Proverbs, the prophets, the Gospels, Acts and the letters. It starts with easy questions and ends with hard ones, so beginners and longtime readers can both play.

Every answer comes with the Bible verse it is based on, quoted from the King James Version. That way the quiz is also a short Bible study: when you miss a question, you can read the passage and remember it next time. As Paul wrote, all scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine (2 Timothy 3:16), and the Bereans searched the scriptures daily (Acts 17:11). For a quiz on one book or one person, pick one of the quizzes below.
