Who wrote these words in the second century? “The Christians, you know, worship a man to this day—the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites and was crucified on that account.

The Bible states Jehoram reigned for eight years. Therefore, Jehoram (the father) died at the age of 40. Ahaziah (the son) was 42 years old when he started his reign. Father died at age 40. The son takes over at age 42. This means that the son is two years older than his father. This situation presents a paradox and is clearly the result of a mistranslation or misunderstanding by the translators.

There are many intriguing and fascinating Bible people and famous characters. Learn the stories of the biblical personalities. Popular Bible People and Bible Characters Discover fascinating and captivating facts and trivia about Bible persons. Here are Bible trivia, truth, facts, and information about Bible characters. Links to more information about a particular Bible Character are underlined. Jesus, the Son of God. The most popular Bible person is Jesus the Messiah, often referred to as Jesus Christ. However, the person being referred to is not Jesus Christ. Actually, it's "Jesus the Christ." Christ is a title, not a name. Other titles for Jesus are Messiah, Lamb of God, Anointed One, Lord, and Master. His names are Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth, and Jesus, Son of Joseph. The title of Christ comes from the Greek text χριστός and is translated as chrīstós , meaning the "anointed one." The native language of Jesus was Aramaic with a Galilean accent. Jesus would also have spoken Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, as these were languages spoken in temples, synagogues, politics, and economic trade during His time. Jesus would have encountered and spoken in these languages. Jesus would have conversed in these languages. Was Jesus always liked? The truth is that towns literally and physically threw Jesus out on several occasions. On one occasion, Jesus read a scroll and spoke at a synagogue in his hometown of Nazareth. The members of the synagogue did not like what Jesus said. They took Jesus by force up to the brow of a hill and were going to throw him over the cliff. However, before they could push him over, Jesus just turned and walked away through the crowd. Luke 4:20-29 At a nearby graveyard, many bodies were resurrected at the moment of Jesus' death. The earth's tremors cracked open many tombs and graves as Jesus died. Those exposed immediately rose from the dead and entered Jerusalem for all to see. Matthew 27:45-56 Let's begin with some Bible trivia about Jesus' miracle of raising a young girl from the dead. Jairus was a synagogue leader and begged Jesus to heal his 12-year-old daughter. Luke 8:40-56 A miracle happened at a funeral procession near the gate of the village of Nain. Jesus and the disciples came upon a funeral procession at the gate. They had compassion for the widow and raised her only son from the dead. Luke 7 Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. Jesus washed the feet of the disciples at the "Last Supper" as a symbolic gesture. John 13:1-12 Jesus cast out seven demons from Mary Magdalene. Mary was of Jewish culture and from the fishing village of Magdala on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee. She became a devoted follower of Jesus and was present at his crucifixion and burial. Mary traveled with Jesus and was wealthy enough to help support his ministry. She was probably part of the "inner circle" of the closest disciples to Jesus. Mary was the first one to see Jesus after His resurrection. Most likely, she died in 100 AD. Many historians and scholars suggest she may have had an intimate relationship with Jesus. Some suggest they may have been married. The Bible does not support that belief. Luke 8:1-3 Jesus did not walk alone on the water at the Sea of Galilee. His disciples went ahead of him on a boat, while He stayed behind and prayed. Jesus walked on water to reach the boat, which was close to shore. When the disciples saw Jesus in the distance, they thought He was a ghost. Jesus called Peter, and Peter got out of the boat and started walking on water toward Jesus. But Peter got scared and started to sink. Jesus had to save Peter and famously said, "You of little faith." It was quite an event! Matthew 14:22-33 The Bible contains facts about many resurrected individuals. Lazarus, who was Jesus' best friend, is probably the most famous. The family of Lazarus was upset with Jesus because He showed up four days after Lazarus had died. Jesus wept when he saw the sight of Lazarus' grieving family and felt remorse for them. The shortest verse in the Bible is " Jesus wept. " John 11:32-36 There are other ancient sources of facts in the first century AD, besides the Bible, that tell of the existence of Jesus. Tacitus, a Roman historian, wrote about Nero blaming Jesus's followers for burning down the city of Rome. Pliny the Younger, a Roman, speaks of the followers of Jesus and their culture. Josephus, the Jewish historian, wrote about Jesus and James, his brother. The Babylonian Talmud speaks of the crucifixion of Jesus. Lucian of Samosata, a Greek satirist, wrote about the Christians and the crucifixion of their leader, Jesus. Those who wish to Google "Christians" can find the writings of many others. Salvation is through Jesus. Jesus will save you from burning in Hell's eternal fire and allow you to enter the safety of Heaven. The general theme of the Bible supports this prediction over and over again. This message from Jesus is known as the "Good News." The Bible provides us with the truth about how to enter Heaven and avoid Hell. 1. Admit that you are a sinner. Romans 3:23; 10:9-10 2. Realize that sinners are separated from God and go to Hell. Revelation 21:8 3. Believe Jesus Christ died on the cross to save you from sin and life in Hell. Romans 5:8 ; John 3:16 4. Recognize your sin in prayer before God and ask for forgiveness. Acts 3:19 5. Turn from your old life to a newer life of following God's instructions and commands. 2 Corinthians 5:17 6. Upon doing the above, receive the free and graceful gift of God's salvation through your faith in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8 Where or what is Hell? There is some confusion regarding the nature and location of Hell. Many believe hell is on Earth, underground. Others believe it is a metaphysical place in an unknown physical reality. Some believe it to be Hades, a valley in the Middle East. It is now dormant but will be revived. One thing everyone seems to believe is that Hell is a physical place of fire and brimstone that never stops. Sinful people will spend eternity there with their souls, in continuous pain from the heat. Good and Bad Non-believers will spend eternity there with their souls in continuous pain from the heat. Non-believers will be sent there, and their souls will literally be burned up and cease to exist. Hell is an unknown physical place where people spend eternity away from the presence of God. Some believe that the soul "lies at rest in Hell's grave for eternity." Others believe Hell is a temporary place of punishment where purification takes place. Check out these biblical facts about the Bible character Moses. Moses was a Hebrew prophet, teacher, and leader. He is among the most important prophets in Christianity. Moses is called the lawgiver because God physically gave the Ten Commandments to him. He was born in the Land of Goshen and died on Mount Nebo in Jordan. Jochebed was his mother, and Amram was his father. He had an older brother, Aaron , and an older sister, Miriam. Zipporah, a Midianite, was his first wife. The Bible also mentions that he was later married to an unnamed Cushite. His children were Gershom and Eliezer. Moses was saved from certain death. During the time that Moses was born, the Israelites were slaves in Egypt. The pharaoh worried that the growing Hebrew population would revolt and seize control. To control the population, Pharaoh ordered the killing of all newborn Hebrew boys. Moses was born several months premature. Jochebed hid her son Moses for several months until it became noticeable that her child was born. She decided to put him in a floating basket and allow him to float down the river in hopes that the royal family would find him and take care of him. The plan worked, as Pharaoh's daughter was bathing in the Nile River when the basket floated by. Moses was three months old when Pharaoh's daughter adopted Moses and raised him as royalty. He was highly educated, a warrior, and a leader among the Egyptians. Moses committed murder. One day, Moses took a walk to where his people (the Hebrews) were working to observe what was going on. He saw a taskmaster beat a slave and became extremely upset. Moses had a quick temper, which was considered one of his flaws. In a fit of anger, Moses killed the Egyptian taskmaster and buried him in the sand. Unfortunately, witnesses saw what he had done. Fearing for his life, Moses quickly departed from Egypt on the lam and ended up in Midian. Upon arriving in Midian, he met a group of young girls tending sheep. The short story is that he ended up marrying Zipporah, one of the girls, and working for her father, Reuel. Exodus 2:11-22 Moses communicated with a burning bush. He had a new life as a sheepherder for Reuel, the father of his wife. Moses was peacefully tending his father-in-law's flock when God arrived. There was a job that God wanted Moses to perform. God appeared as a burning bush at the base of Mount Horeb (the mountain of God) and laid out His plan for Moses. Of course, Moses, being who he was, argued with God. Moses was not interested in God's plan and didn't feel qualified to do what God requested. He argued with God! Can you imagine? Moses didn't want to do what God wanted. Moses made up many excuses, including the fact that he had a speech impediment. God said that Aaron, his brother, would be Moses' spokesperson. After the conversation with God, Moses finally agreed to be His spokesperson. God probably already knew the type of man He was dealing with in Moses. The plan was for Moses to lead the Israelite slaves out of Egypt to the promised land of milk and honey in Canaan. This period was known as the Great Exodus. Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and to the borders of the promised land of Canaan. He confronted Pharaoh, who refused to "let thy people go!" Through Moses, God dealt out 10 plagues upon Egypt. The last one was the death of all firstborn males regardless of age. Finally, the Egyptian people revolted against the Pharaoh, and they said, "Let those people go!" The mass of slaves led by Moses reached the Red Sea and encamped there. Pharaoh changed his mind and sent all of his chariots after the slaves to bring them back. Moses spread his arms, causing the Red Sea to part, allowing the slaves to escape through it. The slaves crossed; the Egyptian chariots followed and were in the parted sea, which collapsed and killed them. Some bad things happened during the trek to the promised land of milk and honey in Canaan. The people constantly complained, which ultimately upset God, and God made the Israelites walk around in the desert for 40 years until all the people who complained died off. Korah rebelled against Moses, and God caused the earth to open up and swallow Korah and his followers. Moses' sister, Miriam, challenged Moses for leadership, and God gave her leprosy. She was healed after learning her lesson. Moses frequently became frustrated due to the misbehavior of the Israelites he was leading. He received the two tablets of the Ten Commandments that God gave him. Moses brought them down from the mountain after speaking with God. When he arrived at the encampment, he saw everyone worshiping a golden calf idol. Moses was infuriated and threw the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments to the ground, shattering them. This act was deeply disappointing to God. Moses had to return to the mountain to receive a second set of tablets. I can't imagine that conversation. On another occasion, the Israelites complained about being thirsty. God instructed Moses to go to Hajar Musa, where there would be water. Moses was instructed to speak to the rock there, and it would then release water. Again, Moses' anger got the better of him. When Moses arrived at the rock, he yelled, "Here's your dang water, you miserable unbelievers," and smacked the rock hard with his walking stick. Water gushed forth. Moses was commanded to communicate with the rock, not to strike it in anger. As a result of his anger management issues, God forbade Moses from entering the Promised Land. God allowed Moses to see Canaan from the top of Mount Nebo, but he was not allowed to enter it. Shortly after, Moses died there and was buried somewhere in an unknown spot in the Nebo Valley. Many other Bible figures have intriguing stories to tell. Below are some of the most popular Bible characters. Jonah A messenger of God used a fish for transport. God had a preaching job for Jonah. Jonah did not want to do the job, so Jonah tried to run away from God in a boat to Tarshish in Spain. God caused a massive storm around the boat, forcing Jonah to jump overboard. God sent a big fish after Jonah. The fish swallowed Jonah and carried him to Nineveh. Upon arrival, the fish spat Jonah up on the beach. The fish was most likely a mammal, a whale, not a fish. Read about the story in the Book of Jonah in chapter one. Take this Bible class on Jonah. Balaam In the Bible, an animal talked. Balaam was riding his donkey, and the donkey stopped and spoke to him. A spiritual being was in front of the donkey, blocking the way. The donkey wouldn't move, so Balaam beat the donkey. At that moment, the donkey turned its head and asked Balaam, "What have I done to deserve your beating?" Here are the facts about the talking donkey! Numbers 22:21-39 Stephen These are the facts of the synagogue, which falsely testified against a disciple they disapproved of. Stephen became the first Christian martyr. Jesus chose seven disciples with genuine faith to minister "The Word" to the world. These seven were Stephen, Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas. The apostles laid hands upon them to sanctify them. Stephen, filled with faith and power, performed numerous miracles and signs among the people. Stephen was very outspoken, more so than the other six. He greatly disturbed those who had religious power. The Bible facts show that elders and scribes approached him, seized him, and brought him to the council. They sentenced Stephen for "speaking blasphemous words" and then stoned him to death in the public area. Read the whole story about Stephen. Acts 6:1-15 Judas The story of Judas tells of a man who "sold out" the Messiah for 30 pieces of silver. Thirty silver pieces was the usual amount paid for the purchase of a slave. This amount was an insult given by the "church authorities," based on what they thought about Jesus. Jesus was only worth the cost of a slave. Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, betrayed Jesus by leading the riotous religious leaders to Him. He was the treasurer of the apostles and may have been motivated by greed. Judas was also from the South and looked upon as an outsider, which he may have resented. At the Last Supper, Jesus identified Judas as a betrayer by dipping bread into a dish and giving it to him. Judas led the hateful and vengeful religious "authorities" and identified Jesus by kissing Him on the cheek. After everything had taken place, Judas regretted his actions and gave the money back to the church leaders. The leaders refused the "blood money" and used it to purchase a potter's field. Judas died afterward in that field. The Bible does not provide clear details about the circumstances of his death. One belief is that tradition states Judas Iscariot was so upset that he hung himself. Matthew 27:3-8 Another belief is that Judas went into a field and exploded, with his guts gushing forth. Perhaps this means he threw up or had a severe case of diarrhea. Acts 1:16-20 Perhaps he hung himself, the rope came loose, he fell to the ground, and God gushed his bowels. Read this analysis of the death of Judas. Elijah A prophet is whisked away into heaven in a fiery chariot. God called Elijah to a pickup site on the other side of the Jordan River and took him alive to Heaven. This was a previous prophecy that came true. All those present at the time knew of this prophecy except Elisha. Elisha learned about the prophecy at the last moment as he accompanied Elijah to the pickup. Elijah, Elisha, and fifty other sons of the prophets gathered at the River Jordan. Elijah parted the river. Elisha and Elijah crossed over to the far side. Fifty people stayed on the near side, watching. The chariot came. As Elijah climbed aboard, he dropped his robe. The river parted open again when his robe struck the water. Elisha picked up the coat and crossed back through the parted water to the near side, meeting with the fifty onlookers. Was it a chariot that took Elijah? 2 Kings 2:1-14 Elijah raised the son of the widow of Zarephath from death. At the gate, Elijah spotted Zarephath and asked her for water. He ended up boarding at her house. Some time later, her son got sick and eventually died. Elijah raised the boy after he died. 1 Kings 17:17-24 Elisha This passage is a little-known piece of Bible trivia about a prophet who caused bears to maul a group of young men. Elijah's apprentice, Elisha, assumed leadership after Elijah's ascension to heaven. A large group of undisciplined teenagers (brats) teased Elisha about his baldness. Elisha could not hold his anger and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Instantly, two female bears came out of the woods and mauled 42 of the boys. Bears are attacking the children 2 Kings 2:23-25 Elisha raised the son of a Shunammite woman. He had stayed at this woman's home years earlier and prayed for her to have a son. Her son was born, and several years later, the son died. The woman called upon Elisha, and he came and raised the boy from his dead bed. 2 Kings 4:8-37 Elisha resurrected an Israelite man during his funeral, a fascinating piece of Bible trivia. Gravediggers were burying a man when they became startled by invaders. They were scared and wanted to depart as quickly as possible. Hastily, they threw the man's body into a nearby tomb. This tomb belonged to the tomb of Elisha. If you didn't know, Elisha's dead body was lying in the tomb. The dead man immediately came back to life when his body made contact with Elisha's bones. 2 Kings 13:20-21 Paul A fun Bible story recounts how Paul raised a young man during a sermon. Paul was giving a long-winded sermon late into the night. Eutychus was sitting on a windowsill, dozed off, and f ell out of the window to his death below. Paul had to go down and revive the young man. Acts 20:7 Peter Peter resurrected Dorcas of Joppa. Dorcas was a well-known social worker who helped everyone. Peter was also well-known, and he was nearby. The family called Peter to the room where Dorcas lay. Peter raised her from the dead. Acts 9:23-43 J acob He believed he wrestled with God. "Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him until daybreak." This unknown wrestler was unable to win the wrestling match. The wrestler made contact with Jacob's hip, causing it to become dislocated. After the match, the wrestler said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob." When Jacob asked for the stranger's name, the stranger responded, "You have struggled with God and men and won, so your name will be Israel.” Genesis 32:22-31 Samson The feats of Samson are remarkable. Samson didn't like the Philistines. He killed a lion that came from nowhere when he was traveling to visit his soon-to-be Philistine wife. Judges 14:5–9 To celebrate his marriage, Samson killed 30 Philistines, a rather unconventional way to mark the occasion. Judges 14:19 Samson set the tails of foxes on fire, and this action resulted in the burning of t he Philistines' crops. Judges 15:4-6 Because they burned his wife and her father to death, Samson killed the Philistines . Judges 15:7-8 Samson killed 1,000 Philistines with the jaw of a jackass when they came for revenge for the above. Judges 15:14-17 When he found out the good citizens were plotting to kill him, Samson tore down the gates of the city and their posts. Judges 16:1-3 Samson snapped apart 16 bowstrings that Delilah bound him with. Judges 16:6-8 He also snapped apart the strong rope that Delilah bound him with. Judges 10:12 David Was David the one who killed Goliath? 1 Samuel says, Yes. 2 Samuel says, No. Please review these Bible books to make your own decision.

These Bible characters were the twelve original apostles of Jesus. Simon: Peter was prominent in the Bible and served as the leader of the Apostles. He was Andrew's brother and the son of Jonah. Peter had an unknown wife, and Jesus healed his mother-in-law. Simon was also known as Peter or Simon Peter, and he was sometimes referred to as Cephas. His brother Andrew was the first that Jesus called, and Peter was second. Peter was the first disciple to profess Jesus as the Son of God. Perhaps this is why he was considered the senior Apostle and leader of the group. However, despite his faith, Simon Peter denied knowing Jesus three times during the Passion of Christ. Peter was very enthusiastic but also very impatient and impulsive and was often rash and brash. During the arrest of Jesus, he cut off the ear of one of those who came to capture Him. He is considered the "Rock" and the first "Pope" by the Catholic Church. It is believed that Saint Peter started the first two churches, one at Antioch and one in Rome. Tradition states that Peter died upside down on a cross in Rome. Andrew: He was Peter's brother and the son of Jonah. Andrew worked as a fisherman alongside Peter. He was first a follower of John the Baptist before being the first called to service by Jesus. Andrew was crucified on an X-shaped cross in Patras, Greece. John: John's parents were Zebedee and Salome. He was also the brother of James. John was sometimes referred to as the beloved disciple. Jesus found John at the seashore. He is thought to have been a fisherman with his brother James. They most likely worked for their father, who was a fisherman. John is believed to be the only Apostle to die of natural causes and outlived all the other Apostles. James: James' parents were Zebedee and Salome. He was also the brother of John. James was sometimes referred to as James the Elder or James the Great. Jesus referred to John and James as the sons of Thunder. James was believed to be the first Apostle killed as a martyr. Herod had James killed by sword around 44 AD. Philip: He was the fifth one called. Phillip was with Jesus during the feeding of the 5,000. There is some controversy about Philip's life and death. Eusebius, an early church historian, presents background on Phillip. Philip's life is revealed in Wikipedia . Bartholomew: He also went by the name Nathaniel. Tradition holds that they flayed him before beheading him. As with other Apostles, Bartholomew's death is a mystery with several traditional explanations. Wikipedia tells of Bartholomew. Matthew: He was a tax collector. Matthew rebuked King Hirtacus for lusting over a young girl. The king had Matthew killed. Thomas: He was the one who saw the resurrected Jesus. Thomas doubted that it was Jesus until he saw the scars on the hands. James: He was the son of Alphaeus. James is believed to have spread the gospel to Persia and was martyred there. Simon the Zealot: He is believed to have evangelized in Egypt. Simon partnered with Judas, the brother of Jesus, on the missions. Thaddeus: The son of James. James was also called Judas. Tradition asserts that he was crucified in Edessa, the location of his church. Judas Iscariot: This Bible character betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin.

That's why he had to trek back up the mountain a second time to ask God to make a second set. Can you imagine that conversation? Exodus chapters 31-33 What sea did Moses part with his staff? Moses parted the Red Sea with his staff, providing a path for the Israelites to cross over. After the Israelites passed through the sea and were safe on the other side, Moses closed the waters. Exodus 15 How old was Moses when he died? Moses was 120 years old when he died. He died on the 7th day of the month of Adar. Moses died on the same day as his birthday. He climbed Mount Nebo so that he could see the promised land. God would not allow Moses to enter the promised land because he disobeyed His commands. Deuteronomy 34 Where was Moses buried? Moses died on Mount Nebo, but God buried him in the Moab Valley with an unmarked grave. Deuteronomy 34:5-8 Who was Moses' successor who took over for him after he died? Joshua assumed leadership of the Israelite clan after God relieved Moses of the responsibility. Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land. God forbade Moses from leading the Israelites across the border and into Canaan. It was God's way of reprimanding Moses for his anger management issue. Deuteronomy 34 How did the Egyptian army fail in its attempt to recapture Moses and the slaves? The Egyptian army that followed the Israelites drowned. Moses parted the sea, and after the army entered it, the sea fell back to normal, and the soldiers drowned. Exodus 15:19 How many plagues did God inflict on Egypt before the Pharaoh let the people go? Moses warned Pharaoh that God would inflict ten plagues on Egypt. Pharaoh refused to let the people go after each warning until the final one . The Nile turned into blood, and they were plagued by frogs, gnats, flies, livestock pestilence, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of their firstborn.
