About This Quiz

Guess you’ll be able to distinguish your sons of Zebedee from your doubting man without flipping through the Gospels like a cram student? Sunday-school whispers need to be traded for lightning-round recall tonight.

Twelve portraits pop up like old yearbook pictures: a fisherman there, a tax collector somewhere, a notorious treasurer rattling silver in the corner. Recognize them before the choir sings out the end of one verse, and you’ll prove your biblical rolodex remains razor-sharp.

Get full marks and you’ll feel as jubilant as Peter when he walks on the water; confuse Bartholomew with Philip and you’ll hear a cock crow for your recollection three agonizing times.
