Tough questions.

What happens if you got them all wrong?

8.) For how much was Joseph sold to the Ishmeelites?

10 pieces of silver
20 pieces of silver
30 pieces of silver
40 pieces of silver

Joseph was sold for 20 silver.

Gen.37:28 The midianite traders passed by and so the brothers pulled joseph up and lifted him out of the pit and sold him to the Ismaelites for twenty shekels of silver.

I'm currently still working on two of the answers but I found this to be a very interesting subject...It got me reading the word of our Lord and searching it which is a very blessed thing. thank you for posting this chad.

4. Money is the root of of all evil

5. Who did Jesus send fishing for taxes and this was Peter.

Nevertheless, lest we offend them go to the sea, cast in a hook and take the fish taht comes up first and when you have opened its mouth you will find a piece of money take that and give it to them for Me and you.

6.Who gave Delilah money to betray and find out the source of Samson's strength. This was the Lords of Philistines.

And the Lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, entice him and find out where his great strength lies and why what means we may over power him that we may bind him to efflict him and everyone of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.
