(The answers to the following may be multiple, or "none of the above")

1.       Herod  Antipas was tetrarch of:
                        Judaea
                        Samaria
                        Galilee
                        Perea

2.      (Advanced)  Herod's attachment to Herodias led to :
                        conflict with Pilate
                        a state marriage in the temple
                        war with Nabatea
                        a battle with Philip

3.     Herod thought that John:
                        was raised from the dead
                        had been replaced by Jesus
                        was the Messiah
                        had a twin brother

4.       As a birthday present, Herodias asked for:
                        Ituraea
                        a white stallion
                        a pearl necklace
                        the head of John the Baptist

5.       When Jesus heard of the death of John, he:
                        went to see Herod
                        went into hiding
                        went to a lonely place
                        went to Nazareth

6.         On seeing five thousand hungry men, Jesus suggested :
                        they feed each other
                        they go into town to buy bread
                        they catch some fish
                        they all go home

7.        Read Mark 6:30-44  Unlike Matthew, Mark notes that the men were told to sit in:
                        long lines
                        groups of twelve
                        fifties
                        companies

8.        When Jesus walked on water, he was thought to be :
                        Moses
                        Elijah
                        an angel
                        a ghost

9.       The disciple who stepped onto the water was:
                        Peter
                        Philip
                        Matthew
                        Andrew

10.       After walking on the water, Jesus was acclaimed as:
                        Son of God
                        Son of Man
                        Son of David
                        King of the Jews
