_50 multiple choice Bible trivia questions with four options (A, B, C, D), the correct answer and a verse reference, grouped by level for Sunday school or Bible bowl._

## Quick answer

Here are 50 multiple choice Bible trivia questions. Each has four options (A, B, C and D), the correct answer and a Scripture reference. They are grouped by level: easy (15), the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem (8), medium (15) and hard (12). Use them for Bible bowl rounds, Sunday school quizzes, youth group or a family review.

Multiple choice questions work very well with a group: nobody is left blank, everyone can answer at the same time, and the leader can grade in seconds. Here are 50 questions with four options each, starting with an easy level, moving through a block on the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, and finishing with medium and hard questions.

Below each question you will find the correct answer and the reference to check in the Bible. You can print the list after a free sign-up, with or without the answers, or show it on a screen in presentation mode so the whole room sees the four options.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I use multiple choice questions in a Bible quiz competition?

Read the question and the four options aloud and give a few seconds for each team to show its letter (A, B, C or D) at the same time. Everyone takes part, and the judge grades right away with the reference.

### Are the questions grouped by difficulty?

Yes. The first 15 are easy, then 8 about the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, 15 of medium level and 12 hard ones that work well as tie-breakers.

### Can I print the questions with the options?

Yes. After a free sign-up you can print the list as a PDF or show it in presentation mode, which is handy for a Sunday school class or a church game night.

### Is there a version without the answers?

The printed PDF lets you choose whether to include the answers, so you can hand out a blank answer sheet and keep the key for the leader.
