Wow. That went by fast.

     Well, the quizzing year is over for most of us, and what a year it's been!  Not only did we get to study the gospel of Matthew, but Lighthouse set all sorts of local records, including having two of the top rookies in the PNW district and three quizzers in Great West.  Best of all, we glorified God, which is the reason we do this in the first place.  As long as we continue to fix our eyes on Jesus, we will do well, and I don't just mean at quizzing.  Keep studying God's Word, not just to quiz on, but because it is alive and active.  Well done Lighthouse.  Keep it up!

Prejump Tip for 26.

     Here's a tip for determining the answer to a situational question when it's based on Matthew 26:22 or 26:25, and starts with "Surely".  Consider the verses below.

Matthew 26:22

They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely not I, Lord?”

Matthew 26:25
Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, “Surely not I, Rabbi?”

  Can you see how the similarity in these quotes could cause a problem?  Both these verses can be situational questions, but in order to effectively pre-jump on them, you should know what type of question they are along with what they say, since both quotes start the same.  

     The situational for Matthew 26:22 will ask:

Q: Who said it, to whom*, and how? "Surely not I, Lord?"

 A: They (the twelve) were very sad and began to say to him (Jesus) one after the other,

*This part may not appear in the question.

     Matthew 26:25, in contrast, may ask "who said it", but there shouldn't be a "how" or "to whom" anywhere in a situational question from that verse.  So that's how you can tell the difference.    This should help in pre-jumps.
