New Testament “Who Said It?”

By Marianne Frost Bates

Match each New Testament person with the scripture statement made by him/her. A good family home evening activity would be to read the story from which each scripture is taken (see references following each statement).

1. Mary, mother of Jesus	a. “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.” (See Acts 7:56; story—Acts 6:8–7:60.)
2. King Herod	b. “Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe” (See John 20:25; story—John 20:19–31.)
3. John the Baptist	c. “I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?” (See Matt. 3:14; story—Matt. 3.)
4. Jesus Christ	d. “My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.” (See Luke 1:46–48; story—Luke 1:26–31, 39–49.)
5. Thief on the cross	e. “They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. … If thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.” (See John 20:13, 15; story—John 20:1–18.)
6. Mary Magdalene	f. “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.” (See Luke 23:42; story—Luke 23: 33, 39–43.)
7. Thomas	g. “As I made my journey … unto Damascus about noon, suddenly there shone from heaven a great light round about me. And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice saying unto me, … why persecutest thou me?” (See Acts 22:6–7 and Acts 13:9; story—Acts 22:3–16.)
8. Stephen	h. “And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people.” (See Rev. 14:6; story—Rev. 14:2, 6, heading; D&C 133:6–7; D&C 20:2, 5–12.)
