Step-by-step solution for: Books of the Old Testament - Fill in the Blanks
This worksheet asks you to “Finish the words” based on Bible verses and pictures. Each picture represents a key event or symbol from the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus, and the blank spaces are meant to be filled in with the first word of the specified verse — which is also the word that completes the image’s theme.
Let’s go one by one:
---
Picture: An empty tomb with the stone rolled away.
Verse Reference: Matthew 27:60 KJV
> *“And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.”*
✔ The first word of this verse is “And”, but that doesn’t fit the theme.
Wait — let’s look at the context. This image shows the empty tomb — the moment after the resurrection. But Matthew 27:60 is about Joseph of Arimathea placing Jesus’ body in the tomb — before the resurrection.
Actually, Matthew 28:6 says:
> *“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”*
But the worksheet says Matthew 27:60.
Let’s check the verse again:
> Matthew 27:60 (KJV):
> *“And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed.”*
The first word is “And” — but that’s not meaningful here.
➡️ However, looking at the image — an empty tomb — and the letter T, the most likely intended answer is “Tomb” — but that’s not from the verse.
Wait — perhaps there’s a mistake in the worksheet? Or maybe we’re supposed to find the key word associated with the image AND the verse.
Actually, let’s consider: Matthew 27:60 ends with “and departed.” But the image is clearly the resurrection scene — which is Matthew 28:6.
Perhaps the worksheet has a typo? Let’s assume it meant Matthew 28:6.
> Matthew 28:6 (KJV):
> *“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”*
Still no “T” word.
But if we look at Matthew 27:60, the key object is the tomb. And the image is the tomb. So perhaps the intended answer is:
✔ TOMB
It fits the image, starts with T, and is the subject of the verse.
---
Picture: Jesus rising from the tomb, with light/aura above Him — the Resurrection.
Verse Reference: Matthew 27:53 KJV
> *“And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”*
✔ First word: “And” — again, not helpful.
But the image is clearly the Resurrection.
And the verse reference is Matthew 27:53 — which talks about saints rising *after His resurrection*.
So the key concept is Resurrection.
The blank has 15 underscores — “Resurrection” has 11 letters. Hmm.
Wait — let’s count:
R _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
That’s 15 blanks.
“Resurrection” = 11 letters → too short.
What if it’s “RESURRECTION OF JESUS”? That’s 18 letters.
Too long.
Maybe just “RESURRECTION” — and the extra blanks are a mistake?
Or perhaps it’s “ROSE FROM THE DEAD”? That’s 15 characters including spaces? No, spaces aren’t usually counted.
Let’s try: “RESURRECTION” — 11 letters → doesn’t fill 15 blanks.
Wait — maybe it’s “HE IS RISEN”? That’s 9 letters.
Not matching.
Another idea: Perhaps the worksheet wants the first word of the verse — which is “And” — but that doesn’t make sense.
Alternatively — maybe it’s a trick, and we’re to write the theme word.
Given the image and context, the only logical answer starting with R is:
✔ RESURRECTION
Even though it doesn’t perfectly fit the blank count, it’s the intended answer.
---
Picture: Jesus on the cross.
Verse Reference: Mark 15:25 KJV
> *“And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.”*
✔ First word: “And”
Again, not helpful.
But the image is the Crucifixion.
So the key word is “Crucifixion” — 10 letters.
The blank has 10 underscores: C _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Perfect!
✔ CRUCIFIXION
---
Picture: A walking Bible — personified, with legs and arms — suggesting Word of God walking.
Verse Reference: Luke 11:28
> *“But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”*
✔ First word: “But”
Not helpful.
But the image is a walking Bible — symbolizing “The Word” — as in John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word…”
And Luke 11:28 talks about “the word of God”.
The blank has 9 underscores: W _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
“WORD” is 4 letters — too short.
“WORD OF GOD” is 10 characters with spaces.
Maybe “WORD” is the answer, and the rest are extras?
But 9 blanks.
Wait — what if it’s “WALKING WORD”? That’s 12 letters.
No.
Another possibility: “WITNESS”? Doesn’t fit.
Or “WONDER”? No.
Let’s look at Luke 11:28 again:
> *“But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”*
The key phrase is “the word of God”.
Perhaps the intended answer is:
✔ WORD
Even though it doesn’t fill all blanks, it’s the core concept.
But wait — the image is a walking Bible — so maybe “WALKING BIBLE”? Too long.
Another idea: In Christian teaching, Jesus is called “The Word” (John 1:1), and He walked among us.
So perhaps the answer is:
✔ WORD
And the extra blanks are for decoration or error.
---
## ✔ Final Answers:
Based on the images and the most logical biblical concepts (even if the verse references don’t perfectly match the first word), here’s the best solution:
1. TOMB — (Empty tomb image; Matthew 27:60 refers to the tomb)
2. RESURRECTION — (Jesus rising; Matthew 27:53 refers to resurrection context)
3. CRUCIFIXION — (Cross image; Mark 15:25 is the crucifixion scene)
4. WORD — (Walking Bible; Luke 11:28 refers to “the word of God”)
